Last night was the premiere of Melancholia, the Lars Von Trier film that looks awful. So awful that Lars Von Trier said a bunch of crap about Nazis and then got banned from the film festival. So awful that between Kiki Dunst and Charlotte Gainsbourg, barely anyone cares. And only Charlotte Rampling comes out ahead. Many of you liked Kiki’s mustardy dress at the photo call yesterday, and I have to say, she did pull it off. However, for the premiere, she wore this tragic Rodarte. I think this junk looks like upholstery. And cheap upholstery at that. But I’ll give Kiki credit – she looks “put together”. She doesn’t look wasted and like she just threw something on. Her makeup and hair are gorgeous, it’s just the dress that I hate.
Meanwhile, CB and I were arguing about Charlotte’s ensemble. I kind of like it, because I’ve watched Charlotte’s style evolution through the years, and this is one of her sexiest looks, in my opinion. She usually dresses kind of hipster, lots of Marc Jacobs and high collars and not a lot of skin showing. So this is new – and I love that she did it while super-pregnant. CB thinks it’s kind of trashy and fug, and most fashion sites agree. WHATEVER. I like it.
Seriously, Rampling wins!

Um, Charlotte, no. Although I would have loved Kirsten’s dress had it ended just before that ruffle skirt at the bottom. Her makeup is perfect, though, she looks absolutely gorgeous.
Oh man, Charlotte Rampling is still a gorgeous woman! Love her. The other Charlotte isn’t bad, too: I like her natural beauty, she looks a lot like her mother (luckily). Dunst, no interest in her.
I think they both look like sh*t!!!
It’s a strange dress but Kirsten looks good IMO. The dress looks way better from the waist up. That fabric at the end is weird. I have to say that Charlotte’s look is not very red carpet but that’s her style. Rampling looks very elegant.
And btw, Melancholia reviews have been mostly positive.
So, I know that being that pregnant has got to be uncomfortable, but did she really have to wear her curtains on the red carpet?
She honestly could have stayed home.
Charlotte Rampling is an AMAZING actress.
Plus she could make a garbage bag look elegant.
Fashion is the epitome of “the eye of the beholder” but someone CALL A PARAMEDIC FOR KAISER!!!! Charlotte’s web consists of a slip, bra, and shear drapery. It must be by definition (Webster’s 23rd Edition) the most God awful agglomeration of fabric I have ever seen and the fact that she’s pregnant….well, Gaga would blush.
Her shoes are interesting.
Charlotte Rampling looks better than both of them and she is twice or three times their age. Charlotte looks tatty. Kirsten looks like a frump.
Kikis dress would have looked tons better if they had cut it above the knee.
I’m not a fan of Charlotte’s either-it just looks really sloppy.
Don’t like Charlotte’s what-ever it is and I am liking the top part of Kirsten’s dress but hate from below the boobs down, her hair and make-up was good.
Ugh! to CG, and they say french women have style. I find her very unfortunate looking.
I like them both. Kiki’s Cannes fashion has been great and I love the idea of sheer black on a pregnant lady. Only if her bra wasn’t showing, I always find that too distracting in an outfit.
love kiki from the bust up lol. the top of that dress is petty ,the rest is meh. Chrlotte on the other hand..words can not express.
What the hell does Charlotte have on it looks like something a crack out blind hooker would wear, I say blind hooker because I can’t imagine a person with sight would wear that and does she only own one pair of shoes.
Kaiser@ what are you smoking that you think she looks good?
Good God that black thing is monstrous and tacky. Hideous. If she had lucite heels I’d think it was from the Shuana Sand collection. Kiki looks good and the dress, while not a silhouette I generally like, is surprisingly interesting and seems to fit impeccably. Kiki wins by a country mile.
Is Charlotte wearing the same shoes from yesterday?
Charlotte looks like she should be in the delivery room, not on a red carpet…ugh!!
Charlotte’s shoes are horrendous, and Dunst’s dress looks Ok from the waist up, but on the bottom uffff.. not feeling it, the overall look is good though.
How in the world can you guys think that Charlotte looks elegant? She couldn’t be bothered to brush her hair, put some makeup on, or NOT show her bra. FAIL.
I love Kiki’s look! A fun, original, adventurous dress.
Personally, I feel that a lady must choose whether to wear a see through shirt, or a see through bra, and usually she should chose neither.
It pains me to critique Ms.Gainsbourg because I am a fan, but this is one of the cheapest, sloppiest, ugliest looks I have ever seen from her. How does one decide to start showing skin (and quite dramatically) only 9 months into pregnancy? I hate what she is wearing so much, that I’d seriously prefer wearing a MuuMuu, or a tent.
I love Charlotte G.’s attitude, a dress like that on a pregnant woman is kind of funny. Kirsten’s gown is, well, horrid, but I like the hair and make up.
Charlotte Rampling wins.
@ Heavenbound,
She IS half-English.
*Waits for tomatoes*
I love Kiki’s dress! She looks incredible!
Is that pregnant one wearing a see-through dress? I am sorry but that is not appropriate – that is trashy!!!
