May 20th, 2009

I secretly knew she wouldn’t let me down, that 3 years in a row she has wowed at Cannes.

Angelina Jolie walked the red carpet in not only colour, but this season colour, nude.

Her chiffon one-sleeved Versace Fall 2008 gown, is so beautiful, delicate and feminine, yet she’s still exudes her usual sex appeal.

Those famous full lips are red divine, and her look is complete with champagne heels.

This is definitely one of her best looks to date.

Diane Kruger was equally radiant, if not more so than Angelina.

The stunning actress walked the red carpet in a custom made ivory silk chiffon Marchesa gown with flutter sleeves.

I love the cowl back dress, with silver floral embroidered detail.

The side swept bun, and simple diamonds quietly scream elegance.

Best Dressed of The Week just became even harder.

Elsa Pataky swept the red carpet with her black Elie Saab Spring 2009 Couture strapless gown.

Elsa likes to be a sex kitten on the red carpet, but with a few diamonds here and there, and her hair pulled back, she looks very demure.

I would have loved to have seen her in another colour gown, as she wore black to the Chopard “Cascade” perfume launch.

Asia Argento plays the femme fatale wearing a bold Armani Privé Spring 2009 strapless gown, with a blood red fringed skirt.

She paired her devilish look with matching shoes, and bright red lipstick for an eye-catching pout.

I’m surprised to say that I kinda like Sharon Stone in this Balmain Fall 2009 gown.

It shows off her body, which looks amazing, and she’s not wearing some tacky animal print, which she’s usually fond of.

For once Sharon, I don’t hate.

I’m happy to see Dita von Teese wearing something from the Christian Dior Spring 2009 Couture collection, but I’m disappointed she didn’t pick one of the more colourful risky pieces.

I hope those gowns aren’t destined to only be editorial gowns.

Dita wore her one-shouldered dress with a red clutch, to match her perfect pout. Cute, but safe.

Emma de Caunes also opted for a black Elie Saab dress, but her embellished cocktail dress was from the Fall 2009 collection.

Judge Shu Qi looked angelic wearing a white Roberto Cavalli Spring 2009 gown, which had a gold chain detail embellishing the trim of the bodice.

German actress Jana Pallaske wore an eventful Paule Ka Spring 2009 strapless dress on the red carpet, with bandage straps, black contrasting bodice, and feathered hem.

There’s a lot going on, but it’s fun and fruity.

French actress Frédérique Bel also opted for a Paule Ka Spring 2009 creation.

Hers was less cutesy, and more risky, with the cut-out panel showing off her toned abs.

Natasha Poly’s Roberto Cavalli Spring 2009 strapless black and grey gown has plenty of frou frou in the skirt with the ruffles and tulle layers.

In this supermodel face-off, Natasha’s soft make-up, and sultry smile wins me over.

Robin Wright Penn opts for her second Narciso Rodriguez gown of Cannes Film Festival.

This time it’s refreshing white crepe gown, with sleek lines to give her a beautiful silhouette.

Michelle Yeoh opted for a beige strapless Roberto Cavalli gown, with stunning gold accessories to compliment the gold embroidered details on her bodice.

I’ve never been a fan of Joss Stone’s style. She over did the hippy maxi look, but here she opts for a yellow haltered dress, which does nothing for her.

Her yellow dress was paired with green heels, with a pink tip. !?!?!?

    I love Joss Stone’s songs, but dressing up is just not her cup of tea.

    Jana’s dress is kinda interesting.

    I called it! Angelina wore a neutral colored Versace!

    I had a feeling her mood would match the dress and would not be something bold.

    elsa, it is nice but come on it is summer for crying out loud enough black! bring on the nice summery colours.

    sharon, she is beautiful but someone needs to tell her to dress her age, this dress is trashy enough but putting a woman in her 50s this is trashy!

    dita, i love her but this is boring. yet another black dress.

    jana, WOW a dress that isnt mostly black, this is a nice dress but on her im not sure, thank god though she didnt pick pumps though.

    robin, boring!

    joss, hmmm WTF is she doing at cannes?

    Jana: risky, but stylish as always.

    Sharon: Surprise, surprise….this woman got a little feeling for style.

    Dita: nice, but I saw this look hundred times before.

    Elsa: too much fabric and too gothic

    Angelina looks great, but I GUARANTEE you the way that dress drapes around her midsection is going to get tabloids screaming about future celestial babies again. Not that they need any concrete reason to run those stories.

