Cannes Film Festival 2012 - Nicole Kidman & amfAR Ladies

So, I have more than one favourite look from yesterdays happenings at The Cannes Film Festival. The amfAR annual Cinema Against Aids had quite it's usual stylish attendees, a few of them serve as my favourite looks from Cannes, the only one not from the amfAR gala was that of Nicole Kidman who was attending the premiere of The Paperboy. So here we go...

Karolina Kurkova wearing Roberto Cavalli (from the SS12 collection)





Natasha Poly wearing an Emilio Pucci gown (from the FW12 collection), Emilio Pucci clutch and Azzedine Alaia shoes. 





Lily Donaldson wearing a J. Mendel gown (from SS12 collection), Jimmy Choo shoes.




Isabeli Fontana wearing Versace.





Doutzen Kroes wearing a Versace dress (from the FW12 collection), Azzedine Alaia clutch.



Nina Dobrev wearing an Elie Saab dress (from the SS12 collection), Jimmy Choo shoes, Bulgari jewellery.

Even though Nina looks absolutely gorgeous, I can't help but dislike those silver shoes with the dress, I feel it makes it look a bit showgirl. A coloured or neutral sandal would have been much better I would have chosen either one of these...



The colours in this Jimmy Choo sandal would compliment the colour of Nina's dress without attracting away was from it, and jewellery or a clutch bag of similar tones could have been chosen to pick up the colours in the shoe.




Or I would have chosen this neutral Giuseppe Zanotti sandal which would also flatter the colour blue of the dress, I just feel the silver is cold against the blue, and doesn't breathe any life into the overall look making it look old fashioned and dated. Just saying!

Cannes Film Festival 2012 - Natasha Poly & Isabeli Fontana

My favourite looks from yesterday at the Cannes Film Festival were from models Natasha Poly (yes, again!) attending the premiere of Holy Motors and Isabeli Fontana attending a de Grisogono party. Natasha was wearing an Emilio Pucci gown & clutch bag and Christian Louboutin shoes, I love that she didn't wear jewellery and made her hair and makeup be the accessories. I LOVE her hair like that, in a tousled side plait and complimented with sultry smoky eyes. She looks flawless as always.

My second favourite look was from Isabeli Fontana who was looking effortlessly beautiful wearing a Dolce & Gabbana dress and a de Grisogono necklace. She looks so hot, and I have hair envy!

Cannes Film Festival 2012 - Natasha Poly wearing Emilio Pucci

My favourite look from yesterday at The Cannes Film Festival, was from Natasha Poly attending The Chopard Mystère Party in Cannes wearing an Emilio Pucci tuxedo-top dress (from the Fall/Winter 2012 collection) with lace-up knee high sandals and clutch bag also by the designer and jewellery by Chopard. She once again looks absolutely flawless and I wouldn't change anything about this look, I love that she paired an unobvious style of shoe, some people might  think it would be, but I love it as the dress is structured, masculine and simple in ways so it was more than able to be paired with a 'statement' style of shoe, I feel a simple shoe would have been quite boring and forgettable. This entire look is sexy-modern-retro, so brava Natasha for looking so damn impeccable!
