Ah, Cannes. I really feel like Cannes has been kind of boring this year, but I have high hopes that things start picking up throughout the week. Brad Pitt’s movie premieres tomorrow. Nicole Kidman is due at the festival later on in the week – she’s always good for a fashion moment on the French red carpet. But for now, I’m making due with jury member Diane Kruger and some assorted British C-listers. First: La Kruger in Vivienne Westwood. OMG. I LOVE IT. I like when Diane goes full-on glam and doesn’t try to work an unconventional style. She’s so beautiful, and she really does try to change up her look from day to day, premiere to premiere. And I completely cosign everything about this – love her hair, love her makeup, love the corseted bodice of the Westwood gown, love it all. The shoes look like torture devices, but Diane pulls it off. Also – she was there with Joshua Jackson. How cute are they?
Ewan McGregor, just because.
Next: Cheryl Cole in Stephane Rolland Couture. I can’t say I’m wild about this, but you know how I feel about feathers in general, and feathered trains in particular. Plus, in many photos, the red feathers are the exact shade as the carpet, so there’s a weird effect of Cheryl looking like she’s erupting (in a volcano of feathers) onto the red carpet. Also: she still wears WAY too much makeup. There’s no need to spackle it on like that.
Kelly Brook was in Cannes too! The white dress is for a photo call, the printed jumpsuit is just her casual Cannes look. The white is pretty, although somewhat Kardashian-esque. The jumpsuit is terrible.

Diane used to be an actress and now is… hmm… very thin. That’s all I can say about her.
If you check out her imdb page you’ll see that she’s been working steadily for some time now, with two projects out this year. And I’d say this is pretty close to perfection, myself.
Thanks for the bonus Ewan McGregor! Always welcomed by me.
I like Cheryl Cole’s dress. If you have to wear feathers, this look is pretty. Much better than that monstrosity Beyonce wore.
How cute that Joshua Jackson holds the umbrella for his girlfriend. Love men with manners.
why does kruger’s dress remind me of stacy keibler’s oscar dress?
YES!
My same thought! But the Marchesa dress was worst in my opinion, because of that whirpool.
I disagree about Diane Krugar’s make-up. I’m not saying she needs to load it on but her face looks SO bare. Maybe a bit of a darker shadow on the eye or a bit more liner on the top lid? She needs something, she looks so washed out…
That jumpsuit looks exactly like the curtains my grandmother used to have in her living room when I was little.
Diane’s dress is beautiful on her, although it comes close to being too disco-ball for my taste.
Ronald McDonald was scalped to make Cheryl Cole’s dress.
Kelly Brook: fug x2
I agree with all three statements!
Diane Kruger looks stunning.
She has a fantastic stylist. I rarely see her papped in something I don’t like.
Also? Shout out to my girl crush, Kelly! One of the few women that looks better in a bikini than a red carpet dress.
She is one of the few who doesn´t have a stylist, which is why she is so amazing. Girl has a great great taste! 🙂
I agree!
I’m really trying to love it, but it reminds me too much of George Clooneys girlfriends Oscar dress.
Only a man would have designed that sheryl cole dress. For any other woman, that combination of colours and textures could only have a negative association. That is all I am saying about that.
So you agree she looks like a giant tampon soaking up a disintegrating uterine wall of red carpet?
Also, I’ve seen Diane’s dress on someone before and it’s bugging me who it was.
what’s with this feather craze? horrid.
Diane’s dress is fantastic, and she does look gorgeous in it. If she’d only stopped slouching, she’d be perfection. My only pet peeve – the WHITE lining visible thru the side slit! Come on, now, it ruins the whole effect. How the designer let it go that way is beyone me. Hate the shoes – BLACK with this dress? Whyyyy?????
Cheryl’s dress is absolutely fabulous. I am not much into feathers, but the whole set up here, with the darker beading and the lighter feathers, contrasted with the lilly white – to me it looks stunning, beautiful, and somehow ethereal. Even the train does not bother me here (though in general I am a ‘train-nazi’).
Kelly and the jumpsuit – what was she thinking? Makes her look dowdy (I guess she was going for bohemian, but took an unexpected uturn into the fug territory). And the sandals – seriously? Horrible!
Diane is sooo thin, it’s painful to watch.
Diane looks good; that dress is awesome and I’m always taken by Cheryl Cole’s beauty.
I guess all that rain in Cannes helped to flatted Ewan’s hair. I like it much better than what he had going on last week.
Thanks for the Ewan bonus shot. Much appreciated.
mmm, Ewan…..
Although I’m hoping it’s rain drops on his shoulders – and not giant dandruff!
Diane´s dress is beautiful, her face is pretty. But this woman has a very cold heart. Josh Jackson would confirm that if he was allowed to talk. The picture is not as perfect as it seems.
umm, yeah . . . like you know.
Ha-ha. YOU have no idea.
Diane is very beautiful, but her face and body has such sharp lines. Like you’d get cut if you were to hug/kiss her
Ha-ha, so true. So you´d better don´t (kiss or hug her).
Beautiful but to thin. With 10 pds on her she would look fantastic!
I am torn. The structure of the dress in relation to her body is perfection. Her makeup, flawless. I love the way the dress looks, I just don’t like the material. It’s saran wrap on steroids. But I can’t hate fully hate it. Her hair is a problem for me. Her face is really angular and I had to go back and see the photos again and change my opinion on it the hair. She should have worn her hair out for this look in curls.
I think Kelly Brook’s jumpsuit is better look than the white on her. The white dress made her look doughy.
Cheryl Cole. OKAY THIS IS WHERE YOU NEED WAIST CHING thingy. She has no shape what so ever. But her dress is so busy at the bottom that anything else will look even more ridick. Loose the feathers, put a purple ostrich belt on this, make this dress red and straight, and BOOM.
She kills it at Cannes. Remember that gold Calvin Klein number? Sometimes her style is a bit, um, advanced for me, but she crushes it at Cannes.
Ummm, am I the only one who thinks Cheryl’s dress looks like a used uh… tampon? Diane’s dress, on the other hand, is lovely although I would prefer to see it on someone else…
she’s incredibly stunning!!!! this girl has style…
