Cannes Film Festival 2011- Part VII

Janet Jackson

-Colorblocked Haider Ackermann gown: 10/10 (Usually Janet's fashion choices are quite questionable, but she looks so regal in this gown by one of my favorite designers, Haider Ackermann. Also it seems she has slimmed down alot too)

Jane Fonda

-Animal print gown: 15/10 (At her age, Jane Fonda knocks the socks off of all the Hollywood youngsters for sure in this stunner. I love the sequin animal print and the lighter tones. I can only wish I look this good down the road)

Eve Hewson

-Pink and black Chanel dress: 6/10 (I was really not a fan of the collection this Chanel dress hails from, but I was hoping it would translate better on the red carpet. Sadly it does not. I strongly dislike the heavy black pumps and the baby pink skirt just isn't flattering mixed with the weird halter top)

-Printed Miu Miu dress: 9/10 (Now this is much better! I think the green neckline detail is very interesting and refreshing against the black and white pattern. I also like the bright purple pump. However the dress has no shape. If it were longer or more structured this would have been a 10)

Claudia Schiffer

-Black lace Dolce & Gabbana gown: 15/10 (Love this! So sexy, chic and simple. A throwback to the 90's which is fabulous. Pointy toe heels, wind blown hair and supermodel strut complete this great look)



Kristen Dunst

-Sheer Chanel gown: 20/10 (I adore Kristen's style choices at Cannes this past week, and this is no exception. Feminine and simply beautiful, this delicate gown makes her shine. Dewy skin and pulled up hair keep things pretty)



Rosario Dawson

-Red mermaid gown: 7/10 (Oh she almost had it! I absolutely love this bright fun red hue against her skin tone. I even love the fit and light material. However the peek a boo white really bugs me. Kinda looks like a mistake or the underlining of the dress)

Gwen Stefani

-Black and white Armani Prive gown: 10/10 (fabulous. Graphic, chic and bold all describe this look and all describe Gwen to a tee. the single stripe on the middle and the bandeau bodice is so youthful and unique. Rocker lips and hair finish off a perfect look)

The New Stylistas

Elizabeth Olsen

Many would be shocked to learn that famous fashion icons, Mary Kate and Ashely Olsen, have a younger sister. Elizabeth, who stars in a couple well received Sundance Films, has a very similar yet different take on style compared to her designer sisters (for whom she is the namesake of their label, Elizabeth&James). Elizabeth's style is part flower child, part tomboy and part vintage chic. But unlike MK&A, she dresses far more simply. She is a rising star not only on screen but on the fashion scene as well!

Haliee Steinfeld

Oscar nominated star of True Grit, Hailee Steinfeld has been making a huge impact on the red carpet lately. She mixes cute with high fashion, something most young stars fail to master. I love that she sports looks straight from the runway (Prada and Miu Miu anyone?!). But perhaps the best thing about Hailee's style is that she never over complicates anything. If her dress is bold, her hair is simple and if her shoes are fierce, she rocks a cute LBD. At the tender age of 14, Hailee has a bright and long future ahead of her.

Elle Fanning


Elle Fanning, little sister of Dakota, is no stranger to Hollywood as she started out as a child star. But as of late her style has been catching the eye of the fashion industry as well. Already the face of Rodarte, Elle's sweet and quirky style is making waves. She always manages to look both age appropriate and fashion forward at the same time. Whimsical, delicate, short&sassy looks define her style. Her big sis Dakota has great taste as well, but I'd say Elle is giving her a run for her money!
