The opening ceremony of
Cannes Film Festival 2012 heralds a fresh new upsurge in brilliant dresses on the red carpet. For me, Cannes is the start of the season. The start of the year, where summer trends are defined and a whole new raft of people become fascinated with red carpet fashion. I love it. Probably more than most red carpets. And this year
Diane Kruger, style icon and stealer of Pacey Witter, is a judge which means a slew of pictures of her in stunning dresses. She, together with
Eva Longoria and
Jessica Chastain were the big-star stunners at the opening ceremony yesterday. Diane wore
Giambattista Valli, Eva was in
Marchesa and Jessica was in plunging
Alexander McQueen - with pockets. Amazing.
Also looking good at the opening ceremony was
Lana del Rey in beautiful black
Alberta Ferretti, Freida Pinto in a fiesta from
Michael Angel and
Berenice Bejo in red
Louis Vuitton. This is the best she has ever looked in my opinion. Stunning.
And then there were the ladies that really shone. Can you believe that
Jane Fonda (in slightly altered
Atelier Versace) is in her 70s!? Utterly sublime rose gold goddess. Obviously
Tilda Swinton's
Haider Ackermann has no peer. I actually feel like weeping when I see her looking so bizarrely beautiful. And of course supermodels like
Eva Herzigova are always going to look incredible in
Dolce & Gabbana.What a fabulous start to the next two weeks of film, fashion and fun on the red carpet! I can't wait to see how it all plays out and who amazes us as we go along. Stay locked into StyleGuideCT for the ride of your life, everyday, all the best of the fashions. Strap in.
