The Peruvian model and actress recounts last night's glamorous festivities with captions and original photographs.

Every spring, the glittering destination of Cannes shines a little bit brighter thanks to&nbsp;the arrival of the annual Cannes Film Festival. For 11 days, the French Riviera gets taken over by directors, actresses, models and other members of the global glitterati. While each day is jam-packed with movie premieres, cocktails and more, but among all of them one has persisted as the festival&#39;s&nbsp;crown jewel: amfAR Gala&nbsp;Cannes, which&nbsp;benefits amfAR, The Foundation for AIDS Research.

Though our invitation seemed to have gotten lost in the mail, we did manage to get the 411 on all the delicious details of the evening thanks to our friend, Peruvian model, and actress <a href="https://www.instagram.com/juanaburga/?hl=en" target="_blank">Juana Burga</a>. Burga is no stranger to the red carpet, so when the opportunity to accompany her as she prepared for the gala arrived, we instantly jumped at the chance. Clad in a gorgeous black tulle ensemble by <a href="https://www.ashistudio.com/" target="_blank">Ashi Studio</a>, she was easily one of the best-dressed beauties of the night. Relive all the delicious French Riviera-glamour, as told by Burga, below. Allons-y!

WE HAVE ARRIVED

I arrived in Cannes the day of amfAR straight from Paris where I was shooting with L&rsquo;Officiel Paris&nbsp;for a special upcoming project. Nothing better than sunbathing before the craziness of the festival.&nbsp;

My dress is Ashi Couture. I&rsquo;m wearing Rene Capvilla shoes. Wearing my lucky &eacute;meraude jewelry, I wanted to keep the look strong and not overdress myself with a river of diamonds.&nbsp;

The dress is so dramatic&mdash;I&rsquo;m very excited!&nbsp;

LATINA POWER

Latina power! Eva is my inspiration and I look up to her as an actress and philanthropist! She is amazing. We have each done several projects for L&rsquo;Or&eacute;al but haven&#39;t&nbsp;had the opportunity to work together. A dream of course!! It was great to be with her last night.
