festival de cannes

award shows always win my heart as my favorite thing to watch on T.V. a) because of the gowns and b) because of the gowns. although Cannes is not televised i still love to swoon over the fabulousness that is emitted on the red carpet. may 12th through the 23rd, stars gathered in the south of France to attend the 11-day long festival.



cate blanchett wore the late Alexander McQueen and fashion critiques everywhere fell in love. even when pregnant, cate manages to pull of the most fashion-forward yet effortless looks. cannes is known for the fashion maven to come out in everyone so a dress this couture-like is tolerable without bird jokes.

now my other choice for best dressed would have to be the other kate-- beckinsale that is. she was more than a vision in Marchesa who is one of my favorite designers. they are always whimsical with a tinge of seduction...perfect for kate.
