Cannes Red Carpet 2013 - Part One

Red Carpet Fashion
Cannes Film Festival 2013
Part One

The 66th Annual Cannes Film Festival kicked off to a stylish start earlier this week, where couture gowns and international celebrities graced the French Rivera with great aplomb. This is Part One of my Cannes Red Carpet Coverage. Click on the image for a larger view.

True Colours
'The Great Gatsby's' Isla Fisher was ravishing in a crimson red Oscar de la Renta gown featuring a layered skirt with wavering frills. Zhang Yuki stood out in an avocado green Ulyana Sergeenko gown with plunge neck bodice. Freida Pinto was vibrant in a cerise pink halter-neck dress by Gucci, featuring an embellished belt. French actress Vahina Giocante picked out a cobalt blue gown with sheer side panels and winged sleeves by Elie Saab.

Star Dust
Paz Vega sizzled in a sexy sheer tulle beaded gown with nude body suit by Roberto Cavalli. Naomie Harris glittered in a silver bugle-beaded Calvin Klein column gown. Ahna O' Reilly was elegant in a fully beaded ivory one-shouldered dress with cut-out sides by Elie SaabFreida Pinto showed off a high-slit in this silvery beaded dress by Sanchita.

In The Dark
Cara Delevingne represented Burberry in an alluring black gown with see-through lace long-sleeves. Zhang Ziyi was painted in black and silver, wearing a capacious strapless gown by Carolina Herrera. 'Les Mis' actress Samantha Barks was simply demure in a modest black long-sleeved Christian Dior dress with full skirt. 

Scene Stealers

Sonam Kapoor stunned in a custom-made gown by Dolce & Gabbana, featuring a voluminous pink flower printed ballroom skirt. Nicole Kidman went for a tea-length dress with neon floral embroidery by Christian Dior, adding coral pumps to her outfit. Bérénice Bejo made an impact in a frothy white frilled gown, with tailored navy blazer by Alexis Mabille Couture.

A Sweep of Blush
Upcoming actress Claire Julien looked beautiful in a blush toned Emilio Pucci gown with elaborately ruffled train. Dutch supermodel Doutzen Kroes wore a pastel pink Atelier Versace dress with shimmering sequined cut-out bodice. Carey Mulligan kept things classic in a frosted Christian Dior Couture gown with low V-neck and full skirt. 


Fan Fiction
Fan BingBing brings her own blend of glamour to Cannes, pictured left in a delicate lemon chiffon Elie Saab gown with embroidered three-quarter top. She then picked out a powder blue satin dress with mermaid skirt and off-the shoulder plunge-neckline by Ulyana Sergeenko. Fan attended the opening ceremony in a rose pink strapless duchess satin gown by Louis Vuitton.


Gold Thread
Solange Knowles stepped out in a sandy Stephane Rolland Couture dress, with slitted long-sleeves and fringed detailing on the swishy skirt. Eva Longoria was attractive in a matt gold embroidered long-sleeved gown by Zuhair Murad. Bollywood beauty Sonam Kapoor displayed a more traditional look in a white Anamika Khanna lace sari with opulent gold beadwork.

Black on White
Emma Watson was sophisticated in a minimalist Chanel Couture dress with black bustier bodice and white fitted skirt. Liya Kebede wore a dainty diaphanous white Alberta Ferretti ensemble with sheer top and textured layer skirt. Belarusian model Olga Sorokina emphasized her chic white dress with oversized black ruffled shoulders. French actress Sara Forestier kept things interesting in a white shorter-length Giambattista Valli dress featuring an asymmetrical hemline, with contrasting black velvet panel and red ankle-strap pumps.


Who impressed you the most during the first 3 days of the Cannes Film Festival?


*Part Two of my Cannes Red Carpet Coverage is to follow in the coming week.

Chic Delights said...

Hi Sam, I liked the outfits of Cara Delevigne, Nicole Kidman, Fan Bingbing in Louis Vuitton and Emma Watson in minimalist Chanel. The gown of Carey Mulligan looked similar to Gwyneth's Pink Prada gown during the Oscars.

Thank you too for your lovely comments on my blog. Happy Weekend.

Hi Sam! I was waiting this post from you from days! I think all the ladies were just perfect and too stunning with their gowns! I feel to not exclude anyone since they all are outstanding! I was mesmerizing for all the beautiful dresses, but, at least, I have a fav, the one who just blows aways everyone, at least in my opinion: Cara Delevingne! She was so impressive on the red carpet, a true diva! Great the choice of the dress, the lace, the make up, the jewelry, everything!!! Thanks for your words dear, just feel the same about u!:) Happy weekend, big hugs! xo

My favorites were Zhang and Cara. They were stunning!

Unknown said...

Sam, thanks so much for your comments! I appreciate every one of them! You make my day. I love this post and I'm obsessed with Isla Fisher. She always looks great and is gorgeous. I love the dresses you chose here, and I think the only thing I don't like is blush dresses. I just feel they wash everyone out unless they are dark complexioned. I was so disappointed that Rachel Zoe dressed Anne Hathaway in a blush dress this year because she is so pale! Anyways, have a lovely weekend and talk soon! xx Pip

Rahul Bhatia said...

Difficult to choose the best one from the glitz and glamor:)

Not Just A Pretty Dress said...

Carey Mulligan's look is my absolute favourite! The Dior gown is full of 'old' glamour and minimal hair and bare make-up are perfect to complete this elegant ensemble! Sam, hope is all well! Caterina

miss b said...

I definitely think that these dresses are some of the most glamorous we have seen for some time. Difficult to choose a favourite. I tend to be drawn to neutral shades but Eva Longoria's gown with a touch of sparkle was so elegant that I think that's my favourite.

VintageDanielle said...

I LOVE LOVE the Star Dust line, so beautiful.

Ivana said...

Cannes festival embodies the glamour to me: I love how so many women take bolder approach to the red carper, and they make more daring fashion choices than at Oscars for example. I loved following Carey Mulligan and Marion Cotillard: they both were glamorous and stylish, but also original and unique.
Love your round-up, sweetie, as always!
