Maika Ngoc Khanh spent more than a month carefully preparing costumes, and accessories to makeup layout for this important occasion with the desire to introduce traditional national culture and highlight the beauty of Vietnamese women on the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival.

She also participated in many activities during her two weeks in France, including performing for designer Chona Bacaoco's fashion show.

Yếm is a simply-cut piece of usually simple cloth, that served as the common upper-body garment for Vietnamese women for thousands of years. Vietnamese women usually wore a yếm and a skirt.
