There should be an international law that Aishwarya Rai cannot wear anything that tries to distract from her face. I’ve already discussed how magnificently beautiful she is, but she really needs to keep it simple! This Ralph & Russo Couture gown is too much!! Aish attended last night’s Cannes Film Festival premiere of Youth, and while she was easily one of the most stunning women there, more people could have admired her beauty if she wasn’t wearing this crazy half-origami gown. PS… You know what else she needed? Darker lipstick.
Petra Nemcova in Zuhair Murad Spring 2015. The peplum kills it for me. If this had been a sleeker two-piece ensemble, like a fitted silk jacket with no peplum and a chiffon skirt, it would have worked a lot better.
Chanel Iman in Donna Karan Atelier. One of the few Donna Karan appearances at Cannes from what I’ve seen. I like it! It’s a good example of how to do that shiny satin really well. The fit is great, which is absolutely necessary.
Karlie Kloss in Louis Vuitton. I think I’ve hated every Louis Vuitton look so far at Cannes. This is no different. It’s totally wrong for this red carpet. Worn to a premiere in NYC? Sure, it would be fine. But it looks more like she’s just going to some after-parties rather than walking one of the biggest red carpets in the world.
Joan Smalls in Alaïa. She wasn’t the only one doing the midriff-bearing thing on this red carpet (Kendell Jenner did it too). I like Alaïa, but this doesn’t even seem like Alaïa. It’s too flouncy, not body-con enough. I’m just not feeling it.
Barbara Palvin in Versace. Yes, the skirt has some weird sheer panels. I like the idea of a younger model in classic black Versace, but I think the sheer sleeves might make this look too “mature” for her. She’s young enough to have hooked up with Justin Bieber (that happened a few years ago too). She shouldn’t be in a gown that I could easily see on Jane Fonda.
Lara Stone is some kind of hot mess in this vintage Gianni Versace gown. They probably opened up the archives for her, but this is not what they should have chosen for poor Lara. It doesn’t fit her!!!

Here are some photos from last night’s Cannes Film Festival premiere of Youth. I’ve heard very little about this movie, and I only really know that it stars Michael Caine, Harvey Keitel, Rachel Weisz and Paul Dano. Jane Fonda has some kind of role in it too. It’s mostly about Keitel and Caine though. But Rachel Weisz was the one stealing the show at the premiere! Rachel wore this rich emerald –teal Prada gown, accented with jewelry by Chaumet. Y’all know I have mixed feelings about Prada gowns for the most part. And those problems I have are evident in this gown. This could have looked really lux, but I feel like the “Prada Signature” is a messy bust and bad tailoring, and Rachel is not well-served here. The darting is also “off,” the stitching is puckered and the satin looks really bumpy in close-ups. Still, a gorgeous color on her. I’ve been loving the greens this year.
Jane Fonda went over-the-top in this Schiaparelli Couture gown. I’m not into it, mostly because of that neckline and the weird fuchsia wrap/skirt thing. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for Jane Fonda bringing some old-school glam to Cannes. I just think this look is messy.
Madalina Ghenea is in the movie, and she came to Cannes to try to steal Rachel’s thunder. If that name sounds familiar, it’s because Ghenea dated Gerard Butler for a while, then she dated Michael Fassbender for a short time. Call me a jealous hag, but I don’t like her whole vibe. The dress is pretty though.
Let’s end it on a nice note – I love Doutzen Kroes in this Mugler pre-fall look. Her styling is ON POINT.

Can I just say? I’ve really been enjoying Vanity Fair’s Cannes Film Festival coverage this year. Props to them. VF has a piece about how this year’s Cannes seems extra, extra glam, like everything is especially over the top. You can read the full piece here. In the midst of the piece, they quote Melanie Laurent – a veteran of many Cannes film festivals – about the vibe this year. Her reaction was pretty interesting:
Earlier in the night, we asked Melanie Laurent, the French actress and festival veteran who has hosted the opening- and closing-night ceremonies, about the aforementioned surreal swirl at the festival. She told us that the flashy, energetic atmosphere around some of the Cannes proceedings this year was not always the norm.
“I think we are going a bit too crazy,” Laurent told us on Monday. “I remember 15 years ago, it was more charming. Less crazy. Less almost vulgar. More respectful.”
She paused, and then added, “But I feel the same way for any other subject in the world.”
She may have had a point. As with any multi-national film festival, where deals are made and buzz is the coin of the realm, there’s a fine line to walk between glamour and excess. Over the course of one week, we’ve seen adults get into heated arguments over who gets to take the next helicopter home from a party. (“This is like a valet line for rich a–holes,” a fellow journalist deadpanned while watching.) We’ve overheard publicists debate which yacht party they would attend that evening. We’ve been invited to a Benicio Del Toro-hosted domino tournament D.J.’d by Paris Hilton that benefited Nepal. We have, we confess, been poured champagne from a rapper’s $300 bottle while sitting in a villa that looked like it may have hosted a Bachelor hot-tub orgy. We’ve witnessed men and women in black-tie drop all social graces upon learning that they’d be unable to get into a beach party. And this was all on the Croisette, where electronic music is pumping at all hours. (Amy Poehler joked in an interview with us this afternoon that she would only do press if there was disco music playing throughout her interviews. “The only time it is quiet at Cannes is between 9 A.M. and noon when people finally sleep.”)

Vulgarity? AT CANNES? While I never! It’s almost like the rich a—holes have taken over and all of the sheiks, Saudi princes, tech billionaires have invaded the South of France with luxury yachts, pillaging the film festival for nubile beauties willing to make some cash on the side. Oh, wait. That’s been happening for a while.

Stealin’ the spotlight from daddy!
NBA superstar Stephen Curry brought along his daughter Riley, 2, for his postgame interview — and the adorable tot stole the show.
Reporters asked the Golden State Warrior about his team’s 110 to 106 victory during Game 1 of the Western Conference finals against the Houston Rockets.
The adorable toddler – sporting an olive dress by nununu and a stylish headband – started interrupting dad, which prompted him to say, “You stand right there.”
“I want to sit on your lap!” she replied. As Curry, 27, attempted to continue the interview, Riley said: “You’re too loud, daddy! Be quiet.”
At one point, the tot ducked her head beneath the blue-clothed table.
The Golden State Warriors went on to Tweet a photo of Riley under the table.
“A picture truly is worth a thousand words,” the photo was captioned.

Curry later shared: “She is just like this! She’s only 2, it’s the craziest thing ever.”

Parents-to-be Ashlee Simpson and Evan Ross stepped out in Los Angeles, Calif. on Wednesday (May 20).
Looking radiant in a red print maxi maternity dress, the mom-to-be went shopping for baby supplies with her musician-actor hubby.
Last week, we spotted the pair lunching in Studio City.
On Mother’s Day, the newlyweds were seen with Ashlee’s 6-year-old son Bronx. The trio stopped for a snack run at a gas station in Calabasas.
The couple – who were wed Aug. 2014 – are expecting a girl. Ashlee welcomed Bronx with her ex-husband, Fall Out Boy rocker Pete Wentz.
