Cannes Fashion

With the Cannes Film Festival in full swing, red carpet fashion followers have been royally spoiled this year.  I'm not going to discuss the worst... because everyone is looking fabulous alongside the French Riviera this week. 

My best dressed is without a doubt, Kate Beckinsale, attended the premiere of Robin Hood on May 12th.  Beckingsale is also a judge, along with Benicio del Toro and Tim Burton.

Beckinsale looked more like a leading lady than a judge in this frothy, light blue Marchesa gown.  Accessorized with Chopard jewels, the British beauty was elegant and timeless.  I love the asymetrical detail of the sheer sash and the movement of the fishtail.  It's simply lovely.

Pastel blue seems to be the colour of the season... Bollywood star, Aishwarya Rai dazzled us in this Elie Saab dress.  I loved the scale or petal like layers on this dress and the dainty sheer shoulder as well.

I don't know who wore these Christian Louboutin shoes... her name is Hofit Golan, and she was shot with French director, Christophe Guillaume... but these shoes are hot (and his are too). They take the YSL "cage bootie" trend to a new level, adding elegance with a less torturous, scalopped pattern, and add a little bit of "Dorothy" in sparkling red.

Eva Longoria poses with Aishwarya Rai...and Parker looks like she could run away and get married (again) in this Emilio Pucci gown.

Eva proves once again that she is a red carpet fave in this body hugging, Naeem Khan gown.  Her figure looks flawless and I enjoy the elegant simplicity of this gown, which still delivers on the glitz.

Eva Longoria Parker shows us a more casual side, in a grey Herve Leger mini, sapphire YSL heels and a navy Birkin bag.

Cate Blanchett attended the premiere of her new film, Robin Hood on May 12 in this gorgeous Alexander McQueen dress.  I don't even think I can call it a dress, or a gown... it's a piece of art.  Looking regal as always, the gown was personally selected by the late Lee McQueen, and it couldn't be a more perfect fit.  Blanchett takes risks on the red carpet, and isn't afraid to sport unconventional couture.  This creation epitomizes both Blanchett's elegance and McQueen's genius as a designer.
