cannes red carpet kick off 2011

The kick off of Cannes Film Festival fashion to me appeared hit and miss. The classic dresses completely being the hit in my eyes whilst the trend led ones were bizarre and often more of a miss, surprisingly.



The strapless Gucci Couture collection dress that Salma Hayek donned was stunning. The simple shape and design the hugged to her figure perfectly emphasised her natural beauty. The champagne, grey colour suited Salama's skin tone and proved how the colour blocking trend may very much be in fashion but classic is classic for a reason. Without being too boring, the pleated train of the gown gave enough of an up to date feel without being too OTT. Bang on and a yay, for me!



Whilst Rachel McAdams for me is the epitome of gorgeousness and the same goes for Marchesa (who ideally I would love to have design my wedding dress if a) i'm rich enough when the day arrives and b) the day ever arrives!) this red lace gown that she wore just, personally, did not tick the boxes Usually I go gaga over Marchesa's flowy fabrics that exhume grecian goddess glamour however this was just a big no no even if being lace and bang on trend bright colour. Surely celeb folk would have learnt from the Rihanna faux pas at the MET ball a couple of weeks ago, and if not them at least their stylists. Obviously not!
