Cannes Fashion 2011

The Cannes Film Festival last month was a goldmine of all things gorgeous and magnificent!

Here are a few of my favorite looks.

Fan Bingbing-- I love the ombre effect in her gown.  The deep color also offsets her lovely compexion.

Fan Bingbing-- The red is also a wonderful color for her skin tone and really sets off her dark hair and eyes.  I love how she incorporated traditional Oriental color and symbolism into the design.

Karolina Kurkova-- As expected of a Victoria's Secret Angel, Karolina is absolutely fetching.  The low cut back, midnight blue, and upswept hair create a look of sultry, Old Hollywood glamour.

Frederique Bel-- the French actress looked every bit the French belle in this lovely red number with matching shoes.

Aishwarya Rai-- the "Most Beautiful Woman in the World" did not fail to disappoint in this two-tone, modern silhouetted gown.

Bar Rafaeli-- this Israeli beauty literally shone in this metallic feathered dress.

Diane Kruger-- was every bit Helen of Troy (the most beautiful woman in the world) at Cannes.  This simple gown allowed her perfect figure and features to show through = majestic.

Emily Browning-- looked absolutely adorable in this sweet lace dress.  This, ladies, is lace done right.  The lovely champagne color also show off her flawless, creamy skin.

Gianna Jun--  was as pretty as a princess in this precious pink piece.  [try saying that five times fast ;) ]

Gwen Stefani-- Gwen, Gwen, Gwen, how do you always look so fabulous?!

Clemence Poesy-- every bit the French country cutie.  Can't you just picture her stepping out of a toile print!

Emily Browning-- strikes again with this super cute green patterned frock and amazing nude platforms.

Mia Wasikowska-- just look at that gorgeous neck...

Jessica Chastain-- yellow is not an easy color to pull off.  Jessica not only got by, her yellow frock paired with her lovely red hair and lips catapulted her to the top of the Cannes Most Fashionable list!

Julia Saner-- her dress is so ridiculously amazing that she gets tree pictures!

Gorg!

OMGsh!  Absolutely breathtaking...

Karolina Kurkova--  the dress!  the shoes!!!

Kirsten Dunst-- I am officially in love with this dress.  It's so flirty and feminine, light and airy, chic and sophisticated, classic and fashion forward...

Kirsten Dunst-- this goldenrod color is lovely with her complexion.  It really shows how rosy her skin is.  I want her shoes!

Lea Seydoux-- pretty in pink.  I love the smocking, skirt, and black accent belt.  A dropped waist and tea length hem is hard for a lot of women to pull off, but it looks great on her and is really flattering to her figure.

Michelle Rodriguez-- this girl can really clean up nicely.  I always love to see Michelle all dolled up-- especially in such a fashion forward outfit.

Zoe Saldana-- is also wearing one of my fashion loves...   it's just so beautiful... [sigh...]

Amy Adams-- first of all, I just have to commend my girl for wearing some 'hose!  OMGsh, I think she's worthy of the list just for that... In addition she has some really awesome sleeves and a great structure to her dress.

Salma Hayek-- can she ever make a wrong fashion step?  I love the millions of layers of chiffon and the gorgeous beading.

Sonam Kapoor-- I love a fashion risk taker.  Sonam's gamble certainly paid off.  She looked incredible in this mod tribute to Old Hollywood glamour.

Uma Thurman-- put anything that bold and figure hugging on someone as statuesque as Uma Thurman and you're sure to have a knockout.  Just goes to show that you don't need to show a lot of skin to be a bombshell.

Uma Thurman--  another lace number that I'm loving.  Again, the high neckline shows that showing skin is not necessary to be attractive.

Ziyi Zhang-  I love how this sweet and simple gown shows of this sweet and simple girl.  The Portrait neckline puts her delicate color bone at advantage, the ruched waist shows off her figure, and peachy cream color goes well with her dark hair and eyes.  The red lipstick completes the look.

Got any favorites from recent awards shows and red carpet events?  We'd love to see and hear what you think!

XOXO,