Charlotte Gainsbourg looks ridiculous, like she literally got out of bed and threw a gauzy wrapper over her lingerie, and then went to a premier. I don’t LIKE Kirsten Dunst’s dress, but at least it’s interesting. Actually, I do like the fabric at the top, I just don’t think it works in that style. It would make a knockout tailored dress that you could wear instead of a suit.
charlotte rampling for the win.
I like Charlotte Gainsbourg, and I love pregnant ladies in general, but sadly she just looks atrocious. I understand that when you’re hugely pregnant it’s hard to find something comfortable and flattering, but come on. Wearing your sheer curtains over a $10 sheer bra and the same shoes you wore yesterday while not bothering to even brush your hair is not acceptable. People often think very pregnant women tend to look ‘sloppy’ anyway, so I always try harder to look nice and put together–and to keep skin covered.
Glad to see Kiki’s keeping up the boob support trend! I’ve always felt sorry for her poor unsupported girls, I’m sure they’re happy they’re up where they’re supposed to be, too. LoL
Fug meets fug.
cg-good idea (altho its not my personal taste) but poor execution..maybe if it was a shirt that covered her boobs so it didn’t show her bra and then got sheer further down. instead of a sheer robe over a bra like this
i love kd’s makeup here and i love the green color of the dress on her..ita with many of you here that on the bottom its really icky
that pregnant lady’s dress is not just inappropriate,it’s misshaped,frumpy and every bad thing u can think of.
@Kaiser;whatever you’re smoking must be very good and i want some of it.lol
I think Kiki’s hair, make-up, and skin look great here. The dress, meh. I also think she looked great in the yellow dress at the photo call.
But I am WAY MORE IMPRESSED with how she conducted herself throughout that extremely awkward interview. I don’t think she’s generally given enough credit.
I like Kiki’s dress, she beautiful.
While Charlotte’s is fug. totally. ugh.
Hm, I really like that gown on Kiki for some reason and I thinks he looks fantastic – very well put together here. But for the lace bra and shoes I don’t mind Charlotte’s outfit.
Kirsten looks perfect. I could live without the bottom ruffle, but otherwise it’s excellent.
That see through dress is horrible.
So, French gossip says that Charlotte separated from her husband because he was jealous of Pete Doherty with whom she was in confession d’un enfant du siècle..
Kirsten’s dress looks really nice on her in the waist up, but the ruffle at the bottom I think is the thing that makes the dress so wonky. Makeup and hair were flawless, and I really like how her hair looked here than in the yellow-y dress. Could just be that it is evening as apposed to daytime or wearing darker colours, but the colour looks better.
Charlotte…oy vey. It isn’t really horrible, but it is still pretty bad. I find it to look most like a robe one would throw on for a day in, though with a sheer top. I guess maybe she is embracing her pregnancy or something, but she could have had a better dress – I think in general I don’t like when a dress shows off the bra, even more so when they’re pregnant. I wouldn’t go so far as to say the dress looks trashy, though. But it isn’t too tasteful, either.
Charlotte looks a hot mess.
I love Kiki’s dress until you get to the ruffles. Why? Seriously, why was it necessary?
‘Lemon Incest’ wasn’t half so terrifying as this.
Dunce is looking good in those pictures.
Some other recent pictures? Not so much. She must be a two face.
kirstin looks good, lol at the see through, it takes guts to wear that,… so that’s something right?
I actually think this is the best Kiki’s looked in a long time.
I thought that dunst’s dress was pretty fug until I scrolled down and saw that maternity mess. WTF? It’s disgusting.
everyone looks horrible, the pregnant chick looks tacky. Dunst’s dress is ugly, because of the ruffle but her face def looks better.
I think it would have worked better at a shorter length. That’s a lot of dress, with that strange heavy texture. She looks pulled together though, which is a lot more than I can say for Charlotte.
IMO, the question should be worded, “Who looks worse?”
That Rodart is amazing- Kirsten looks so great here, I just don’t know what happened with Charlotte. The whole enesemble just looks like a mess.
Gainsbourg looks a mess, her top could be lined with another delicate sheer fabric, in more strategic places, and still look edgy, not pregnant mom wearing boudoir attire to Cannes! She usually looks great but this is a fail imo.
Some things really need a warning label~
Wow, Kirsten Dunst actually looks good! I’m so used to her looking dumpy and crappy, I had forgotten she can look decent. Charlotte’s dress is risky but unique and I think I like it too. I’d bet it’d look really awesome on her when she’s not pregnant too.
i actually love kiki’s dress…
If kirsten’s dress was slimmed down to fit like a glove and the ruffle removed, she’d look like a star. But she always has…odd style choices. At least she isn’t very boring. It’s nice to see her back to form.
Kiki looks gorgeous!!!
Charlotte looks like trash to be frank! So sad considering how stunning she is but this outfit is ugh!!!
I’ve actually heard many great things about Melancholia…
Askarsgard should upgrade from the Bos to Kiki- I’m just sayin….
