Renate Reinsve in Louis Vuitton

If I learned anything about Renate this awards season, it's that she LOVES this expanse of abs. Quite rightly; it's great. But whereas her post-party dress is boring as hell to me, this version feels rocker-chic in a way that really suits her. Shiny silver pants just WORK. Not on me, I suspect... But now I want to try.

Marco Perego-Saldaña and Zoe Saldaña

So, Marco co-produced Fjord, Paper Tiger, and Minotaur, and they went HARD on the press. People had a story about him being the first producer to have three films there, Deadline wrote about his "artists' haven," and THR did a bit about how he's an outsider taking Cannes by storm. Hello? He's married to an Oscar-winning star of both Avatar and Marvel AND Star Trek franchises. This man is not an outsider! But congrats to him. It's just interesting to see the focus shift in action.

Zoe in Chanel

Zoe's Chanel is much prettier to me from the back. The pockets in the front give it a weird line, especially with her hands jammed in them. Or actually it might be that they overemphasize the dropped waist, which I don't love.

SWINTON in Chanel

If anyone can make an oddball Chanel wine bag work, it's this woman. Separately, I hope someone refers to ME as an Oddball Wine Bag someday.

Sofia Carson

She seems to be trying to evoke Audrey here. (We already have Lily Collins and Thomasin McKenzie doing this, and Sofia is... not a good actress, so let's not give anyone any ideas.)

This Reptilian pile of bling looks HEAVY. She certainly built the right outfit around it; they stand out against its simplicity.

Geena Davis

That's FANTASTIC. Wow.

Lena Mahfouf

It's pretty, but it's too tight on her chest. I also don't think I'd have paired sapphires with it.

Eva Longoria

Thank you for this shiny sunbeam of a frock, Eva.

Eva Longoria

This is quite pretty, too, if a bit bridal. But I have an admittedly hard time separating that notion from white gowns. I think it's because a wedding is the only context in which a white gown seems like a nice idea to me. There is so much else out there.

Gillian Anderson

Neat. It's like a beautiful gigantic ear.

Penelope Cruz in archival Georges Chakra

A nice break from Chanel for her! I like the feathery bodice.

Isabelle Huppert in Loewe

She runs the most expensive convent in Europe.

Ariana Greenblatt in Miu Miu

I don't mind this on her -- it's unusually graceful work from Miu Miu, honestly -- but the collection of brooches feels too haphazard, like a necklace fell through so they just loaded her up at the last second.

Ariana Greenblatt

Or perhaps she simply cast a summoning spell and wore whatever turned up in her room.

Sofia Carson

I said she was channeling Audrey earlier, and this DEFINITELY feels like channeling Lily Collins, who just cast herself as Audrey.

Gillian Anderson

The only thing I can latch onto here is that she's carrying a bright red clutch.

Tara Reid

I'm glad to see her getting out again, a bit. It's been a long time. She looks passably like a French actress you forgot existed, who is preparing for her renaissance. I hope she spent all night convincing people this is true, by speaking in an OUTRAAAAGEOUS accent.

Thayna Soares

This is absolutely lovely.

Ana Milan

Try saying "two tutus" over and over, and you will get very slurry VERY quickly.

Roselyn Sanchez

This needed a necklace. She reminds me of Demi in here -- it's the hair I think -- and Demi would have done one.

Roselyn Sanchez

This entire dress looks like the head of a snake, ready to pounce. Cannot wait for a Met Gala theme that's just Hissssssssss. Do I have an inspirational movie for them.

Maika Monroe

She is there for "Victorian Psycho," and this IS crazy, so points for the theme.

Penelope Cruz

This all feels a bit White House, Black Market.

Marion Cotillard

One or the other, but not both. That skirt would be fabulous with a crisp white blouse.

Hoyeon Jung

Never a huge belly button person, but this is so chill and summery and she looks like she walked out of a catalog.

Taylor Russell

This could not be a more different vibe. And hilariously, they were on the same day, because they're in the same movie. I don't dislike this but it does feel like a red carpet gown that they hoped sunglasses would dress down.

Maika Monroe

No to the hair, no to the dress, but is it just me or does she resemble Cathy Moriarty suddenly?

Isabelle Huppert

Chipper pattern-mixing from someone who LOVES a fierce monochrome! It's a fun miracle.

Arisa Sasaki

But of course we had a mermaid. Why NOT.

Laura Dern

And this is not Laura Dern at Cannes; this is Laura Dern filming The White Lotus at Cannes. I wonder if the template is still Helena Bonham Carter's character, or if they completely reimagined it? But she looks great. I'm ready.
