The Cannes Film Festival is finally over and done with, and we now have a few months to recover for the double-whammy of Venice and Toronto. First, let?s get to the Cannes Film Festival?s winners. While Jennifer Lawrence left Cannes with a lot of awards-season buzz, she did not pick up an acting award for Die, My Love. The acting awards went to Wagner Moura for The Secret Agent (a Brazilian film) and Nadia Melliti for The Little Sister. The Palme d?Or (the grand prize of the festival) went to an Iranian film, Un Simple Accident. The runner-up prize, the Grand Prix, went to Joachim Trier?s Sentimental Value. The Jury Prize went to two films: Sirt and Sound of Falling. Distributor Neon has now won the Palme d?Or six years in a row. Incredible.
Now, let?s get to the fashion. The last days of Cannes were surprisingly great when it came to fashion moments, too bad that most people were already burned out from all of the Z-listers traipsing around in terrible gowns. Let?s start with the queen, Cate Blanchett, who wore a custom Louis Vuitton. Why doesn?t LV make this kind of dress for their brand ambassadors, huh?
More fashion notes: Simone Ashley?s Vivienne Westwood dress is a DREAM and all of the fashion girls are obsessed; Viola Davis stunned in Gucci; Elle Fanning?s Chanel fairy-princess look is on brand, but I think she could do better; I?m not crazy about Aubrey Plaza?s Miu Miu or Margaret Qualley?s Chanel; Halle Berry (Cannes jury member) ended the festival in Dior, which was good except for the shoulders; Gillian Anderson?s Emilia Wickstead dress is truly one of my favorite dresses ever, that shade of green, the way she styled it, the cut, it?s all perfect.
