Red Carpet Roundup: We Cannes Do It 2013

Festival de Cannes, AKA Canz Film Festival for us terribly unchic Americans, has come to a close. Gone will be the shots of models, foreign TV presenters, people I've never heard of, and OH YEAH, ACTORS, hitting the red carpet on the Riviera. Much as the French like to think they are so above us seedy celeb-hungry Americans, they sure do love their red carpets too. And they also saturate a film festival red carpet with people who aren't even in films. The French, they're just like us!

There weren't really any wowsers for me this year, but there were a few standout pretty pretties, and a mystery woman who knocked it out of the park. Let's commence (a French word! See what I did there??).

All pics via The Cut.First we have the grand entrance: Only a billowy ballgown silhouette can make the cut, and these ladies nailed it: Solange Knowles in Stephanie Rolland Couture, Frieda Pinto in Gucci and Fan Bing Bing in the red carpet failsafe, Elie Saab Couture. (Apologies for the less-than-quality pics, but I'm mobile and not on my regular machine!)




Ooooh, pretteeeee. And while it's always a pleasure to see Bai Ling's whackadoo appearances, I'm afraid she was outdone this time, but one "mystery woman" who showed up in 2 spectacular outfits (one being made entirely of biscuit trays). I did some detective work and may have found the answer. She is either Larisa Katz, or these outfits were at least designed by her. Either way, bravo!

Next we have fabulous shades of sapphire with Kristin Scott Thomas, Milla Jovovich, Jessica Chastain in Givenchy, and Emmanuelle Riva. Technically Jessica's in purple, but CAN YOU BLAME ME???

And last but not least, I've included 2 purely for my own enjoyment: Pudsey the dog and CLIVE OWEN. You're welcome!
