2000

I am just positive that Donna Martin designed this.

2002 in Armani, with Clotilde Courau

Marion needs a hoik and a better hairdo.

2002 in Armani

This is the same night, and she's changed into a jumpsuit that looks like an artist's rendering of wedding linens.

2004

This is very Banana Republic for Cannes.

2004

At least she went for it with the shoes.

2004

This is a slightly better version of that first black Armani. What I'm learning in this slideshow is that I prefer her so much as a brunette.

Well, most of the time. THIS is like an homage to Wino Forever's character in Beetlejuice.

2007

Dear God, no, Marion. Your fairy godmother is not paying attention.

2007

She really liked artistic hair and that VERY long necklace.

2010

I assume Kristen Stewart has this framed in her closet.

2010

This looks like the tangle of sheets when you pull one out of the dryer and ALL of them come with it.

2012 in Dior

This is mostly cute, but looks like she flipped up her peplum and stapled it to her armpits.

2012 in Dior

Sometimes, people get cold, so they have to throw on a coat or a jacket or blazer over their fancy gown and it's not always going to work but it's functional so you just deal with it. This dress is like the DELIBERATE version of that effect.

2013

Whereas this is a COOL version of that effect.

2013

I guess there comes a time in every bedsheet's life when it turns into a static-cling shitfest.

2013

She looks fab here, even with the boring shoes. The color of the dress is good enough on its own, but...

2013

... there is surprise backside sparkle.

2013 in Dior

This seems boring, but reasonable, from the front angle.

2013

SURPRISE! It's dumb.

2013

Oh, but I do love this.

2013

You know Marion is one celebrity who has never gunned for the stairs shot. I do appreciate this one overhead, though. 

2014 in Margiela

Her innate coolness helps her with this cocoon, but the shoes look like she broke both her ankles.

2014

And, another surprise.

2014 in Dior

That's graceful and dreamy. 

2014 in Margiela

And that is PEPPY. I would, personally, like another three inches and a less twee hairdo (the one curl on the left gets a bit lost in the crowd, but once you notice it... it's goofy).

2014 in McQueen

I am not wild about the turtleneck on her, and I don't know if she is either.

2015

Oooooh. Yes. This is slick.

2015 in Gaultier

The color is a fun change on her, but

2015 in Ulyana Sergeenko

"What do you mean? Of COURSE my pants are tied around my ankles. How ELSE do I keep the leg elves trapped up there?"

2016

VERY trippy. I assume it took her three days to put on and take off those pants.

2016 in Dior

That lipstick is perfect with the sparkling gold column.

2016

And it has a sexy back. She really does love an exciting backside surprise.

2016 in Dior

Sure, okay.

2016 in JW Anderson

I assume the inspiration for this was, "Teachers who will slap your open palm with a ruler."

2016 in Dior

Dior definitely gave her preferential treatment.

2016 in Filles a Papa

Eh.

2017 in Armani

This is so like the Dior from a few slides ago, but more ritzy.

2017 in Chanel

Crazy tunic, plastic shoes... she had a baby two months prior and I'm going to assume she wanted ONE non-restrictive waist and was too tired to care about shoes.

2017 in Gaultier

Like, imagine having to put this on EVER, frankly, much less two months postpartum. She looks great in it, though. And it's a perfect visual example of why people bother with the thick platforms: If she didn't have them on, the dress would bunch on the floor. As it is, it hangs crisply and perfectly. So in lieu of a hemming, you can solve it with shoes.

2017

That is one hell of a Dynasty top.

2017 in Halpern

THIS, though. It's actually a jumpsuit. But this was her first year NOT on a Dior contract, and she really uncorked with this one. I can't believe she didn't pull it out for a Stairs Moment. It's a stunner.

2017 in Y Project

This is its exact opposite.

2018 in Adam Selman

She is making hotpants and a picnic blanket look SO GOOD.

Capturing the reflection of her dress pattern in her glasses is just brilliant photography.

Fan Bingbing, Marion Cotillard, Jessica Chastain, Penelope Cruz and Lupita Nyong'o

They went to Cannes and threw photo ops for a project they wanted to sell, which is not usual; I wonder if it will ever get made. Lupita and Marion seem to be the only ones that got the same memo on what to wear.

2018

Sandy from Grease didn't know how cool she COULD have looked.

2018 in Valentino

This is depressing. That necklace also deserved better. 

2018 in Armani

And this is just odd. Those run-of-the-mill office shoes are not lending this the glamour it needs.

2018 in Chanel

2018 in Guy Laroche

 BUT THEN.

2019 in Balmain

 AND THEN THE NEXT YEAR. It's like she wondered how she could turn that aesthetic into something closer to "Eccentric Personal Trainer."

2019 in Chanel

2019 in AWAKE

 But, she did pull this out also. It's more straightfoward, sure, but I like it. She's giving me the faintest Angelina Jolie vibe here. Is it the hair?
 

Say Bonjour to Marion Cannes-tillard

There are some ITEMS in here.
