I couldn't decide, so I decided to give you both of them. I like to keep Fug Nation as informed as possible. ## Jessica Chastain ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2012/05/wenn5845742.jpg) This is ALSO really cute and flattering. I'm not sure how she manages to look like she's genuinely thrilled to be everywhere after what must've been an exhausting year, but she should write a book about it and send it to people who act like the press that's part of their paychecks is like a root canal. ## Jessica Chastain ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2012/05/wenn5845741.jpg) And LOOK AT HER SKIN. I would need to nap for a thousand years to look that good. ## Jessica Chastain ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2012/05/spl395401_012.jpg) She had a cute, swingy coat, too, and you know how we GFY ladies covet a coat. ## Jessica Chastain ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2012/05/wenn5845466.jpg) This isn't my absolute favorite, maybe. I don't dislike it, though, and the hair and makeup are the right choice for something that has such an Old Movie vibe to it. But what I DO love is that it looks like David Schwimmer is in the middle of wolf-whistling at her. Sometimes I think maybe I didn't appreciate the Schwim while we had him. His work as Ross mostly holds up, and despite being distracting in *Band of Brothers* on first viewing, he was actually really, really good in it. Oh, Schwim. Come back to us. ## Jessica Chastain ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2012/05/wenn3889956.jpg) The pattern is loud, or at least very chatty. But the hair and makeup are great with it and go a long way toward selling it; what's tripping me up is the shoe. They seem like they are trying SO HARD to be inoffensive and unnoticeable that in fact they become the loudest thing of all. ## Jessica Chastain ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2012/05/144722605.jpg) This is my least favorite of all the ensembles, I think -- she's at a daytime photocall for an animated movie (*Madagascar 3: Sure, Why Not*) so I suspect it's supposed to seem youthful and flirty, but instead there's something a bit Betsey Johnson for Victoria's Secret about it. ## Jessica Chastain ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2012/05/144695655.jpg) This is the sleeker version of [what she wore to this exact party last year](https://gofugyourself.com/fug-or-fab-jessica-chastain-05-2011/calvin-klein-event-64th-annual-cannes-film-festival?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). Although where last year the shoes made her feet seem huge, these make them seem sort of stunted. I like it, though. It's clean, relaxing. A punchy hue. Exactly what Calvin Klein does best. ## Jessica Chastain and Pacey and the Krugs ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2012/05/144695528.jpg) Ostensibly I put this here to show that Chastain's dress looks a slightly different color in brighter light, so as to be truly informative for you. But let's face it: This is for the Krugceyphiles. [Cannes Well Played (Mostly): Jessica ChastainIt was this time a year ago that we did a slideshow that was basically like, "I don't know what a 'Jessica Chastain' is, but she is the meat in a Pitt-Penn sandwich." I am trying to think of the last time someone has gone from an afterthought in a Met Ball slideshow to one of the most watched and couture-clad actresses in town, to the point where we've featured her so much that I am not sure what words to write down and in what order. Basically, I'm just treading water until I can make a hacky "Chastaintity belt" joke; luckily for all of us, that day is not today. \[Photos: Getty, WENN, FameFlynet, Splash\]![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/bf/b9/bfb99790-924d-4e41-a7e6-5e3c6e04fe57/content/images/static-gofugyourself-com/uploads/2012/05/ffn_chp_lawless_party_051912_9103570.jpg)](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/cannes-well-played-mostly-jessica-chastain-05-2012/)
