Top 3 Looks From The 2012 Cannes Film Festival


The 2012 Cannes Film Festival has come and gone, but this red carpet is equally as important to fashion as the Academy Awards and the Met Ball.  Female stars are expected to bring their A-game and it is imperative for stylists to treat this red carpet with a European sophistication and elegance.  This year brought out the best in three women who stood out amongst the rest.  Take a look at my Top 3 Looks from Cannes:

1.  Nicole Kidman:  Nicole has always been one who takes fashion risks that sometimes pay off and other times they are disastrous, but I always like that she's willing to try. I love that she's back on the red carpet and in color.  For a long time, she has been washed out in white, beige, and black, so I am glad she realized it was time to bag the neutrals and wow us with a gorgeous dusty rose gown. I am a fan of the asymmetrical lines to the top of the gown that swoops around to reveal an open back with the crystal detailing. Here are the details on the dress:

Designer: Lanvin/Custom Made by Alber Elbaz
Jewelry:  Cartier



2.  Reese Witherspoon:  Does this woman know how to do pregnancy on the red carpet or what? Reese has hit two major red carpet events with sophisticated elegance and grace.....and a growing baby bump.  Reese has also been hit or miss for me in the past, but I think she's feeling great right now and it's showing in her recent public appearances.  The color and slit up the front are winners for me, but like Nicole, it's the back of the gown that adds a bit of drama to complete the ensemble.  Here are the details on the dress:

Designer:  Custom-made Atelier Versace
Jewelry: Chopard
Shoes:  Versace


3.  Eva Longoria:  Okay, I am never a fan of her red carpet looks.  Eva is very petite and I feel like she dresses in gowns overwhelming on her tiny frame.  Well, not this time.  Eva was dressed by Michael Angel, L'Oreal Paris' official stylist.  Eva was there as the official ambassador for the brand at the film festival. She had several wonderfully divine looks that enhanced her natural beauty and they did not overwhelm her small frame, but this one was my favorite. The train of the dress reminds me of the Versace dress Penelope Cruz wore the year she was nominated for the film, Volver.  Here are the details of her dress:

Designer:  Marchesa


What do you think of my Top 3 choices? Did I hit the mark or did I miss someone?

Three Things

It's been a lovely week at home in Los Angeles and the weather has been perfect here.  I am hoping this weather continues right into my trip to New Orleans next week.  It has been about 14 years since I have been to NOLA, so feel free to shoot me some suggestions for food, shopping, and sightseeing.  I am really looking forward to the trip.  In the meantime, here are three things that I have been enjoying this week:


1. CB Designs Bracelet:  I've worn Cathy Baron's designs on the red carpet here and I recently just mentioned her interview over at Stuff She Likes, so I was thrilled to receive one of Steampunk bracelets to wear.  Her look is "luxurious, vintage, and one of kind" and I love that my bracelet has parts from antique watches to compliment the bead and chain work.  You can find her Etsy shop here.  I have my eye on one of her propeller rings next.


2. L'Oréal Paris Infallible Lip Color in Beyoncé Red:  This lip color was given to me during Oscars Week from the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce Press Gift Bag.  I let it sit on my bathroom counter until I decided to crack it open and see what it was all about. Honestly, I thought it was a cheek stain based on the shape of the packaging.  Little did I know, it was a two-in-one product.  It is a lip stain on one side and a gloss on the other.  If you wear the two together, BAM!, you have an amazing lip color that stays on all day.....and I mean all day.  As someone who eats off her lip gloss in less than twenty minutes, this is the perfect solution to my lip color issue.  There are tons of colors to choose from and you can find it at the drugstore from $10-12.


3. The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin:  I am not much of a self help book kind of girl and I was reluctant to pick up this book even though it was recommended to me by Kimberly Yates of Blonde Moxie after this happened last December.  Last week on my way to Oklahoma City, the book caught my eye on the LAX bookshelf.  2011 has been such an exciting year for me, why would I need this?  Well, it turned out to be exactly what I needed.  It is a great reminder to appreciate the little things, the fleeting moments, and ways to enjoy your home, friends, and family in ways you never expected.  Pick up the book at the link below or read the blog, I think you will get a lot out of it.

My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone in Japan right now.  For those of you that have family and friends in the area, I hope they are safe and sound.

Have a great weekend and I will see you on Monday at Red Carpet Closet!

Disclosure:  Items #1 and #2 were complimentary.  I was not asked to do a review on this by either vendor.  I chose to write about it on my own accord because I like the products and I wanted to share them with you.
