Cannes. Such a chic word. Dommage, most of us here in SF have better things to do than worry about what the celebs are wearing. So that's where your StyleGirl comes in.
Handpicked, by moi, the best dressed of the Cannes Film Festival, which ended just this week.
Georgina Chapman (of Marchesa) wearing Marchesa, pictured with her boyfriend Harvey Weinstein. Marchesa is usually a little too embellished for my taste, but I love this dress. It's like a beautiful Rococo couch.
Adorable Milla Jovovich in Louis Vuitton. I really love these bold, primary colors.
Natalie Portman in Givenchy Haute Couture. Fashion writers love to compare Natalie to the inimitable Audrey Hepburn, and generally I just shake my head bewilderedly. But I love her in Givenchy, which was Audrey's favorite designer, and in this gown - even if she's not channeling Audrey Hepburn - she glows with that same elegant, modern grace.
Julianne Moore, in Christian Lacroix Haute Couture. The feathers and the buttery pale yellow of her gown are so Moulin Rouge meets Victorian countess.
Yoshino Kimura, in a kimono. I love this. I don't know why. I just love how she showed up in something like this and is just like, "Um, what?" Plus she looks hot.
Saving the best for last, Cate Blanchett in Armani Prive. I love the origami drapings on this gown, and I love how pale she looks in it. Cosmopolitan magazine (the fashion magazine for suburban teens everywhere) loves to caution, trashily, about how certain colors 'wash' people out. I think anything and everything can be a design element, and I like it, actually, when people wear clothes that wash them out - so long as it looks intentional. Like could you ever imagine Cate wearing a trashy Versace gown in bright pink? Please. Here, Cate just glows.

I agree 100% with the cate blanchett review. Her presence in that shot is unreal.
