Fashion Moments: Colours of Cannes

Inspired by the 2012 Cannes Festival jury on closing night...

I've chosen my favorite looks from the French film festival in the four colour categories of black, white, red & metallic sparkle...

Best black:

Indian actress Freida Pinto wore a really pretty deco-influenced sheer beaded Versace to the opening dinner (but I think it would've looked better with a sandal)

Getty
Some might think it's plain, but I like the clean lines and 1940's ruching details on this dress worn by actor Alec Baldwin's fiancée Hilaria Thomas - I don't know who made it, but it's timelessly chic, and I'd love to wear it.  Wonder if they eloped after the festival as planned?

Scottish actor Ewan McGregor cut a sharp figure with spiky do, shades and a houndstooth tie at an afternoon photocall

Czech model Karolina Kurkova in a pailletted Roberto Cavalli mermaid gown from the collection that I wrote about here

*[Note: Here we take a moment to throw some love to three iconoclasts who keep things interesting!]*

Talented British actress Tilda Swinton chose to gender bend in this sleek & slouchy tux from Haider Ackermann at the opening night dinner.

Veteran French fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier brought some fun with his trademark man-skirt. (see top photo as well)

Ewan McGregor also got in on the act with his tux and boots at the winners' dinner.  So rock and roll, I love it!  Not everyone could pull this off, but he killed it.  (And his wife, Eve Mavrakis looked lovely in tea length black too.) 

Best white:

Here's a closer look at the amazing white/silver art deco number worn by Palestinian actress/director/jury member Hiam Abbass - I would really love to know who made it! 
(She's here with fellow jurors L-R Nanni Moretti, Raoul Peck, Ewan McGregor and the inspiring Diane Kruger who I wrote about here)


Best red:

Super tall model Natasha Poly wore a smokin' Roberto Cavalli in (her native) Russian red

Aussie singer Kylie Minogue rocked an Emilio Pucci with cool cut-outs to the amfAR gala



Andrew K Walker
American actress Kristen Stewart's scarlet Reem Acra was pretty at the Cosmopolis premiere, but I really love Brit actor Tom Sturridge's leather tux lapels!

American actress Juliana Margulies was sexy modern simplicity in Reed Krakoff at the Cosmopolis premiere - I like the strip of darker red on the side & her gold accents

Aussie actress Nicole Kidman in a soft asymmetrical, pleated Lanvin with crystal studded strap (which means no jewelry needed) at the Paperboy premiere




And satisfying that magpie desire for sparkle, we happily get several heavenly gold and silver stunners:

Starting with the lovely American actress Jessica Chastain at the Lawless premiere...

How amazing did legend Jane Fonda look in shimmery Atelier Versace?  This woman is 74!

Romanian-German actress Alexandra Maria Lara in sweet and diaphanous Elie Saab Couture at the On the Road premiere

Getty
Ukranian model-actress Milla Jovovich rocked a fun and futuristic Atelier Versace with metallic accents to the amfAR gala (Very suitable for the former Fifth Element, no?)
