Red Carpet Fashion: Cannes 2013 (Part 2)

Because Cannes is the red carpet that never ends (but it finally ended last week) it’s time to round up the final looks of the film festival, including the closing ceremonies and the amfAR gala. Besides the Oscars and the Met Ball of course, this is one my favorite red carpet events. The fact that it’s in France definitely brings out more fashion (maybe we should have the Oscars in Paris next year)…and I appreciate any red carpet that’s not full of sparkly strapless gowns. You know how those thrill me.

Be sure to check out part 1 (which includes Julianne Moore’s toe scandal) and now, let’s move on to part 2.

The collection will consist of shoes, bags, jewelry and sunglasses…and all statement-worthy and over-the-top. Would you expect anything less from ADR?

From Anna herself– “I am excited by this collaboration: this is the first time H&M has involved a fashion director in a special project. This is the sign of an important evolution in fashion, and I am both thrilled and humbled to be the one chosen to lead it. I wanted to create precious accessories that are impossible to find. As a stylist, I know accessorization is essential; it is the personal touch in any outfit. With these pieces, everybody can have fun, and turn an ordinary day into a fantastic fashion day.”

Current Obsession: Proenza Schouler Macramé Skirt

Happy Friday all! Today I wanted a short and sweet post…one dedicated to my current obsession,  the Proenza Schouler Macramé Skirt from their Fall 2011 collection.

As seen on Anna Dello Russo during “fashion month,” it’s truly a piece of art and a really great addition to your wardrobe…or my wardrobe 🙂

Best Dressed: The Love Ball 2011

Last night was Natalia Vodianova’s annual Love Ball that took place at Valentino Garavani’s Château de Wideville. Every year since 2005, the supermodel has brought together the most famous designers and celebrities for a large charity event in favor of the Naked Heart Foundation, an association that helps underprivileged children in Russia.

This year’s theme? The white fairy tale. Gorgeous fashion and equally gorgeous people…all gathering for a great cause. This definitely calls for a best dressed post!

That dress is like liquid on her…it’s absolutely stunning. But my favorite part? That bag! Anything that sparkles with feathers is okay fabulous in my book.

PhotobucketMargherita Missoni

At the most formal events, I seem to find Margherita wearing a belt (which tends to make things more casual) yet she always looks perfectly appropriate for the occasion..and it works for her. I LOVE this dress. Ruffles, metallics and Missoni…sounds like the complete package.

PhotobucketDaphne Guinness

Daphne can wear anything and everything…and she’ll always be fierce. Who else could pull off a rainbow Alexander McQueen caftan gown with an extraordinary headpiece? [hopefully me one day]

PhotobucketCaroline Sieber

This outfit is definitely different than most of the crowd, but I appreciate that. Although this looks like a combination of a blouse, leather shorts and a corset, it just works here. Oh and that Louis Vuitton Monogram Nova Minaudiere bag is one of my favorite things Louis Vuitton has ever produced. [note: I’m a sucker for tassels]

A best dressed post at a fashion event would not be complete without some ADR. Looking stunning in a Roberto Cavalli gown, I imagine this is what she’d look like at her wedding (except with a custom fruit headpiece instead of the flowers). As always, I live for Anna Dello Russo.
