The Boot Babe Takes Cannes France for Cannes Film Festival: Western Glam Meets the Red Carpet and the Riviera

May 2025 — Cannes, France — When cowboy boots hit the cobblestones of the French Riviera, you know The Boot Babe has arrived.

Western fashion’s most adventurous ambassador, Ashley Jackson, aka The Boot Babe, brought her signature charm and cowboy boots to the Cannes Film Festival, where she turned heads, sparked conversations, and explored the cinematic side of the Western world. From red carpets to rooftop soirées, Ashley was on a mission: to shine a spotlight on the *Western film genre and remind the world that cowgirls know how to do glamour, too.

"I wanted to represent the Western community with elegance, grit, and a little bit of sparkle," Ashley said. “Western stories deserve a global stage — and where better than Cannes?”

While in town, The Boot Babe rubbed shoulders with Hollywood elite and rising international filmmakers, advocating for more cowboy boots and wide open skies on screen. She met with producers, directors, and fellow Western enthusiasts who believe it’s time for the genre to gallop back into the spotlight — this time with a modern, female-forward perspective.

But the adventure didn’t stop in Cannes.

Just a short drive down the coast, The Boot Babe made her way to Monaco for the Formula 1 Grand Prix, where horsepower took on a whole new meaning. Swapping red carpets for racetracks, she brought her boots aboard a luxury yacht in the harbor, proving once and for all that cowboy boots belong just as much on deck as they do in the dirt.

“This is what it’s all about — crossing worlds, turning heads, and making boots the centerpiece of any scene,” she said. “I wore my boots on a yacht in Monaco. That’s not just a moment — that’s a movement.”

From Southern France to Southern style, The Boot Babe is taking the Western aesthetic global — and she’s just getting started.
