Cannes Film Festival

Rating: ★★★★½

Finally! The 62nd International Cannes Film Festival 2009 has begun. The Cannes Film Festival is one of the most important red carpet events of the year (feels like the European Oscars). It’s the place where couture gowns are the order of the day. I’m so excited to see who’s going to wear whom and I secretly hope to see someone (Cate, are you with me?) rocking some of the spectacular Christian Dior Spring 2009 couture gowns (♥ ♥ ♥).

For the opening ceremony, it were Shu Qi and Asia Argento who impressed me the most with their dresses. Shu Qi wore a beautiful, flowy teal Valentino Roberto Cavalli strapless gown while Asia settled for a floral printed Armani Privé. And the shoes were just as stunning as the gowns. Shu Qi opted for Giuseppe Zanotti (?!) rosette stilettos and Asia went for the black lace-up runway platforms which are also absolutely to die for. I couldn’t decide on whom I liked more, so I chose both!

Bar Rafaeli

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.

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. ♥ ♥ ♥

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 ♥
