Carla Bruni – Celebrity About

When in Cannes, expect the unexpected, fashion-wise at least. Marion Cotillard is a regular at Cannes and it’s like she saves up all of the wacky ensembles for this one film festival. These are photos of Marion at the De Son Vivant (Peaceful) premiere at Cannes. This Chanel gown is a lot. I actually like the color of the denim and I love the “print” on the denim. But the actual design and construction is straight-up Sister Wife, correct? Combined with Marion’s Michelle Duggar hair, she looks like she’s part of some French Mormon-breakaway cult led by a charismatic leader named Jeddhosaphah. I’d like to take this same printed denim and maybe make this into a sundress? That would be so much better.

Bonus Marion at one of her many photocalls… I’m assuming this is Chanel too. The overalls have a nice construction but this outfit is pretty terrible too.

Virginie Efira is Belgian and really beautiful. She wore a caped Dior to the Benedetta premiere. I generally find blondes-in-beige/off-white to be pretty boring but this is just the right shade and just the right dress. One of my favorite looks of the festival, honestly.

Jessica Chastain and Maggie Gyllenhaal attended the Chopard event at the festival. Jessica’s gown is Valentino, and Maggie’s Versace. Maggie loved her gown to several events, that’s how much she liked this one. As she should – it’s a great dress. I love Jessica in green but I loathe the cutouts on the side of the bodice.

Adèle Exarchopoulos in Fendi. I fear this would be me in Cannes: “Do you just have a simple pantsuit or something?” She looks over it. But chic.

Tina Kunakey (Mrs. Vincent Cassel) in Valentino at the Benedetta premiere. It was a big look and I enjoyed it!

Carla Bruni in a simple black column dress, looking chic. Look, the gown has pockets!!

Sean Penn is in Cannes to promote Ham-Face: The Musical! No, I jest. He’s promoting Flag Day, which is getting surprisingly great reviews. He directed the film and it’s based on a true story of a counterfeiter and con man (played by Sean Penn) and his relationship with his daughter, played by Sean’s real daughter Dylan Penn. Katheryn Winnick plays the mom – she wore Stella McCartney. Dylan wore Chanel.

The Cannes Film Festival is upon us, better late than never. Every year, Cannes is usually held in May, but after cancelling the in-person festival last year, organizers decided to simply push back this year’s festival until right now, the start of July. After several weak years and complaints that Cannes was “over,” everyone seems completely thrilled to be back on the Promenade de la Croisette. The first photocalls and the first premiere were held yesterday and it’s just so much fun to look at pretty people being pretty in interesting clothes. Speaking of, this is Bella Hadid in a Jean Paul Gaultier look from one of his 2002 collections. So, just shy of vintage. Still, she looked like she loved the gown and she really worked the red carpet.

Maggie Gyllenhaal wore a custom Celine which, honestly, is kind of a snooze? She looks amazing in bolder colors.

Speaking of bolder colors, here’s Helen Mirren, dripping in jewels and clothed in a saffron Dolce & Gabbana. She pulls off the color and the epic jewels, but the designers behind D&G are f–king terrible and people just need to stop wearing these clothes.

Jessica Chastain wore Dior. I wonder if this was her second choice after she spilled something on the first choice? This gown screams “back-up gown.”

Marion Cotillard wore Chanel Fall 2020 Couture. She really loves that kind of “fish scale” pattern, she’s always drawn to gowns like that. She’s posing with Angèle, who is so ~~French~~ Belgian that she makes thick bangs look chic.

Jodie Foster is in Cannes to receive the Lifetime Achievement Award. She looks incredible in every photo I’ve seen of her – she’s letting her grey hair come in and it looks so good. She also went with really simple silhouettes for her Cannes looks, like this custom Givenchy. Jodie brought her wife/partner Alexandra Hedison too!!
