2013 Cannes Fashion

Better late than never, right? I couldn't resist sharing some of my favorite fashion moments from the Cannes Film Festival last week!

The Best

Samantha in Dior: I think this is my favorite of the festival. This is how you elevate basic black! While the color is classic, the silhouette is flattering and modern, and the mixed materials make this a stand-out! // Cara in Burberry: I rarely gravitate towards low-cut pieces or super-revealing styles, but there is something demure about this. (If a low-cut, entirely lace-back dress could be demure...) Well, she looks great in it and I love it!  // Ahna in Marni: Ahna was all over the Cannes red carpet in a variety of looks, but this one is my favorite! I like the unique print and cut, I like the ruffles, and I like that I could see myself wearing it - it seems so versatile! (So, Ahna, if you wanted to send this to me, I'd be happy to wear it to any upcoming weddings I've got to attend...) I also love love LOVE the neutral color-blocked heels!
 

The Good

Petra in Elie Saab: Isn't this beautiful?! The light rose-blush tone, the all-over beading, the tasteful coverage but sexy fit... So pretty! // Jessica in Emilio Pucci: I am in love with this color! Just shy of neon, this bright pink is perfect for summer and perfect for her tan! Plus, she makes that Angelina leg pop look lovely! I'll take one of these, too! // Dita in Elie Saab Couture: How cute, right?! The retro fit is adorable, the color makes her porcelain skin pop, and the gradient ombre beading is to-die-for!

The Bad

Olivia in Roberto Cavalli: What the...? I know the dress underneath this jacket was salvageable, but this jacket is grotesque. Odd-looking, ill-fitting... Is it mean to ask if she's pregnant...? // Milla in Chanel Haute Couture: Meh. I guess this isn't horrifying. But it ain't good. It's a little too silly and trying too hard to be vintage-inspired. I could see Michelle Williams in this, but I don't love it on Milla. Her hair looks pretty, though. // Florence in Miu Miu: Well, here she goes again. Florence definitely takes risks, but unfortunately, they're usually the wrong ones... I have to say, if this dress had been hemmed, or let out a little across the hips, or cut differently... or you know, she could have just worn a different dress... And what's with that little dinky off-color bag?! // Marion in Christian Dior: Meh again. Marion was another one who was all over the red carpet, but sadly, I felt that she fell short on most of her fashion choices. This just looks like a bad junior prom dress to me.
 

The Men

Justin: LET'S ALL JUST TAKE A MOMENT HERE. HOLY HEAVEN. Does it get better than JT? I mean, really... That face. That hair. Those clothes... (1) Laidback casual cool. From his jacket to her unkempt skinny tie to his perfectly tailored pants and killer shoes... I love! (2) I just had to take a deep breath after looking at JT in this tux. Cue a Rachel Zoe-inspired "OMIGOD." Gorgeous in this Balenciaga. (3) Nautical chic? Gingham and a double-breasted cardigan? I have few words for how handsome he looks.
 

Leo: Yet again. Let's take a moment. Leo can do no wrong. (Ok, except maybe for that goatee...) (1) Perfectly undone. (2) Perfectly polished. Have you all seen The Great Gatsby yet? Ain't nothin' wrong with a clean-shaven Leonardo DiCaprio, with highlighted hair, in tuxedos and fisherman sweaters. Sigh.
 

Serious Sparkle

Doutzen in Atelier Versace: Similar to Petra Nemcova's perfect pink number, I love this, too! Though I'm not in love with the big old cut-out across the boobs, I do love the color, the jagged waistline, and the SPARKLE! // Aimee: THIS IS AMAZING. Holy guacamole. Head-to-toe sequined snakeskin? Don't mind if I do! // Alessandra in Roberto Cavalli: This is super disco-y, and could have gone horribly wrong, but putting it on a skinny mini like Alessandra keeps it safe. The fit is perfect, and so is the puddling at the hem. Very beautiful. // Kristin in Armani Prive: Think you can't do neck-to-toe sequins past a certain age? Wrong! This is how you do it! Kristin kept it classic in cut, but bold in color, and she looks fantastic! // Irina in Saint Laurent: Another disco ball moment, but it works! By pairing this sequined stunner with casual, slightly disheveled hair, it all really works!
 

Winning in White

Audrey in Yiqing Yin: Oh, Audrey! This is Bjork's swan dress gone RIGHT. As the Mistress of Ceremonies, Audrey truly shone in this gorgeously special white number piece. // Anais: This is pretty adorable. The length, the one-shoulder style, the tiers... so precious. The perfect dress for summer! // Jennifer in Christian Dior: I love Jennifer's look! A typically classic white tube dress got kicked up a notch with an asymmetrical peplum gather, and a splattering of bright colors popping at the side! I also love her new haircut, and I love that she pumped up the volume with those pink pointy-toed heels! Perfect!

So what do you all think? Do you agree/disagree? Who were your favorites this year? Who did I leave out?
