Araya A. Hargate in Ralph and Russo
This is SUCH the quintessential Cannes gown. Huge, ruffled, attention-grabbing, AMAZING. I don't even know if you could wear it anywhere else -- the Met Gala, if it fit the theme, perhaps, but that's about it.
Caitriona Balfe in Louis Vuitton
Cannes is one of those places where I look at this and think, "this almost feels UNDERSTATED," although, empirically, it is not. More than anything, though, I really like her hair like this.
Bella Hadid in Cavalli
This just makes me laugh. She looks like she's checking to make sure she remembered her wallet. The dress is lovely, actually, but do we think the necklace -- which is gorgeous, and surely worth a fortune -- is fighting with the neckline? DISCUSS.
Susan Sarandon
I mean, this works for her.
Melissa George
This dude, Jean-David Blanc, is Melissa's boyfriend, not some random French man who seemed jovial when she came across him on the red carpet. She JUST had a baby and this is certainly one of her more reasonable looks.
Lily Donaldson in Saint Laurent
I sort of wish the Boob Straps were a little wider?
Hofit Golan in Jean Fares Couture
You guys. We've already seen this dress, except executed by another designer. BUT WHO? It's driving me bonkers.
Gong Li in Cavalli
This photo is great. "HELLO, CANNES! I AM HERE!"
Mallika Sherawat in Georges Hobeika Couture
This seems like 10% Too Much, but we're in Cannes. EVERYTHING in Cannes is 10% too much.
Eva Longoria in Pamella Rolland
Somewhere, Kim Kardashian is wondering what happened to that top.
Gianna Simone in Naeem Khan
Gianna is an actress who hasn't really been in anything major. OTHER THAN THIS DRESS.
Frédérique Bel in Zuhair Murad
This is delightful, and I love the bag. Obviously.
Zhao Tao
This feels vaguely tapestry-adjacent. Not in a bad way!
Doutzen Kroes in Brandon Maxwell
I don't hate this. But the top of it DOES look like a butterflied sunglasses case.
Victoria Beckham in Victoria Beckham
Posh, your pants are too long! Or something. SOMETHING is happening with your trousers.
Li Bingbing in Stephane Rolland
And, finally, this is perfectly lovely from the front, and..
Li Bingbing in Stephane Rolland
...better from the back.
