We made it to Friday!!! *does the Running Man dance, back and forth*
It’s been a whirlwind of a week but, like all good things, it’s come to an end. In addition to our day-to-day routines, the 69th Annual Cannes International Film Festival set our hearts ablaze as some of Tinseltown’s hottest fashionistas dazzled and shimmered in endless red carpet appearances, celebratory parties and other events.
This week, I’m proud to announce that we have a “Battle of the Gowns” going down! It was a little tough choosing the contenders but I’m confident that the competition is preeetttyy fierce…
Let’s get to it!
1) LaLa Anthony in Gauri & Nainika
First up, we have LaLa Anthony! The gorgeous television personality rocked the red carpet at the premiere of Loving during the 2016 Cannes International Film Festival while uplifting a glamorous black gown by Gauri and Nainika. Her strapless tiered dress boasts a fishtail feature and dramatic ruffling along the bodice. To top off her look, LaLa also donned De Grisogono jewelry. Hot!
2) Kim Kardashian West in Lan Yu Couture
Kim Kardashian West was on hand for the De Grisogono party and she (literally) shined bright like a diamond! The 35-year-old style maven blinded all onlookers as she graced the cameras in a Lan Yu Couture dress from the designer’s Crystal collection. Surprisingly, this ensemble received mixed reviews but, honestly, I think it looks amazing! It’s always cool to see Kim in more polished looks – she always slays them. What do you think?
3) Jourdan Dunn in Ralph & Russo
Supermodel Jourdan Dunn was also spotted at Cannes for the premiere of The Unknown Girl! The British bombshell channeled ladylike, elegant vibes in a jaw-dropping Ralph & Russo Spring 2016 Couture White Silk Gazar Ball Gown which features an exaggerated train, hand-painted blue floral designs and a high-low hem. Jourdan amped up her luxurious look with the addition of strappy sandals and lush diamonds. Werk!
4) Katy Perry in Marchesa
Last night, Katy Perry stunned at amfAR’s 23rd Annual Cinema Against AIDS Gala as she served ‘dancing lady’ emoji realness in a ruby red gown from Marchesa‘s Fall/Winter 2016 collection. I’m a sucker for dramatic silhouettes so this one was right up my alley, lol! The songstress effortlessly pulled her frock together with a bright red lip, a low bun and diamond drop earrings.
5) Kendall Jenner in Roberto Cavalli
It-girl Kendall Jenner gave a nod to the sheer trend as she got social media (and the entire world) buzzing while donning an eye-catching Roberto Cavalli gown at the Cannes International Film Festival. The ‘fit features bold jeweled embellishment, a high neck and snake embroidery accents. This chick is everything!
6) Sonam Kapoor in Ralph & Russo
Okay, true story: After I spotted Sonam Kapoor in this Ralph & Russo stunner at the premiere of From The Land of the Moon, I had to take a moment to actually research the intricate embroidery detailing, lol. I mean, from a distance, it’s impeccable, but I was convinced that an up close shot was even better. The beautiful actress shut it down as she flaunted a shoulder cutout and that showstopping train. Go girl!
7) Chanel Iman in Marchesa
Marchesa seemed to be the designer of choice for amfAr’s Cinema Against AIDS Gala! The fashion house had a large variety of starlets rocking their pieces including the flawless Chanel Iman. While gaining over 4,000 likes on the ‘Gram (and counting), this sheer metallic number appeared to be the ‘most liked’ look of the event – impressive! The off-the-shoulder feature is on-trend and the overall femininity of the gown screams pure dopeness.
