61st Cannes Film Festival Red Carpet Fashion - Blindness Premiere

Bar Rafaeli

Bar Rafaeli in an Alberta Ferreti Dress at the 61st Cannes Film Festival 2008

Bar Rafaeli looks stunning wearing Alberta Ferreti. But would you expect anything less from a supermodel like her?

Bar sure knows how to strike that sexy over-the-shoulder pose. Leo must be a lucky man.

Rating: ★★★★☆

Cate Blanchett

Cate Blanchett was the epitome of glamour in this blush ruffled silk gown accessorized with Chopard gems.

No one could live up to Cate’s perfection, she was by far the best dressed on the red carpet making the rest of the ladies look like absolute fashion rookies. totally deserved. ♥ ♥ ♥

Rating: ★★★★★

Devon Aoki

Devon Aoki is also wearing Alberta Ferretti. The ombré silver sequined strapless dress looks great, but Devon somehow does not wear it with the confidence needed to pull it off.

The hair is another no-no for me, that hairdo is so pageant/prom cliché.

Rating: ★★½☆☆

Eva Longoria

Eva Longoria looks flawless as usual wearing a gorgeous azure dress which she complimented with Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry.

I love the dress and the color is simply stunning, but I don’t think the dress works towards Eva’s body type. I prefer seeing Eva in cocktail-type frocks.

Rating: ★★★½☆

Julianne Moore

Blindness actress Julianne Moore went for big drama in a canary yellow gown. Unfortunately, the risk didn’t pay off. There’s too much going on on the dress. The black and yellow feathered detail is the worst thing about it. It reminds me of stuffed animals being pinned to her shoulders.

But to be fair, I think no one could’ve done that dress justice. At least not on the red carpet. This dress was made for catwalks and editorial photoshoots.

Julianne’s accessories however were exquisite. The actress finalized her risqué ensemble with a black Bottega Veneta knot clutch and beautiful Chopard diamonds.

Rating: ★½☆☆☆

Mischa Barton

Mischa Barton walked the red carpet in a midnight blue gown and a Chopard diamond necklace. The one-shouldered dress was a decent choice, but nothing overly spectacular.

Rating: ★★★☆☆

Natalie Portman

Natalie Portman was a serious breath-taker in her purple ruffled cocktail dress. She accessorized her dress with diamonds from Tiffany & Co, a black belt, round black patent pumps, a black XL clutch and black nail polish.

I’m not too fond of the dress per se, but I am totally smitten with the striking color and Natalie just pulls it off with her radiating beauty. Plus, I’m loving her hair ♥

Red Carpet Watch - Rihanna ♥ Hervé Léger

Rihanna - Hervé Léger Bandage Dresses

If you couldn’t tell by now, Rihanna is what you call a dedicated Hervé Léger fan addict.

December 04, 2006 - 2006 Billboard LG After Party

Her love for the curve hugging bandage-type dresses began when she stunned everyone in a strapless metallic grey micro mini at the 2006 Billboard LG After Party back in December 2006. Ever since Rihanna decided to regularly come back to wearing the ultra sexy dresses on the red carpet.

Rating: ★★★☆☆

February 10, 2007 - Clive Davis Pre-Grammy Party

Two months later, Rihanna found it was time again for a new Hervé Léger getup and went with a cleavage heavy pale pink mini dress to hit the red carpet of Clive Davis’ Pre-Grammy Party in February 2007.

Rating: ★★★☆☆

June 08, 2007 - Venus Breeze “Celebrity Legs of a Goddess” Presentation

Rihanna revived her love for body con dresses when she was chosen to have “celebrity legs of a goddess” in June 2007. The electric blue body-hugging skirt Rihanna wore at the event perfectly complimented her feminine silhouette.

Rating: ★★★½☆

June 27, 2007 - BET Awards 2007

The 2007 BET Awards came and so did Rihanna - dressed up in a white vintage Hervé Léger frock which is my personal favorite yet. She was a pleasure to look at and totally rocked the red carpet being clearly the best dressed at the show.

Rating: ★★★★½

June 27, 2007 - Jermaine Dupri’s BET Awards After Party

Rihanna was still in HL mood when she later changed into a black halter dress for Jermaine Dupri’s BET Awards After Party. To make her outfit edgier, Rihanna paired her black ensemble with a pair of neon yellow pointy pumps.

Rating: ★★½☆☆

Sexy Lady in Red - Cameron Diaz in Zac Posen

This fabulous week ends with Cameron Diaz being awarded the “Sexy Lady in Red“-Award by wearing a red knit body con Zac Posen dress, black patent stilettos and a pair of enviable long legs to the Los Angeles premiere of her latest movie What Happens in Vegas starring alongside Ashton Kutcher.

Love the oversized bow detail and the stilettos! Cameron sure knows how to work that sexy outfit. She’s gorgeous, isn’t she?

Red Carpet Gold Star - Keira Knightley in Valentino

I know it’s been really quiet here lately. We’ve been doing a lot of offline stuff, but we never forgot about our fashion blog baby, so this post will be the birth of a new category here on Profashionelle: the Red Carpet Gold Star. An award given to those who managed to stand out on the red carpet, making us remember their dresses & appearances even after years.

Such is what British actress Keira Knightley managed to do when she stunned everyone in a beautiful white sleek column Valentino dress and a pair of amazing vintage Cartier earrings to the 63rd Golden Globe Awards in 2006. And frankly, isn’t this dress one of the most beautiful dresses you’ve ever seen? I happen to think so and love everything about it (shape, color and the gorgeous flower-shaped belt, of course).

This dress is one of my favourite red carpet pieces of all time. But it’s not just the dress that’s close to heavenly perfection - it’s Keira wearing it with such grace and elegance. She just oozes glamour. Dress, hair, make up, accessoires - she’s a perfect ten here. Oh my God, I could be staring at these pictures for hours.

Rating: ★★★★★

P.S.: If you’re looking for a look-for-less alternative to Keira’s Valentino dress, there’s an affordable copycat version availabe over at FAVIANA. Nowhere near the original, but a good choice for fashionistas on a budget.
