Mônot @ amfAR Gala Cannes 2022

Cindy Bruna -Mônot @ amfAR Gala Cannes 2022

As we all know, when Eli Mizrahi dresses an event in his Mônot designs, he rolls deep.

Cindy Bruna, Claire Foy, Eva Longoria, Nina Agdal, Nina Dobrev, Isabeli Fontana, Cara Delevigne, Zoey Deutch, Sabrina Carpenter, Indya Moore, Winnie Harlow and Pom Klementieff all wore custom or runway Mônot designs for the amfAR Gala Cannes 2022 which took place at the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc on Thursday (May 26) in France

I mean.

What does one say about Cindy Bruna in this custom Mônot Spring 2022 gown other than god clearly has favourites?

Granted.  It’s nothing we haven’t seen before, as Saweetie wore the runway version to the Elton John Oscar party, but this version on Cindy leaves me speechless.

Sometimes you just have to appreciate greatness.  I much prefer this over her Giambattista Valli pink tulle gown.

Wow.  Just wow.

Chopard jewels completed her look.

Mônot Spring 2022
Claire Foy Mônot @ amfAR Gala Cannes 2022

I bet many of you were holding your breath when you saw Claire Foy’s name on the Mônot table, considering the overt sexual nature of the designer pieces.

But you can breathe a sigh of relief that her chiffon gown doesn’t lean into the designer’s usual aesthetic.

It kinda reads more Monique Lhuillier than Mônot to me, but a custom dress should reflect the style of the wearer.

The British actress completed her look with Aquazzura Olie embellished sandals and Chopard jewels.

Eva Longoria

Eva Longoria continued her love affair with black dresses at this festival, wearing a Mônot custom gown with Aquazzura Moon Crystal sandals.

Nina Dobrev Mônot @ amfAR Gala Cannes 2022

Nina Dobrev wore a fire custom Mônot flame red gown.

I’m here for it all.  The single built-in glove, the double cut-outs and sultry nature of it all.

Considering how well-endowed Nina is, I do wonder if they needed to nip in the waist a little more to give her a tad more support.

I’ve never been a fan of necklaces with asymmetrical necklines, so I wish she opted out of wearing the Messika choker.

Jimmy Choo ‘Sanza’ silver sandals completed her look.

Nina Agdal Mônot @ amfAR Gala Cannes 2022

In terms of impact, Nina Agdal’s Mônot dress didn’t quite grab my attention like the other dresses on this red carpet.

She tried to lift it with the magenta sandals, but it didn’t help.

Mônot @ amfAR Gala Cannes 2022

As you know I’m the first to make noise about celebrities not being more creative with their footwear, but I feel that her bubble-gum pink ALEVí Milano heels were at odds with Isabeli Fontana’s Mônot Fall 2022 two-piece look.

Ankles up this is giving me Lara Croft. Ankles down Legally Blonde.

Do you agree?

Mônot Fall 2022

My issue with Cara Delevingne’s custom Mônot Fall 2022 dress is the obvious taping to her body.

It was wise to prevent a nip slip considering how animated she can be at these events, but surely there is a more effective way to make it less obvious.

Mônot Fall 2022

Zoey Deutch also wore a deep plunging Mônot Pre-Fall 2022 design, but her halter dress was a far more successful outing glamour wise.

Messika jewels completed her look.

Sabrina Carpenter was sailing close to the wind in her custom Mônot Spring 2022 black and white cut-out dress.

This looks great on the red carpet, but I’m intrigued how one successfully sits in this.

Casadei platforms completed her look.

Mônot Spring 2022

I love how Indya Moore took the silver trim from her Mônot dress and built a whole story with her accessories which included Rene Caovilla sandals.

Winnie Harlow

Winnie Harlow rocked the same Rene Caovilla sandals in black which worked with the peek-a-boo nature of the corset on her custom Mônot two-piece look.

Pom Klementieff brought her edgy style to the Mônot table.

I would’ve expected her to opt for a black dress, but she looked divine in this red cut-out dress.

This is one of my favourite looks from her.

Even the Bvlgari necklace works here.

Who was your favourite Mônot girl?
