Penelope Cruz in Vintage Chanel Dear Karl: As usual, you have an interesting fabric that you have turned into something semi-cockamamie. I'm not sure the way this chops her up would do ANYONE many favors. 'Everybody Knows' premiere and opening ceremony, 71st Cannes Film Festival,

Cate in Stella McCartney We begin with the jury president herself, in a Stella suit that's pulling and squabbling with itself all over the place, and finished with shoes that might as well not be there. This is... a bummer. What are May daytime Cannes photocalls, if not

in Jason Wu This may surprise you, but: I like this. To me, that is a great example of a dress that plays on transparency in a way that is delicate and artful, and also clearly not in danger of showing us anything (or even of actually BEING transparent). All

in Zuhair Murad One bit of language we're seeing more now is "customized" to acknowledge that a garment is an adaptation based on a runway look -- which falls somewhere between "I like this but can you just line it" and "Make me something

Michelle Williams This is the happiest she's looked in ages, too. IS IT THE SUNGLASSES? Rihanna There is a vague Max Headroom vibe to this that makes me want Rihanna to star in a program where she languidly introduces us to new musical acts while modeling a variety

I MEAN. She looks clean and chic and as if someone is about to take her to a polo match. This is something a normal human would wear, not even Better By Lindsay's Standards At Least. When was the last time THAT happened? She doesn't seem

Bella Hadid in Ralph & Russo Okay, well, let's start with a compliment. This is a very beautifully made garment. It's meticulous and ethereal. It fits her like a dream. If she were on a runway, sure. But she's not, and that's

Diane Kruger in McQueen Too much is happening here. We have wide-legged pants AND a dress with asymmetry AND cutouts that look like maybe a sea creature is giving her the Heimlich AND an explosion on her chest AND a bunch of keys and some scissors. I keep wondering

Julianne Moore (Chanel) and Lily Collins (Prabal Gurung) Lily's dress was originally shown with beige underpants, so I guess we can at least be thankful we don't need to STUDY her groin. But it's still a ridiculous dress that would be vastly improved by

Fan Bingbing in Valentino Couture Somehow this is both GLORIOUS and also like two red bath towels attached at the upper arm to make a gown. She looks spectacular. Liu Wen in custom Givenchy ALSO fab.  Elisabeth Moss in Prabal Gurung I need to accept that I hate this color

"The Beguiled" Premiere Elle is really feeling herself here, and rightly. She looks fantastic. Sofia is wearing Chanel, obviously, and she looks very chic and professional. The two women at the end are Angourie Rice and Addison Riecke, who look charming as well. Basically, everyone at this premiere

70th Anniversary Red Carpet Arrivals - The 70th Annual Cannes Film Festival I'm conflicted over some of the darts on this, but generally, this is pretty damned glamorous on her. It's VERY Major Movie Star, and it fits her better than many of other other recent dresses

Marion Cotillard in Armani Another winner for Marion. I don't know why the shoes have to ruin it, but honestly, I'm just not going to look down there. I choose to pretend this photo stops before her ankles. SWINTON in Chanel I'll allow it,

Nicole Kidman in Armani I love this, and would never have pegged it as Armani. I don't know why. It has more of a Valentino feel to it, to me. Regardless, she is glowing in it.  Expertly wrangled here. I mean, maybe it IS just as simple as
