Cannes 2016 is in full swing this week. Every year, the French town becomes host to filmmakers and stars that come out for the most prestigious film festival in the world. We get a chance to see gorgeous fashion and glamorous dresses as actors and actresses make their way onto the Cannes red carpet. Throughout the years, there have been a bevy of beautiful looks that have made the festival all the more special. Below are my picks for the best Cannes dresses of all times. Check them out and be sure to let me know which dress is your favorite in the comments section.

Last year, Lupita Nyong’o donned this beautiful Gucci number on the red carpet. She made sure to make a photo worthy entrance as she twirled around on the red carpet.

Elizabeth Taylor attended Cannes in a tiara and gloves because—well, she’s Elizabeth Taylor. She does what she wants! Either way, this look definitely made a statement. 

Loving this Chanel Haute Couture dress on Julianne Moore. She really sparkled in this look. 

Audrey Hepburn wore a stunning cap-sleeve dress to Cannes way back in the day. Check it out below. 

My beautiful, Eva Longoria made a statement in Marchesa. 

Sophia Loren beams as she leaves the festival. If I was in that dress, I’d be beaming too! 

Joan Smalls strikes a pose in Givenchy. Love that sheer skirt! Gorgeous.

5 of my Most Stylish Film Moments

Movies have the ability to transport us to another world. They do this with the help set designers, editors and, most importantly, costume designers. Costume designers bring the look of the film together and figure out exactly what certain characters should look like. Some costume designers have been able to go above and beyond in order to create character’s whose style becomes iconic. Check out some of the most stylish film characters of all time according to me. Let me know what you think in the comments section.

Breakfast At Tiffany’s, anyone?

Cleopatra- If you’re going to play the Queen of The Nile, you’re going to have to look fabulous.

Clueless

Carrie Bradshaw- We went to go watch the Sex and The City movies for the sex, the girls, but most importantly the style. I will always adore Carrie’s wedding look. She looked stunning.

The Devil Wears Prada brought us one of the best fashion montages and makeovers of all time with Andy Sachs rocking more designer names than I could count.

Let me know !! xx

AUDREY HEPBURN STUNS IN BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY’S .... WHY ?

One of the most beautiful movies to come from the 1960’s, Audrey Hepburn stars as a dreaming girl who lives life in a frivolous, yet down to earth manner in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Here are the top reasons that her character, Holly Golightly, is easily on the top of my list for most amazing fictional characters ever!

She Eats What She Want

All too often we see women feeling pressured into eating the “diet foods”…not Holly! She eats what she wants when she wants it! Eating donuts and coffee first thing in the morning? OK!

She Dresses in Style

For a woman to be expected to keep up her appearance isn’t as required today as it was back in the 60’s. A woman who chooses to value herself and show that outwardly by taking the time to style herself is a confident forward thinking woman in my mind.

She Decorates in New Ways

There has never been a film with a bathtub couch before Audrey Hepburn debuted this gorgeous piece of furniture in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Why not take a chance – go with what YOU like!

She Never Stops Dreaming

Even while she may not be able to afford the luxury of Tiffany’s, she never gives up on her dream! And when she comes close to fulfilling her dreams, she appreciates every little step along the way.

She Never Underestimates the Power of Red Lipstick

Even when everything around you feels like it’s crumbling down, flip open your mirror, uncap your lipstick, and pucker up because everything is going to be all right. It’s psychologically proven that the color red ignites emotions of confidence and a “make it happen” attitude.

She Rocks the Timeless Monochromatic Trend

While our style calendar may be experiencing a rebirth of this trend, Audrey Hepburn knew how to rock this look long before it graced any catwalk. Take it from the pro – pair your girly separates in black and white for a flawless look.

What do you think – does she win in your mind? Let me know your thoughts on this super classy lady in the comments below! xo
