Festival de Cannes 2013

When I think of the Festival de Cannes I think Fashion Week because celebrities have 12 days to show off so many styles on the red carpet and satellite events it feels like an endless runway. From May 15th to May 26th, it was a fashion decadence in France! Oo la la!

Nicole Kidman stood out and was the most fashionable Jury Member at the festival.

From Armani, Chanel, Valentino to Dior (clockwise) I was delightfully dizzy. In her versatility, Nicole Kidman looked statuesque, modern and Old-Hollywood glamorous. I also fell in love with not so simple Alexander McQueen  LBD despite a questionable choice of shoes.                                                                          

Don't get me wrong, I still managed to be impressed by so many other gowns...

Carey Mulligan was on trend in a modern black and white Vionnet gown (left). She gracefully stood out in a Dior Haute Couture gown among a crowd fretting with umbrellas as shown in this great photo by Anne-Christine Poujoulat/AFP/Getty Images.

White was dominating the Festival and I must say the French did it again! Yes, I believe Audrey Tautou had the best white gown by up-and-coming designer Yiqing Yin. Her gown named “Absinthe”, was an intricate cascade of organza and chiffon of pleated silk.
