Spotted on their way to departures at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport, it’s apparent that the duo both followed a memo for their airport looks: head-to-toe black with a statement bag. Case in point, Freen opted for a zip-up blouson and trousers with a green Ferragamo Hug bag in tow. As for Becky, the actress headed for her flight while wearing leather separates with a turtleneck and a Balenciaga Le City bag in white.

Becky was the first between the two to make her red-carpet debut at the 77th Cannes Film Festival, with her arrival for the Kinds of Kindness premiere alongside the Saudi Arabian film producer Mohammed Al Turki. The evening saw the starlet wearing a Balenciaga gown featuring a dramatic sleeve conjoined to its hemline. As for her jewellery, Becky kept them in minimalist fashion with a refined selection from Bvlgari.

For her first assignment in Cannes, Freen was scheduled for a series of press panels with Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea International Film Festival (RSIFF). For the occasion, the actress wore a ladylike colour-block ensemble with pointed heels by Ferragamo. On the evening—at the ‘Women In Cinema’ gala, also hosted by the RSIFF—Freen switched into a Homolog couture cocktail dress with feathered tendrils from the fashion brand’s Spring/Summer 2024 collection, that was reportedly inspired by “the beauty of nature and flames.”
