Welcome to the south of France, motherfuckers. 

KIRSTEN DUNST at the Opening Ceremony
gown by Gucci, jewelry by Chopard

I love this so hard it hurts. Welcome to spring, bitches!

A devastatingly gorgeous Cannes daytime look.

ANNA KENDRICK at the Opening Ceremony
gown by Stella McCartney

I often say that the best fashion of the year, every year, comes out of Cannes. Anna Kendrick clearly agrees. This color is a work of art on her, and the dress is making a 5’2″ woman look positively statuesque. Sign me up.

It’s cute, but the purse is a little awkward, and she’s being completely upstaged by the fierce ladies in the bright colors behind her.

JULIANNE MOORE at the Opening Ceremony
gown by Givenchy, earrings by Chopard

I’m not sure the embellished swoops combined with the cape-like sleeves really works, but Julianne Moore always turns out something that makes me raise an eyebrow. And I like that about her.

Okay, now I’m raising both eyebrows, and that’s not usually a good sign.

BELLA HADID at the Opening Ceremony
gown by Roberto Cavalli, necklace by De Grisogono

She so did not need that necklace. A delicate chain would have been fine, but the eight zillion karats just distract from the dress.

NAOMI WATTS at the Opening Ceremony
gown by Armani Privé, necklace by Bulgari

Again, a strand of jewels would have been fine, but this statement piece is so very unnecessary. Your dress is already purple, Naomi. Your jewelry doesn’t need to be Rainbow Brite.

gown by Giorgio Armani

Don’t you want to just yoink the whole thing up an inch?

JESSICA CHASTAIN at the Opening Ceremony
gown by Armani Privé, jewelry by Piaget

It’s not exactly revolutionary – I’m still convinced she’s been stuck in a style rut for what feels like a century – but it’s undeniably beautiful.

DOUTZEN KROES at the Opening Ceremony
gown by Brandon Maxwell

Gaga wore this a few months ago in black and white, and the silhouette definitely pops more when there’s a contrasting shade. But I loved the shape then, and I still like it now.

VICTORIA BECKHAM at the Opening Ceremony
top and pants by Victoria Beckham, bracelets by Chopard

Warning: you must be Victoria Beckham in order to pull this off.

CAITRIONA BALFE at the Opening Ceremony
gown by Louis Vuitton

Pretty, but not quite Cannes Opening Ceremony-levels of magnificent.

LILY DONALDSON at the Opening Ceremony
gown by Miu Miu

I’m WAY more interested in what’s happening behind Lily than what’s happening on her. Is that Alexander Wang? Is he playing a villain in an upcoming Power Rangers reboot? I have so many questions.

EVA LONGORIA at the Opening Ceremony
gown by Pamella Roland

Ill-fitting, underwhelming, and are those elbow pads? What in the actual fuck?

BLAKE LIVELY
jacket and dress by Chanel

Blake “I Don’t Need a Stylist!” Lively, proving exactly why she needs a stylist.

coat by Salvatore Ferragamo, shoes by Christian Louboutin

Meh. It’s fine, but I need more from Cannes than a hairy coat.

BLAKE LIVELY at the Opening Ceremony
gown by Atelier Versace

This is basically the only gown that’s been on the red carpet for the last two years, and I can’t look at it for another goddamn second.

KRISTEN STEWART at the Café Society photocall
top and skirt by Chanel, shoes by Christian Louboutin

Well, the hair is an obvious disaster, but I think she’s actually pulling this off. Though the mismatched whites are really grating.

Because who needs a bra when you’ve got boob-pockets?
