Elisabeth Moss in Alaia HE'S A TOTALLY IMPORTANT DESIGNER! Anyway, this is cute -- on point for a photocall, surely -- but the real star, to me, are the coordinating but not matching shoes. Karla Welch is Elisabeth's stylist and she sincerely knows what she is doing. Elisabeth

in Gucci I mean. She OWNS THE COMPANY, essentially, aAnd yet she looks like Cookie Lyon when Empire started: a woman who'd been in prison for so long, she forgot what clothes should look like and how to use them. in Gucci again I mean... okay? This might

Marion in Halpern Marion wore a LOT of crazy-ass Dior stuff, but I don't remember a time when any of it made her look like a queen. THIS is a queen, and I think ... yeah, it's possible I'd never even HEARD of "

Isabelle Huppert Great hair, great sunglasses, great lip, great jewelry, great mani. I barely even care what she's wearing. Isabelle Huppert But, for what it's worth, although I am not a fan of the return of the effed-up hem on jeans like these -- especially with

Nicole Kidman in Christian Dior I love Nicole and this is so much better than the last thing she wore at Cannes. It's like if a beautiful Rose Parade float turned into an equally beautiful dress, and her green metallic shoes? I WANT. Nicole Kidman in Calvin Klein

in Haider Ackermann This is the sort of marvelously intergalactic-looking ensemble that makes me yearn for a Star Wars movie in which SWINTON is revealed to be Princess Leia's lost protege. She could go up against Gwen Christie's Captain Phasma in a dark/light battle

Kendall in Giambattista Valli This dress is pretty silly. But at the same time, it's also weirdly perfect for Cannes, isn't it? There's fluffy sleeves, a marathon of a train, a lot of leg, a giant bow... it pretty much meets all the criteria

in Rodarte Honestly, I would have pegged this as Gucci; it reminded me of several of their things. But no. It's the Mulleavy sisters. It DOES feel very right for Nicole Kidman, but at the same time, it's a bit like a clown with big aspirations

In Adam Selman This is what happens when your mother promises to make the costumes for the school play, then forgets to learn to sew until the night before they're due. in Dior Dior and Rihanna are a REALLY weird match -- but, Dior apparently just parted ways with

This is a tricky one. On the whole, I enjoy it, even if she looks like a very beautiful butler's pull. But it's REALLY toeing that line between "fitted" and "lung-punching." Also: Any longer and the fringe might look dopey, but

in Michael Cinco This is AMAZING. She looks like the Disney Princess that should exist, but doesn't yet -- and I don't mean that in an overly precious way, either. She just really does look like what many little girls dream of when they close their eyes

Cara D in Moschino When in France, I suppose. Cara D Somehow, this is less hammy to me than her walking around in a beret that says "ANARCHY." Maybe in part because I feel like any real anarchist isn't interested in the order and routine of

in Y/Project This says, "Screw it. I just had a baby. I'm wearing jeans and t-shirt." Except, naturally, Marion Cotillard's version of "jeans and a t-shirt" is a gigantic cotton caftan and jeans made of the butchered remains of

In Givenchy Well. Okay. I might have guessed Marchesa, honestly. This is... I fully expected to eyeroll it, but I actually think parts of it are really striking, especially on this stage. Cannes is one of the few events outside the Met where people can get a little outlandish and

Jessica Chastain in McQueen The way the pattern hugs her on this one reminds me of her 2012 Oscar dress, also a McQueen. And when you look at it here, you think, "Oh, well, this is going to be a colorful festival of joy and we're all
