Fashion Friday: Cannes Edition

Bonjour Cannes! My favorite film festival started this week and the fashion is already gorg! As the critics review the latest artsy movies, here's a review on the movie stars' fashion performances.

Marion Cotillard made a summery splash into Cannes with this Dior number. The designer's spokeswoman looks flawless in the peachy and beautiful beaded dress! Loved the yellow shoes, which lively brighten up the look.

Diane Kruger manages to take any design that might sound risky or not flattering and make into another flawless appearance. Tight silhouette, open strappy dress sides, strappy shoes to match...oh, and just casual hair/makeup because she can get away with going that natural. Sigh, #whysoperfect! 

The Marchesa train of heaven! Eva Longoria symbolizes everything I hope my 30s will be. And yes I envision Marchesa as a part of that life stage. Eva obviously isn't old at all but come on, the sleek figure and big entrance while rocking the skinny arm...I don't see any 20 something year old being able to pull this off in Hollywood. 

There will never be another Grace Kelly but Diane Kruger is as close as we'll probably ever get to seeing Hollywood royalty like that. To sum up the Giambattista Valli Couture mint dress in one word: goddess.

Fashion Recap: The Met Gala!

It was a fashion fairytale come to life Monday night in New York City as the 2012 Met Gala celebrated "Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations". A night consisting of Queen Anna Wintour's presence, sparkles, feathers, and all the biggest names in the fashion industry...sounds like heaven! I loved that a lot of the A-listers actually took some risks at the event instead of wearing basic award show type of dresses. This is the NYC Met after all, go big or go back to LA!

Best Dressed:

Ah Gisele and Tom! Every fairytale needs a king and a queen! This night was definitely all about the fabulous gowns that the ladies were wearing but it wouldn't have been right to blog about the Gala and not include these two. Let's be honest, their perfection has been leaving everyone envious since their 2008 Met appearance. Still swooning!

Scarlett Johansson in this Dolce & Gabbana gown is the reason why celebrity and designer ad campaigns work so well. The beading, the train, and the tight fit were made for ScarJo. She looks like a true movie star here! This gown is so stunning I just want to frame it in my house(or do an Avengers/Black Widow style workout and potentially wear it).

First off, how and why is Gwyneth Paltrow getting hotter as she gets older? I'm all for "beauty at any age" but GOOP's fierceness has definitely increased since her Brad Pitt dating days. She totally pulled off the slinky and daring Versace! I could've done without the side boob for obvious wardrobe malfunction reasons but Gwyneth's color and pattern coordination right down to the shoes made up for it.

Holly shimmer! After a successful fashion moment with Donna Karan at the Emmy's, Nina Dobrev opted to wear another one of the designer's gowns. The Donna Karan Atelier's texture was so elegant but the gown's details completely prevented it from blending in with the crowd. I love that Nina is finding her own style while working with this brand. Dresses like this that have the wide diversity to easily switch from editorial to red carpet are always the memorable ones!

Gala co-chair Carey Mulligan didn't disappoint in this Prada sparkling dress! She's literally wearing a work of art. This texture can be super difficult to pull off because it can appear cheap but let's be real...this is Prada's designs. "Looking cheap" was never really an option. The way the sequins are reflecting off of everything adds to the dress' complexity. 

And then there was Diane Kruger. I love this woman's ability to work any and every fashion trend. She's so fabulous the girl could lounge around a beach with this Prada gown on and she wouldn't look out of place. The feathers, the clutch, the necklace, the way she doesn't even have to do anything with her hair because the whole look is already perfection! Diane Kruger is a natural fashion icon who doesn't even have to try hard.
