Best looks of Cannes Film Festival 2011 — part II.

Now that the 64th annual Cannes Film Festival is over, here is a recap of my favorite looks from the last 6 days of the event. There are less traditional red carpet looks this time to make it more interesting.

Janet Jackson in Haider Ackerman. amfAR’s Cinema Against AIDS Gala.
Janet is spot on for the upcoming fall with the deep green and cabernet colors. I also love that this isn’t a traditional gown and the fit is  perfect.

Kirsten Dunst in Chanel. amfAR’s Cinema Against AIDS Gala.
Kirsten looks precious in this soft pink dress by Chanel. The detail of this dress is amazing.

Zoe Saldana in Dolce & Gabanna. “Le Grand Journal” television appearance.
Since I’m not 12 anymore, I always worry about wearing stars, hearts, etc. Zoe Saldana pulls it off perfectly. Casual and effortless.

Uma Thurman in Versace. ‘Midnight in Paris’ premiere.
Loving this look so so much. The white looks amazing on Uma. The thigh high slit is not too much either.
She added emerald green Chopard earrings to really compliment the white dress.

Gotta show the open back!

Bar Refaeli in Roberto Cavalli. ‘The Beaver’ premiere.
Someone sure looks hot! Leo DiCaprio’s ex rocks this hot number by Roberto Cavalli. Even with long sleeves and the dark navy color, she still hits a homerun with this look.

Back cutouts to turn up the heat.

Met Gala 2011 — Hits && Misses.

Last night was the 63rd annual Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC. Also known as the Met Gala for short, this event always boasts exciting themes and feels like the Oscars of the fashion world. The event this year was the kick-off to the new exhibit honoring the late Alexander “Lee” Mcqueen. We’ve been talking about McQueen all weekend since Kate Middleton married Prince William in a gown designed by Sarah Burton, the new creative director for the line. The exhibition celebrates Mcqueen’s work from 1992 at Central Saint Martins to his final runway collection presented after his death last February. Alexander Mcqueen: Savage Beauty will be on display at the Met until July 31st.

There were so many great looks, I wish I could show them all.
Here are my top hits and misses of the night.

Hit. Zoe Saldaña.
[in Calvin Klein]
On a night when most people were going for over-the-top, Zoe went simple and couldn’t be more perfect. Her sorbet dress is refreshing amongst the sea of crazy. (you’ll see below)

Miss. Rihanna.
[in Stella McCartney]
Surprise, surprise…I’m not feeling Rihanna’s look. I like the hair and earrings…just change the dress.

Hit. Diane Kruger.
[in Jason Wu]
When is Diane ever a miss on the red carpet? Never.
That leg she’s giving is so fierce and I love the red lip with the hair swept to the side.

MISS. Andre Leon Talley.
[in a huge purple cape]
I don’t really have any words. I love ALT as much as the next but no….

Hit. Ginnifer Goodwin.
[in Topshop]
Who knew Topshop looked so good?? I love color and silhouette of this dress.
Ginnifer is working it though with her hair, accessories, and makeup.
I love the shoes.!

Miss. Fergie.
[in Marchesa]
Not sure what look Fergie is going for here…but it’s not working.
The color and the fit are really killing this look.

Hit. Ashley Olsen.
[in vintage Christian Dior Haute Couture]
Didn’t see Ashley’s arrival picture until today and it couldn’t be better.
This vintage Dior is so stunning on her.

Miss. Chrissy Teigen.
[in Chris March from Project Runway]
Not sure why John Legend would let his girlfriend go out in this…I think this is a fail on so many levels.
