Cannes Fashion

The spotlight has most definitely been on the fashion at the Cannes Film festival this week. Whether you has seen little snippits in the weekly mags or their online sources it is very difficult not to have noticed the festival news.

The Cannes International Film festival has been held every year, generally in May, since 1946 in Cannes in the South of France. It is a showcase for Movies coming out, there are movies in competition and given the massive media exposure, the non-public festival is attended by many movie stars and is a popular venue for film produces to launch their new films and attempt to sell their works to the distributors who come from all over the world. It is also a time where sponsors and Partners of the festival can showcase their work, such as Chopard and Swarovski.

I've put together a few of the fabulous outfits showcased over the few days.

There you have it lovely ladies, the best of the best and my Style Stars at Cannes International Film Festival 2011. Did you see anything you like? I love looking at all these pretty dresses, it gives me inspiration for design ideas for dresses in the future. I do this in magazines too, for about 3 years I've been tearing pictures out of magazines that I love for inspiration for lots of different things. I keep the file in my bedside table and every now and again I look through it and swoon at the fabulous pieces. Do any of ya'll have inspiration files?

Met Ball 2011 Style Stars

For the Met Ball, the style was beyond AMAZING but there were definitely a few that stood out to me, both good and bad. Here are some of my favourites

Doutzen Kroes in Giambattista Valli

I picked these two outfits for the simple reason as both girls have absolutely stayed true to their own style, Janelle Monae with her signature Menswear look and Jessica Szohr with her boho look and the fact the she is also in Topshop is kind of cool.

Jessica Stam in Tommy Hilfiger

Crystal Renn in Zac Posen

I love how unusual Crystal Renn's dress is. When it comes to the Met Ball the thought that springs to mind is go big or go home so I think this fits the bill perfectly. But isn't Crystal Renn supposed to be flying the flag for the Real Women

Freida Pinto in Chanel

I love the individuality of this dress, it's doesn't have thh Princess effect of alot of the dresses and it was one of the only white dresses on show on the night. It fits her like a glove and her figure is amazing. And don't even get me started on how amazing her skin is..

Jennifer Hudson in Vera Wang

Simply WOW.. Stunner!

Isabel Lucas in Louis Vuitton

I think Isable Lucas is one of the most beautiful girls in the industry at the moment, from her humble beginnings in Home and Away she has done so well. I love all these pieces but I think altogether is slightly overpowering. That simple rule of take off one accessory before you leave the house would have definitely been worth following on this occassion. I think if she took off the earrings and changed them for a simple stud it would have been alot nicer. Still like it though.

Maggie Q in Tadashi Shoji

Bar Rafaeli unsure of Designer

Lea Michele in Escada

So these were a few of my favourite dresses that I haven't already shown you. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Blake Lively's dress by Chanel and also Love Taylor Swift's dress by J Mendel Couture. There are also a few dresses in the Date Night post that I love Mainly Jessica Alba in Ralph Lauren and my favourite Lala Vasquez's dress designed by Vera Wang. What did you think? Who were your favourites?
