Starworthy Style! Get the Look of Cannes Film Competition 2010

19 May 2010

Beautiful people, a glorious week of International films.. does life get any sweeter than this?  For those who won’t be present for the 2010 Film Festival at Cannes, update your wardrobe by taking cues from the weekend’s best-dressed ladies of France.  A flurry of premieres has already featured some red carpets filled with the most daring ensembles on the French Riviera, worn by our favorite fashionistas Kate Beckinsale, Salma Hayek and even glamor queen Cate Blanchett.   These couture-inspired looks, below, will bring your wardrobe on a voyage though the exotic realm of Cannes!

Wear It: Metal at Cannes

Alexander McQueen An eye-opening eagle motif decorated this unusual printed gown, contrasted by a ballgown-style tulle underlay.  Known for her stately, off-shoulder red carpet ensembles, actress Cate Blanchett was a statuesque vision with a twist of heavy metal.

The Drama of Florals swirl abound on this flirtatious sequined halter dress.  Sexy, not garish, this glossy print offers just enough boldness for your opening debut.  LM Collection Floral-Print Halter Gown, $495 at Bloomingdales.

Wear It: Asymmetric Appeal

Gucci Premiére An icon of sultry glamor, actress Salma Hayek posed pretty in a semi-sheer cutout gown of georgette, draped gracefully around her ravishing curves and fastened in front with a brooch.

The “Shutter” Effect of this Tadashi Shoji gown is sure grab the imagination while giving the illusion of a superslim waistline.   One-Shoulder Silk Gown has all of the details, $510 at Saks.

Wear It: Free Legs

Balmain The regal stature (and great legs) of Kate Beckinsale caused a buzz early in the week as she strutted her stuff outside the premiere of Blutiful.  A side-slashed leg wasn’t the only attraction; Beckinsale’s gown also featured no-nonsense accessories and a high-shine glitz.

Create a stir of your own in the studded and rouched Halter Embellished Maxi Dress, $169 at Bebe.

At the top: Glitter On as Eva Longoria did in a glittering gown with simple straps.

Get a similar effect with a strapless version sure to carry on through the wildest of Summer cocktails.  You’ll love the fun ruffled skirt of Alice + Olivia’s Bethany Sequined Bodice Dress, $495 at Bloomingdales.

Finish your look with the Enigma Metallic Suede Sandals by Jimmy Choo, now at Saks.
