Cannes, France, Thursday 8th May 2025: Hedley Studios, makers of the world's finest driveable automotive art, is the only company worldwide recreating iconic classic cars in collaborative partnerships with Bugatti, Ferrari, Aston Martin and Bentley. Hedley Studios will showcase its full limited-edition portfolio at the world-renowned Cannes Film Festival from 13-24 May. Hedley Studios will launch a pop-up showroom at the stunning Vieux Port de Cannes Marina, featuring all four editions of the brand's fully drivable automotive art. The exhibit will be situated at the port on the Jetée Albert Edouard Nord, directly overlooking the Palais des Festivals.
Guests, visitors and celebrities attending the world-renowned Cannes Film Festival or simply visiting the French Riviera will be able to catch a glimpse of Hedley Studios' wonderfully hand-crafted creations each commemorating prestigious examples of automotive history.
All four Hedley Studios pieces will feature in the pop-up showroom, with the brand's road-legal Bentley Blower Jnr on display. A wonderful testament to the original 1929 Bentley Blower, this reimagination of a British racing legend has been designed and handcrafted by the Hedley Studios artisans to bring the automotive icon to a new generation. Built to 85% scale and fully electric, the Bentley Blower Jnr will provide a remarkably elegant mode of transport on 'La Croisette' and around the picturesque French Riviera.
Three additional Hedley Studios pieces will be on display at the pop-up showroom. Among them is the Ferrari Testa Rossa J - a 75% scale tribute to the Italian marque's legendary, Le Mans-winning 1957 250 Testa Rossa. This historically accurate recreation of the motorsport icon is the result of over 300 hours of meticulous design and traditional handcrafting by the Hedley team.
Bringing a slice of cinematic style and excitement to the pop-up will be the Aston Martin DB5 J 'No Time to Die Edition'. A 66% scale and electrified recreation of James Bond's synonymous car, the DB5 J 'No Time to Die Edition' pays homage to the unparalleled style and thrill of one of film history's greatest automotive stars. Complete with all the gadgets that adorned the DB5 driven by Daniel Craig in the 2021 film, including miniguns, cycling digital number plates and smokescreen, the DB5 Junior 'No Time to Die Edition' brings a cinematic and automotive legend to life.
Completing the Hedley Studios collection on display in Cannes will be Hedley Studios' very first piece of automotive art, the Bugatti Baby II. A celebration of a French icon, the Bugatti Type 35, this 75% reimagination reflects a unique combination of craftsmanship and automotive history. The Bugatti Baby II has been developed as a true testament to its iconic original, with Hedley Studios' engineers and designers utilising 3D scans of the 1924 Grand Prix car to ensure historic accuracy.
Ben Hedley, Founder and CEO of Hedley Studios, commented: 'The Cannes Film Festival is one of the most prestigious in the world, and we're delighted to be showcasing our full line-up of automotive art in the heart of Cannes. Each of our pieces resembles a slice of true automotive art, with our teams of designers and engineers applying hours of attention and hand-crafting skills and techniques to their creation.
'Guests and visitors at the glorious IGY Vieux Port de Cannes Marina will be welcome to experience our pieces of automotive art up close from 13-24 May at our pop-up showroom. The perfect backdrop for these wonderful pieces to be displayed, we're sure that the IGY Vieux Port de Cannes Marina will be abuzz with excitement and anticipation during the film festival.'

The sheer skirt flowed to the floor. D'Amelio completed her look with sandal heels by Gianvito Rossi. As for her jewelry, D'Amelio went relatively minimalist save for a pair of earrings. The influencer regularly collaborates with stylist Siena Montesano Gones, who also curated D'Amelio's Global Gift Gala look from Monday's event.

Dakota Johnson Goes Sheer in Long-sleeve Nensi Dojaka Midi Dress and Bodysuit While Promoting ‘Materialists' on ‘Seth Meyers'
Dakota Johnson made her latest stop on her 'Materialists' promotional tour on Thursday in New York City with an appearance on 'The Late Show With Seth Meyers.' The actress costars in the film alongside Chris Evan and Pedro Pascal. For her late-night talk show appearance, Johnson opted for the sheer trend, styling a long-sleeve midi dress courtesy of Nensi Dojaka. The actress wore the sheer piece with a fitted silhouette and exposed seams throughout. Beneath her sheer dress, Johnson added a brown, strapless bodysuit with a formfitting design.

She completed the ensemble with a pair of black Saint Laurent Raven slingback pointed-toe pumps. When it came to her glam, Johnson's hair was styled straight and worn down, cascading past her shoulders, with fringe to frame her face by stylist Mark Townsend. Her makeup included such elements as bold brows, lined eyes and a glossy lip courtesy of artist Georgie Eisdell. Johnson's look was curated by Kate Young, who WWD named Best Stylist at the 2025 WWD Style Awards. Young recently styled Johnson in another sheer look for the 2025 Cannes Film Festival. While attending the Kering and Cannes Film Festival Official Dinner on May 18, Johnson wore an allover shimmering sleeveless dress by Gucci, with jewelry courtesy of Boucheron. Johnson is just one of Young's high-profile clients. The stylist also collaborates with Michelle Williams and Julianne Moore. In an interview with Young from January, the stylist explained the rapid change she's seen in the fashion and entertainment industries and how the two have become inextricably linked. 'People didn't even have a stylist. I think a lot of people bought a dress to go to the Globes, or maybe their costume designer did it,' she said. 'Celebrities and designers form alliances in a way they didn't used to. They might have met and become friends in the past, but now people align themselves with brands and then also become brand ambassadors or faces of campaigns,' Young said. 'Now, brands are so good at identifying talent they're interested in very early.' Written and directed by Oscar nominee Celine Song, 'Materialists' follows Johnson's character Lucy, a New York City matchmaker who finds herself at the center of a love triangle between her former flame, played by Evans, and a new love interest, played by Pascal. The film hits theaters June 13.
