Cannes Film Festival 2013

Marion Cotillard

Lots and lots of writing on my blog at the moment, partly due to the writing challenge I am participating in this month....

I thought I'd share some of my favourite looks from the 2013 Cannes Film Festival....

Carey Mulligan & Jennifer Lawrence have looked fabulous at every event. 

Doutzen Kroes

Jennifer Lawrence looked fabulous at Cannes this year, her stylist always does such a great job on the Red Carpet....

Met Gala : PUNK : Chaos to Couture

The theme of the 2013 New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art's Monday night Gala was

PUNK : Chaos to Couture, held to highlight its spring exhibition.

Some of those attending clearly embraced their idea of punk completely, some simply went dressed for a gala....and some added a "punk" accessory or two.

If you're going to do it, you might as well go all the way....

Opinions of the outfits/costumes/gowns worn varied widely, as to be expected with a theme this interesting....but for me it was Madonna and Sarah Jessica Parker who stole the show.

You have to have attitude in spades & a lot of confidence to wear those clothes & I loved it. British fashion so often takes risks & SJP often carries that off perfectly.

I loved too that SJP wore British from head to foot, London is so strongly associated with punk rock....

and only Madonna could possibly get away with that outfit....she rocked it, as they say.

Oscars 2013 : I Liked It But....

Jennifer Lawrence in Dior Haute Couture

I really went back and forth on this dress....

my conclusion though is that the dress is wearing her and the fabric looks too heavy.

She looks beautiful but uncomfortable.

Reese Witherspoon in Louis Vuitton.

She's so pretty and her hair looks gorgeous here....I think this colour is just okay on her.

I also think the bodice of the dress squashes her.   

Charlize Theron in Dior.

Beautiful but just lacking something for me....

maybe a statement jewellery piece or some colour, an accent of some kind?

Catherine Zeta Jones in Zuhair Murad

I loved her dress & think she is always so glamorous....

last night she appeared to be wearing a lot of make-up, too much.

Jennifer Aniston in Valentino

I absolutely loved seeing Jennifer in something other than black & this dress looks perfect for the Oscars. I think an up-do would have looked better on her though, her hair is just a little casual for the occasion.

Adele wearing Jenny Packham....

yes, it's black again but she looks lovely, her hair and make-up is gorgeous - and she won!! 

Amanda Seyfried in custom Alexander McQueen.

I liked this but just didn't love it....the top half is wrong somehow.
