Zhang Yuqi In Alexander McQueen – ‘Soshite Chichi Ni Naru’ Cannes Film Festival Premiere

Zhang Yuqi, who Getty keeps referring to as Fan Bingbing, made a late arrival to the ‘Soshite Chichi Ni Naru’ Cannes Film Festival premiere at the Palais des Festivals in France yesterday evening.

What I love about Zhang Yuqi is that she loves a big ballgown. She really gets what this festival is all about, despite this being her first time at the rodeo.

She opted to wear a fire-engine red Alexander McQueen bustier gown with exaggerated hips which looks slightly creased.

The creases can be forgiven, because if you are stuck in traffic rushing to get to a red carpet which is about to close, keeping your gown crease-free is the least of your worries.

Rocking the beautiful braided Cannes trend, the actress styled her look with a gold Sergio Rossi clutch and a Bulgari statement ring.

Liam Hemsworth In Ermenegildo Zegna – ‘The Hunger Games:Catching Fire’ Cannes Film Festival Party

Liam Hemsworth joined Jennifer Lawrence on the red carpet at Baoli Beach for a party to celebrate ‘The Hunger Games: Catching Fire’ Party during Cannes Film Festival in France on Saturday evening.

After wearing all black to the ‘Jimmy P. (Psychotherapy of a Plains Indian) premiere earlier in the evening, the handsome actor was feeling blue, selecting a two-button notched lapel Ermenegildo Zegna suit.

Opting to rock the look sans tie – it was a party after all – he completed the look with brown oxford lace up shoes.

I don’t know about you; but I can’t look into his eyes in fear of turning to jelly.

19.05.13 Photocall, Runway To Red Carpet

Carey Mulligan In Chloé – ‘Inside Llewyn Davis’ Cannes Film Festival Photocall

The gorgeous Carey Mulligan is having quite a busy time during Cannes Film Festival, as she was back at the Palais des Festivals in France today following ‘The Great Gatsby’ premiere on Wednesday.

This time she was promoting her new film ‘Inside Llewyn Davis’ at photocall with co-stars Justin Timberlake and Garrett Hedlund.

Black was again her colour of choice; this time selecting a look from the Chloe Fall 2013 collection.

The LBD with military-style detailing was accented with a gold buckle belt which differs from the version which took to the runway.

What also appears to be different is the silhouette. Carey’s dress is A-line, however, the runway dress appears to be more streamlined, but this could just be a result of the models outstretched legs.

Minimalist styling, as we’ve come to expect, included a barely there makeup – with a touch of pink lip colour – and black Louboutin peep-toes.

There was a 50/50 divide on her Dior Couture ‘The Great Gatsby’ premiere look, so what are your expectations for this evening?

Princess Charlene of Monaco In Christian Dior – Dior Cruise Resort 2014 Presentation & Cocktail Reception

Princess Charlene of Monaco joined host of celebs, including Jessica Biel and Marion Cotillard, in the front row for the Christian Dior Cruise 2014 presentation in Monaco yesterday evening.

She arrived at the show wearing a black Dior cashmere long sleeve top from the Spring 2013 collection with a navy-and-black striped strapless dress from the Pre-Fall 2013 collection.

Cut to a few hours later and the Princess was wearing a multi-coloured striped dress with an asymmetrical hemline from the Cruise 2014 collection she has just seen glide down the runway.

We haven’t seen a runway to red carpet turn around that quick since Nicole Kidman wore a L’Wren Scott Fall 2013 dress the same day as the London Fashion Week presentation to the ‘Stoker’ London screening.

Christian Dior Cruise 2014 Front Row

The Christian Dior Cruise 2014 presentation took place in Monaco yesterday evening with many celebs taking to the front row to select their red carpet looks first hand.

Jessica Biel: Easily my favourite of the bunch. Jessica seems to have fallen back in love with fashion and it shows in her choice. She selected an ensemble from the Fall 2013 collection featuring a black, pink and white houndstooth print bustier and draped black skirt with a bright pink insert. The most vivid colour came from her pink lip shade which elevated what was already a spectacular look. A side-swept bun, off-white sandals and dazzling David Webb jewels provided the finishing touches.

Marion Cotillard: The French beauty kept her look simple opting for a white Dior trench coat from the Pre-Fall 2013 collection. What I love most about this look are her black Dior pumps with a neon-yellow toe-cap.

Ruth Wilson: The British actress wore a navy strapless bustier silk dress featuring the printed Warhol ‘Femme Head 1958′ artwork and gold ‘High Heel 1956′ embroidery. I love the dress and the styling which included lavender pumps and a navy-blue clutch, however, her hair and makeup and overall dishevelment puts me off this look.

Zhang Ziyi: Representing Asia, Zhang was the picture of elegance wearing a black-and-white look from the Pre-Fall 2013 collection. While the high-low hem isn’t a look we always appreciate. I think the look works really well on this occasion, mostly because the look isn’t too overworked and the styling is kept simple with a black clutch, white pumps and Dior jewels.

Who was your favourite?

‘The Cannes Diaries’ with shoescribe.com

Today I have two favourites for my best dressed of the day in association with shoescribe.com, Nieves Alvarez in Ralph & Russo Couture and Carina Lau in Elie Saab Couture.

Nieves’ Ralph & Russo gown inspired me to select these Gianvito Rossi pumps, as they possess all the same traits as her gown: sleek, sexy and sophisticated.

Giuseppe Zanotti Design white sandals with asymmetrical straps couldn’t be a more fitting heel to best sum up Carina’s Elie Saab gown: a sinuous and sparkling fit for a goddess.