    Im in love with Angelina`s presence, attitude, regalness, exhuberance, power, sexyness, poise and glamour…
    OMG…when she wants it she really nails it..that dress fits her wonderfully, her make up looks absolutely magnificent,,She doesnt need to try hard to look this GORGEOUS,,why cant she look like this every time she attends a red carpet event???
    I Adore her here,,,but FC she wasnt wearing louboutins, she was actually wearing the ugliest shoes i`ve ever seen..soo boring and so blah! look at them

  14. r1ma says:

    Lol I was being a bit obnoxious with all the excitement.

    Hehe thanks.I learned from the best FC! ;-)

    This is such a great premiere!

    I think Diane Kruger upstaged Angelina ‘though, fashion wise.

    And Alicia is right…what is with that draping around her mid-section?

    [Reply]

  15. Leti says:

    Wow, I guess I’m in the minority, but I think this look is far from Angelina’s best. I don’t like the blond in her hair–it looks streaky. I don’t like the matte dark red lips. And I’m not thrilled with the dress. I mean, sure the dress is an improvement over the drab sack dresses she’s been wearing lately, but that’s not saying much.

  16. Nicole says:

    Angelina looks good love the gown.. no doubt the rumour mills will start up but she looks great anyway…

    I want to see diane! Its her premiere!!!

    Im a little sick of Dita in her little dresses. her style is kinda getting old for me i want her to switch it up..

    Sharon looks good actually.. she is like a yo yo.. one day she looks horrible and then she pulls looks like this out..

    [Reply]

  17. Danielle says:

    Yeah she didn’t wear black, but I’m not blown away…

    Good God, this best dressed of the week is going to be tough!!! I have been making a list who I would feature, but it’s really difficult!
    (I hope you don’t include Sharon’s Balmain)

  18. Scored Angie…!!! Colour on her..
    I am still waiting for Diane Kruger …FC is she there at the event..You are as fast as a Rocket I must Say..!!!!

    I was just about the send you a pic of Diane Kreuger. She looks lovely in that dress and the hair is perfect.

  20. T says:

    That Versace dress is my favourite from the collection, but I hate the colour of Angelina’s on her. I don’t think Angelina looks pregnant, I think the dress maybe makes her stomach looka little bigger and she has had a few kids. I’d say she is just carrying a bit of weight around there. Dita is such a disappointment, that dress is probably the most boring from a boring collection.

    [Reply]

  21. what the?! why is joss stone even there? she’s posing like she knows she shouldn’t be there.

    angelina does look great….but diane kruger just takes my breath away <3 and then it only gets better with elsa and dita. even though they are wearing black they look amazing, and their ensembles are not boring. FC, i have no idea how you’re going to pick the people for best dressed this week. i still can’t get michelle yeoh out of my mind. i love that dress so much.

  22. pandar says:

    tadaa….Miss Boring is in the house…Angelina looks okay! It isn’t great, but a step in the right direction. GO ON, ANGIE!

    Diane is stunning as always.

  23. Vera says:

    WOW! Sharon Stone??

    [Reply]

  24. Diane looks Radiant..Yep Yep I agree with you the best dressed looks like a killer this time ^^…!!!! but that is for the best..I simply love Cannes..what amazing couture it gives to the world & especially to fashion obsessed like all of us here .. :-)

    [Reply]

  25. I am neither wowed nor blown away by Angelina’s look. Sure she is wearing a nice enough dress and the colour is on trend but I think that she has us so perpetually underwhelmed and starved for her to wear something non black and fabulous that all she has to do is look average and everyone melts and proclaims how amazing she looks. If someone else wore this dress I don’t think they would have garnered the same applause.

  26. leleana says:

    Personally, Angie shouldn’t be following the trend. I’m dissapointed she’s wearing a nude colored dress. Sure, she looks great, but honestly, I feel like the trend has been worn out already. Kind of expected more.

    Diane looks gorgeous though. And wow, so much black from everyone else!

    [Reply]

  27. Gaber says:

    That’s a REALLY bad picture of Angy that was chosen to open the post. She looks washed out and the make-up looks massively overdone.
    But after looking at the pictures at the end of the post - I need to give my love to the look. Very nice!

    I completely agree with Kiran and for me the best dressed is Diane with no doubt!!!

  29. Kylie says:

    FC, Angelina’s dress actually has a thigh-high split! The angle of this picture completely obscures that.

    Stunning!!!

  30. Kelly says:

    While I like Angelina’s dress, I don’t think she pulls it off. The red lip really ages her… I didn’t even recognize her at first, except for Brad Pitt on her arm.

    I think Diane Kruger looks the best (as always). She just exudes class with that perfect dash of quirkiness.
