Welcome back to the French Riviera, where things continue to be breathtakingly glamorous. 

CATE BLANCHETT at the Cold War premiere
gown by Mary Katrantzou, jewelry by Chopard, shoes by Aquazzura

I worship this. Also, does it come in a coloring book?

NIEVES ALVAREZ at the Sorry Angel premiere
gown by Elie Saab

Gorgeous. The detailing is impeccable, and the styling feels fresh.

One of the things that makes Cannes so glam is that major jewelry brands sponsor practically half the events. The quantity and quality of mega-gems at Cannes is unmatched. Like, this gown is fine, but that diamond choker is what makes this a motherfucking LOOK. The downside of this is that you will also see stars wearing a truly stupid amount of jewelry because Chopard is paying for their dinner, or whatever. But it’s worth it, I swear.

AMBER HEARD at the Sorry Angel premiere
gown by Valentino

That droopy neckline really shouldn’t work, but somehow, it does. I think it’s the colors, the pockets, and the view from the back that really bring this whole look together.

Delicate as a goddamn ballerina, but the print is bold and fun. A delightful combination.

KRISTEN STEWART at the Vanity Fair France x Chanel dinner
dress by Chanel

I couldn’t find a full-length picture, so maybe she’s wearing fucking clogs or something. But from what I can see, I love it on her. Perfect combo of glam and sporty.

JULIANNE MOORE at the Yomeddine premiere
gown by Saint Laurent, jewelry by Chopard

The black gown with that jagged neckline is basically built to show off a statement necklace. It’s an uncommonly excellent pairing of jewels and dress.

dress by Givenchy, jewelry by Chopard

Remember the thing about wearing too much jewelry because Chopard is buying you dinner? Yeah. Diamond earrings that reach your shoulders, AND all those bracelets? With cocktail attire? She kinda pulls it off, but it’s a LOT.

SUI HE at the Sorry Angel premiere
gown by Ralph & Russo, jewelry by Chopard

The pleating on this thing is breathtaking.

LUPITA NYONG’O at the Sorry Angel premiere
gown by Christian Dior, jewelry by Chopard

I love the top, but I’m not sure how I feel about the feathered skirt.

LI YUCHUN at the Yomeddine premiere
jacket and skirt by Jean Paul Gaultier

The skirt is a work of art, but it’s really hard for me to get on board with someone wearing black stockings with white platform peep-toes.

HUMA QURESHI
suit by Nikhil Thampi, jewelry by Piaget

Fucking cool and also probably weighs twenty pounds.

LEOMIE ANDERSON at the Yomeddine premiere
gown by Twinset

Slightly too “old Western lingerie” for me. Good color, though.

KIKO MAZUR at the Yomeddine premiere
gown by Christian Dior

The chainmail-looking fabric is interesting, but those lines on the bodice look a little cheap to me.

PETRA NEMCOVA at the Sorry Angel premiere
gown by Cristina Ottaviano, jewelry by Chopard

The dress is gorgeous but predictable. The jewelry, though? Stunning.

CHLOË SEVIGNY at the Cold War premiere
dress by Chanel

I mean, it’s Chloë Sevigny. She’s sometimes going to wear giant graduation tassels, and we just kind of have to deal with it.

LÉA SEYDOUX at the Cold War premiere
dress by Louis Vuitton

That sleeve length – not quite three-quarters, not quite full-length – just makes it look like she’s wearing a child’s jacket. And the giant wide collar is just terrible.

JOSEPHINE SKRIVER at the Sorry Angel premiere
gown by Giambattista Valli, jewelry by Chopard

You can’t wear a mansion’s worth of diamonds and then not bother to do your hair. It just doesn’t work.

CAREY MULLIGAN at the Wildlife premiere
gown by Christian Dior

There was a time when I loved Carey Mulligan’s style, but it’s been minimalism to the point of nothingness for far too long. Everything from the cut to the color looks… empty.

TALLIA STORM at the Yomeddine premiere
gown by Jean-Paul Benielli

If you’re going to wear a dress we’ve seen a million times, you have to style it better than this.

ZOE KAZAN at the Wildlife premiere
dress by Schiaparelli

Well, it’s a nice Bat Mitzvah dress.

STELLA MAXWELL at the Sorry Angel premiere
gown by Roberto Cavalli, jewelry by Chopard

From the side, I thought this was fine, if a little unremarkable. But boy, did I have remarks when I saw it head-on:

What in the actual fuck is that neckline?!

IRINA SHAYK at the Yomeddine premiere
gown by Twinset

The lipstick isn’t my favorite, but the look has an Audrey Hepburn vibe that I’m appreciating.

IRINA SHAYK at the Sorry Angel premiere
gown by Atelier Versace, jewelry by Chopard

I just generally hate this.

MARION COTILLARD at the Chopard Gentlemen’s Evening
jumpsuit by Koché, jewelry by Chopard

Everything about this is an assault on my eyeballs.
