Yes we Cannes!

May 11-22 celebrated the Cannes Film Festival.  I know,I'm sliiightly late on this one, but didn't want to forget to post this one of my favourite red carpet looks!  I don't know about you, but I can't think of a more perfect setting, and can just imagine taking in the picturesque sights during the day and attending swanky parties in the evenings-the ocean as an endlessly changing backdrop. 

Diane Kruger in a gilded Calvin Klein dress, alongside Pacey.   My 16 year old self is jealous.  Who am I kidding, so is my 27 yr old self.  Sigh.

The gorgeous Gwen Stefani in a Stella McCartney jumpsuit with husband Gavin Rossdale

Kirsten Dunst in Chanel

Uma Thurman is breathtaking in this Armani Prive gown

Owen Wilson and Rachel McAdams.  Love this Maxime Simoens Couture dress.

The eccentric Tilda Swinton kept it classic, with statement heels.  She's starring in the movie adaptation of "We Need to Talk about Kevin", one of my favourite reads!

Zoe Saldana in Georgio Armani

OK, that's it...get me a damn yacht and a damn glass of bubbly right MEOW!

HP, not the tech company

Behold:

 

Now this is a person who appreciates dressing for the theme.  Oh, Johnny Weir.  Can we collaborate on some figure skating costumes soon?  (He actually has his own costume designer, Stephanie Handler, but he apparently has a lot of say in his costume designs...would love to work with someone who enjoys a bit of flash.)

Moving on to the actual stars of this movie, here's the delightful Emma Watson, post-Late Show appearance promoting the new film. 

 

Princess and the Pea Coat!  Love her ability to sell every trench, double breasted and collared coat she puts on...must be why Burberry hired her for their Prorsum ads.  Genius.

And Daniel Radcliffe:

 

I had to use this one because it looks like this is his family he is posing with.  I have to give props for Dan's stylish getup....usually he looks like he just rolled out of bed, fought off a Deatheater, chased down the Golden Snitch and got to the red carpet in the nick of time.  I also have to commend the Broderick-Parker clan for dressing for the theme as well.  Matthew looks like a professor at Hogwarts, their son James Wilkie is one year shy from the Sorting Hat, and SJP...well...she just dressed like a witch to this one...and I love her, but the most exciting thing about this dress is her right boob trying to escape. 

Next up is Rupert Grint:

I left the "teenstarsworld" watermark there because it's awesome.  As is his red carpet look.  Well done, Ron.  No ugly Christmas sweater from mom on this kid! 

And, finally: 

 

Now THIS is commitment to the role, people.  Insane dress plus disheveled hair plus perma-frown is Bellatrix Lestrange approved!  Tim Burton is one lucky guy...he must have never believed he would actually end up married to the woman of his dreams.  I actually wonder if he managed to get his hands on the machine used in Weird Science.

SO!  Who wants to go and see the new HP with me?  Meet you there...Silvercity, Monday, 7pm...I'll be the one dressed as Dumbledore.  I'll just recycle my grade 3 Halloween costume when I went as Merlin the Magician during a 2-year obsession with The Sword in the Stone.
