The 66th Annual Cannes International Film Festival kicked off late last week and several stars have already brought quite a bit of glamour to the famed red carpet. Sweeping trains, exceptional embellishments and statement jewelry all made notable appearances at the various premieres. Christian Dior, Chanel and Zuhair Murad have been well-represented at the festival, but at least one celeb opted for a lesser-known designer. Here’s an overview of some of the standout gowns from Cannes so far.



Nicole Kidman stunned in this colorful Christian Dior Spring 2013 Couture embroidered gown at the premiere of The Great Gatsby. The fashion house was also behind her bright coral pumps. It was a white Roberto Cavalli creation with gold neckline for Cindy Crawford at the premiere. She polished off her look with Chopard jewelry. Model Cara Delevingne attended the festival’s showing of The Great Gatsby in a black lace Burberry gown. She completed her look with Chopard jewels.



There were also a lot of stars at the Jimmy P. (Psychotherapy of a Plains Indian) premiere. Jennifer Lawrence embraced the black and white trend with this Christian Dior Fall 2013 gown accented by Chopard gems along with a Charlotte Olympia clutch. Cheryl Cole represented L’Oréal in grand fashion at the festival decked out in this burgundy Zuhair Murad embellished gown. A slightly undone braided hairstyle wrapped up her look. Doutzen Kroes was hard to miss at the premiere in a white hot Calvin Klein Collection gown with open back. She capped off her look with coordinating Calvin Klein sandals.



Emma Watson helped unveil her film, The Bling Ring, over in Cannes outfitted in Chanel. Her sleek Spring 2013 Couture gown featured a black bodice and white silk skirt. Sanchita was the source of Freida Pinto’s dazzling silver gown at the premiere of Jeune et Jolie. The actress accessorized with a clutch by Swarovski and a pair of Jimmy Choo Lance sandals. Eva Longoria made an appearance at the Le Passé premiere in a dramatic embellished Zuhair Murad Spring 2013 Couture gown. Damiani diamond earrings and Casadei Blade sandals rounded out the look.

Picking a favorite from this impressive group is definitely a challenge, but we were blown away by both Nicole’s Christian Dior and Freida’s sparkling Sanchita design. Which star gets your vote for best dressed?

Although the exhibit may be called Punk: Chaos to Couture, there were quite a few celebs at Monday night’s Met Gala who circumvented the chaos and went straight for couture. Gwyneth Paltrow was probably one of the event’s biggest offenders in this bubblegum pink Valentino gown with nude inset. Wilfredo Rosado earrings completed her sweet look. Blake Lively certainly represented the Gucci Première brand well in a light green strapless gown with black organza skirt accented by an embellished feather pattern at the waist. A pair of Lorraine Schwartz statement earrings polished off the stunning look. It was a marvelous Marchesa Fall 2013 white embellished gown for Heidi Klum on the red carpet. Harry Winston gems and Jimmy Choo shoes served as accessories.



Calvin Klein designed the rather ethereal ivory halter gown Katie Holmes wore to the gala. The actress also relied on Lorraine Schwartz jewels to finish off her look. Model Kate Upton arrived in an emerald Diane von Furstenberg draped gown. The designer’s gold clutch rounded out the look. Zac Posen was behind Uma Thurman’s dramatic green gown with cascading train. She did make a bit of a rebellious statement, though courtesy of that Efva Attling Funky Ring.

Despite the fact that these stars shunned the night’s established theme, we’re still impressed with the glamorous nature of their real show-stopping gowns. After all, isn’t going against the establishment what punk’s all about?

The Iron Man 3 Los Angeles premiere brought out a bevy of stars on Wednesday night. All eyes were definitely on Gwyneth Paltrow on the red carpet courtesy of her revealing Antonio Berardi Fall 2013 ensemble featuring kimono sleeves and sheer skirt panels. She capped off her look with white Christian Louboutin Dufoura platform sandals. Jaimie Alexander stood out in a lovely yellow Marc Bouwer gown with an embellished cut-out accent on the bodice. She accessorized with a pair of Rupert Sanderson gold mirror Mion sandals. It was a red draped Halston dress for Cobie Smulders at the premiere. Lorraine Schwartz jewelry, a gold Gucci clutch and coordinating Jimmy Choo peep-toes rounded out the look.



Temperley London was behind Emily VanCamp’s embellished Fall 2013 dress. The Revenge actress accessorized with a clutch by Nancy Gonzalez and Robert Clergerie Querrye sandals. Kat Dennings went with Dolce & Gabbana. Her floral and lace dress was amped up by her bold lip color. Bella Thorne made quite a statement in this printed Katie Ermilio Spring 2013 crop top and peplum skirt. A dramatic top knot and statement necklace wrapped up her look.

We loved Jaimie’s bold Marc Bouwer, but have to give Gwyneth a lot of credit for her truly daring Antonio Berardi look. Who was your favorite from the Iron Man 3 red carpet?
