This was her first Cannes, and while it does seem like things have only gotten bigger and bigger, a knit slip dress feels almost woefully understated...

... but at least she had the surprise rearviw factor in play. But this still feels like the thing you wear to dance at your (swanky) backyard wedding reception.

Amusingly, Eva has told the story of this dress as if it were at the 2005 festival -- her first -- but she's at the Pan's Labyrinth premiere, and that was 2006. Sorry, Eva. Anyway, apparently she was there without her stylist's detailed directions, because she wore this backward and didn't know until later.

'Kung Fu Panda' film premiere at the 61st Cannes Film Festival, Cannes, France - 15 May 2008
'Kung Fu Panda' premiered tonight, 15th May at Cannes. The animated film boasts Jack Black as the voice of Po the panda, who works in his family's noodle shop and dreams of becoming a kung-fu master. His dream becomes a reality when, unexpectedly, he must fulfill an ancient prophecy and study the skills with his idols, the Furious Five. Po needs all the wisdom, strength and ability he can muster to protect his people from an evil snow leopard. The film also features the voices of Dustin Hoffman, Angelina Jolie, Jackie Chan, Lucy Liu and Ian McShane.https://www.kungfupanda.com/
NOW she's getting into the Cannes-do spirit. Swing big, sweet child! That thing feels like a wedding dress inspired by the moment in The Little Mermaid when Ariel reprises "Part of Your World" and the surf crashes up onto the rock where she's lying.

'Blindness' film premiere at the 61st Cannes Film Festival, Cannes, France - 14 May 2008
'Blindness' premiered today at the Cannes Film Festival. Based on a novel by Nobel Prize winner Jose Saramago and starring Julianne Moore, Alice Braga and Mark Ruffalo, the story centres on a town where everyone is struck with a mysterious case of sudden blindness. A doctor's wife (Julianne Moore) becomes the only person left with the ability to see. She feigns illness in order to take care of her husband (Mark Ruffalo) as her surrounding community breaks down into chaos and disorder. https://www.blindness-themovie.com/
Great color, but it confuses me when gowns that aren't see-through still try SO HARD to redirect your vision to the crotch region.

'Bright Star' film premiere at the 62nd Cannes Film Festival, Cannes, France - 16 May 2009
Bright Star is the latest release from British film director Jane Campion (In The Cut, The Piano) and has been entered into the main competition at this years 62nd Cannes Film Festival. Based on the last three years of 19th Century English poet John Keats, the film stars Britains Ben Wishaw (Perfume, Criminal Justice) as the protagonist and Australias Abbie Cornish (Somersault) as his muse, Fanny Brawne. It follows his three-year secret love affair with the girl that lived next door to him, curtailed by his premature death at the age of just 25. The title refers to one of Keatss sonnets, written when he was with Brawne. Co-stars include Kerry Fox, Paul Schneider and Thomas Sangster.
This fabric is funky, but the dress itself looks kind of stuff and unforgiving, and the train, like a duvet folded for display at Bed Bath.

What is even happening. There was a period where she showed up a lot in large dark gowns and we started calling her The Widow Longoria -- so much time has passed that I don't even know exactly when that started, or with which large dress -- but this feels like The Widow Longoria got real bored with her sewing machine and started to play.

Sigh. I think a lot about our untentional Lasts. This is now the last thing she wore at Cannes, for God knows how long, and it seems a bit baggy AND she accidentally moisturized her legs with furniture polish. Hopefully 2021 will bring something to wash away the taste.
