#BestoftheFest: Partying with Cannes Lions Insiders
You thought you knew Cannes from Bella Hadid’s Instagram posts, but you were wrong. Only after the parade of supermodels pack up and leave the film festival does the real fun begin. (Although, now that you mention it, we wouldn’t have minded attending this year’s amfAR gala one bit.) Below, we track down five in-the-know creatives in attendance at this week’s Cannes Lions, the town’s aptly-named International Festival of Creativity.

No one said partying internationally was easy! Especially not with a hangover. But luckily, Blowfish is here to save you from your morning. (Or, more aptly, from last night’s decision to just have one teeny little glass of rosé.) Blowfish comes in a pack of twenty “I’m-not-dying-anymore”-flavored lemon tabs to dissolve in water, just waiting for you at your local CVS.
