Yes We Canne!

The next best thing to the Met Ball is the yearly Cannes Film Festival! Celebs come dressed to the nines to either promote their movies, or just to have another excuse to look fabulous. This year was no disappointment although there were probably a few more flops than fab…here are a few that left me saying sweet Lady Gaga!

Cate Blanchett drew attention in this dress by the late Alexander Mcqueen with it’s billowy white tulle and the oriental bird design. I for one was not crazy about this dress like most people were, but I can’t ever honestly say that Alexander Mcqueen has ever done wrong!

You don’t see her much in movies or at events anymore, but it was like Naomi Watts had never left the lime light when she showed up in a gorgeous cream colored dress by Gucci:

Gucci was everywhere at Cannes this year and just so happened to be the pieces I was immediately drawn to! Kate Beckinsale is always style icon on or off the red carpet and this is one of my favorite dresses she has worn thus far! Later in the week at the film festival she made jaws drop in this pink mauve Temperley London dress with asymmetric detail…Grecian princess!



Now, not everyone can look great no matter how hard they try…exhibit A, Lindsay Lohan! She is one of the hottest messes in young Hollywood and this dress and the hairstyle choice with the dress just did not go! It would be nice to see her looking elegant in a longer, feminine piece for once.

For any big event that involves celebrities and a red carpet, one of the BEST designer labels is Marchesa! Georgina Chapman is THE designer to go to if you want feminine frills and subtle sexiness. Kate Beckinsale again gets it right once again in long periwinkle and feathered tulle gown by the designer.

Eva Longoria is another gorgeous actress who rarely makes any sort of style faux pas and rocked it in this shimmery Naeem Khan dress with a gorgeous train! Her skin tone and perfect features make the dress a winner!

Finally, Camilla Belle stays out of the spotlight most of the time but is ALWAYS recognized for her remarkable fashion sense. If only I had the bank account to front the money for this Gucci mini adorned with Swarovski crystals. So jealous of this girl!
