With awards season well behind us in the States, it’s nice to have the Cannes Film Festival to pull us out of the winter doldrums. Cannes is essentially the official “kick-off” to awards season, as many of the Oscar frontrunners are first debuted at during the week long festivities. Along with numerous movie premiers, there are plenty of formal fêtes and fashion shows to keep everyone busy during their stay. The event brings out many of Hollywood’s elite, international socialites, and fashionistas alike who are all adorning the latest in fashion trends that look amazing next to the gorgeous Riviera backdrop.
One of the big events of the week is the amfAR gala that always proves to be one of the most start studded events of the week. One star who made sure she was dressed to impress was Freida Pinto, who was accompanied by her boyfriend, Dev Patel. Pinto was dressed to the nines in a black sequins Lanvin dress and Chopard diamond drop earrings. Although there was no visible engagement ring on her finger, the couple had to yet again deny the wedding rumors. Also showcasing her undeniable style at the gala was Festival Juror, Uma Thurman, who chose a figure hugging, Chanel Haute Couture grey gown paired with a pair of simple Chopard drop earrings. Victoria’s Secret model, Alessandra Ambrosio chose a detailed Robert Cavalli gown that matched the color of the water along the famous French coast. Beautifully accenting her gown was the dramatic pair of drop earrings and matching bangle bracelets that helped solidify her status as one of the runway’s elite.
Since the purpose of the festival is to showcase films for the upcoming year, movie premieres are the main attraction and seem to be more like fashion shows than movie viewings. Milla Jovovich channeled the 1940s with her Prada red and white polo style gown for The Conquest premiere. Since she is the new face of Jacob & Co., she was sure to pair her frock with a pair of Jacob & Co. drop earrings and a Jacob & Co. watch. Also seen on the model turned actress was her wedding band from husband Paul W.S. Anderson. Kirsten Dunst looked anything but melancholy at the premiere of her new film, Melancholia. The actress chose a black and emerald green textured, Rodarte halter gown for the occasion, which she paired with a Bulgari cuff bracelet and pair of Bulgari drop earrings. Newly single, Bar Rafaeli flaunted her newly single status with a figure forming Robert Cavalli gown and Chopard diamond ring and pair of Chopard diamond drop earrings at the premiere of The Beaver. With the end of such a magical festival, we now have a number of great movies to look forward to as well as another great season of award shows.
