How To Be Glamorous

I have come to the conclusion that the Cannes Film Festival is much better than the Oscars and the Costume Institute Gala.
Not only does it last a lot longer than one evening, it seems that the red carpet is always host to better gowns. Plus you are always guaranteed Natalie Portman and Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt! The woman who has caught my attention this year is Eva Longoria Parker, she may not be a Cate Blanchett or Julianne Moore with a deep, celebrated, and sophisticated relationship with fashion. But the lady is pure glamour!
Eva is shamelessly sexy (but not in a trashy Pussy Cat Dolls way) think glitter, colour and Versace.
She looked so stunning on the red carpet in Atelier Versace Spring 2008 (which was one of my favourite Versace collections ever!) that I imagine women of all ages turned into 5 year old girls, amazed at a super stylish woman or Disney Princess. Remember that feeling of awe?
Just look at these images and tell me you don't wish you were Eva right now...



Also looking amazing at Cannes:
There have been some amazing dresses on show so far but two of my favourites have been Bar Rafaeli in lilac - she gets points for making lilac look appealing - and Julianne Moore in Christian Lacroix couture.

It is said that Bar Refaeli´s gown (Alberta Ferretti) costs around 1.000.000$!
I also prefer Cannes Red Carpet than the Oscars or the MET. This is more glamurous

What about Cate Blanchett in Armani Privé?

I have to say I was well surprised when I saw Eva Longoria at Cannes. As super hot as I've always found her, I was never impressed by her clothing choices. But this French red carpet is been filled with glam by her!

Ps. Plus, the photographers at this event are much better than the usual american red carpet ones.

I miss the old Cannes. It was more independent then.

Eva looks glamourous, but Bar Rafaeli was the best until know!

Siljesfashion said...

Love Eva, shes got great style.

Genevieve said...

Thanks for your nice comment - I figured that they needed accounting of their immense wardrobes!

i find cannes way more exciting than the oscars. no one really knows about it but hollywood is catching on!

Carolina Lange said...

Eva looks great! And I love the dress Bar is wearing!!!

Cris Lazoru said...

What a true observation about Eva, I had never thought of it that way. She teaches how to be sexy without being trashy. More Hollywood should take note.

That was a rather dazzling Versace collection - a lot more triumphant and sophisticated than recent collections. But then again, I have a weakness for Versace so anything thrown my way with a label reading that name on it is bound to get a good review from me, lol.
Bar always looks quite beautiful, I think. Not sure about the furry straps of Julianne Moore's dress, though...
Who is the woman walking up the stairs in the blue dress?? Now THAT is a dress...

The Clothes Horse said...

Julianna Moore is my favorite--that dress, the color, the drape--this is why Lacroix is my favorite designer.

Trixy Tran said...

i totally agree!
eva looks GREAT -- even in paparazzi photos, she's always stunning and fashionable.

Juliet said...

The red of the carpet makes the dressing harder. It's not the easiest backround.

Jelenie said...

She looks great but she just completely annoys me. Please tell me again: what is she doing at Cannes?

I love Cate's blush coloured dress more.

discothequechic said...

i agree, there is something just so incredibly exciting about cannes.

and all the geniunely interesting people (okay, maybe with the exception of bar and eva..sorry girls..) make it out there.
