Cannes 2014: Winners and Sinners

Cannes Winners & Sinners

For many reasons, the month of May is one of our favorite months -- Memorial Day weekend, backyard BBQs, and the red carpet glamour of the Cannes Film Festival! 

The Cannes Film Festival is basically a stretched out, 11 day Oscars and with that brings some fashion highs and definitely some fashion lows (we like to celebrate both of them!) Here are some of our 2014 favorites: 




Winner:  Nicole Kidman in Armani Prive
I am in love with Nicole’s choice of dress for the Opening Ceremony of the 67th Cannes Film Festival and premiere of her latest movie, ‘Grace of Monaco.’  This strapless gown intentionally draws our eyes to Nicole. The blue fabrics and silver embellishments flatter her features so well. Having been to the Cannes Film Festival two years ago, I know from experience how gracefully Nicole presents herself on the red carpet. This gown delivers a bold statement while still preserving that princess touch.

Sinner:  Elaina Lenina
It is a mystery to me as to who designed her shocking ensemble, not to mention who on Earth came up with the Christmas ornament-like accessory and Cindy Lou Who hair. Is it just me, or does she literally look like she came off the set of the Grinch sequel?? Maybe whoever was the creative mind behind this chose to be anonymous for a reason. Despite committing the obvious sin, Russian star Elaina Lenina probably thought it was worth the trouble. After all, she captured plenty of attention. Although her hair and accessories are the most frightening of all, I have to say her dress looks pretty comfortable for a red carpet look... Sorry Elaina, you still committed a terrible sin.

Winner:  Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in Gucci
Rosie Huntington-Whitley is one of those envy-inducing women who I think could make a burlap sack look like the next big thing in couture.  But luckily for those of us fashion voyeurs, she happens to have amazing taste.  I’ve rarely seen her misstep on the red carpet.  She doesn’t disappoint in this liquidy metallic Gucci gown.  Perfection. 
-Lauren Stillman



Sinner: Tatiana-Laurens Delarue
Oh my.  Apparently Tatiana-Laurens Delarue doesn’t have any true friends.  Because it appears that no one was around to tell her that just because you CAN, doesn’t mean you SHOULD.

Winner:  Blake Lively in Gucci Premiere
Blake Lively’s Gucci Premiere look on the Red Carpet makes me love her even more! The maroon color looks amazing on her and I love how elegant and classy she looks. Gucci is doing her miracles here. And if the dress wasn’t enough to blow you away, her hair in a messy braid ponytail definitely will!  
-Niki Fleshner



Sinner:  Rita Ora
I have absolutely no idea what’s going on here! The mixture of the cheetah and peacock prints are definitely too much. SO unflattering, SO ugly, and I’m SO confused.
