Who Dressed Best At Cannes?

I've never been so excited to conjure up a best-dressed list. You know why? Because Cannes is glamour, elegance, class, and little bit of rebellion personified. It's a place so classy that being dressed to the nines is a must (whether you're a regular person or a celebrity). Though they all have stylists, these celebs still deserve credit for rocking these beautiful looks. Even the ones who usually make odd red carpet choices looked drop-dead gorgeous at Cannes this year. I'm talking to you Anna Kendrick (though I love her anyway). Some women like Kristen Stewart, Blake Lively, and Kendall Jenner had a few rockstar looks at Cannes and one can only imagine the difficulty of selecting just one. However, I approached the task with fervour and I have come up with a list of mouth-watering, eye gaping, choices. Ready?
NUMBER 10
Naomi Watts in Armani Prive
 Although Naomi Watts always seems to be rocking the same strapless form-fitting Armani Prive look at every event, she consistently looks stellar doing it. This is a woman who knows her body and what works for her. Consequently, she is also always a best-dressed contender.

NUMBER 9
Barbara Palvin in Philosophy Di Lorenzo Serafini
Anyone who wears Philosophy is immediately on my best-dressed list. Barbara Palvin looks feminine, pretty, and super on trend in this pale pink ruffled gown. My girly side is beyond excited about it.

NUMBER 8
Jessica Chastain in Alexander McQueen
Though Jessica Chastain looked stunning in her yellow Armani dress, this has to be my favourite. From the tassled waves to the embellished gown, Chastain is so 1920s chic with a mix of old Hollywood. I'm completely obsessed.

NUMBER 7
Karlie Kloss in Marchesa
If you're going to wear black, it better be va-va-voom. Take a hint from Karlie Kloss. THIS is how you rock black at Cannes.

NUMBER 6
Jourdan Dunn in Ralph & Russo
Who doesn't look stunning in a full-skirted floor length gown? Obviously, Jourdan Dunn got it right in this beautiful Ralph & Russo that can't be described in any other way but dreamy.

HONOURABLE MENTION: Ruffled black Dsquared
I'm simply in love.

NUMBER 5
Blake Lively in Vivienne Westwood
Apparently princess gowns were popular at Cannes this year. Though Blake Lively wore an abundance of beautiful gowns/jumpsuits that showcased her slight baby bump, I'm a sucker for a Cinderella dress. How can I resist those cake-like ruffles?

NUMBER 4
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in Alexandre Vauthier Couture
Don't you want to swing around in that dress? I know I do. I think it's clear to see that red is Rosie's colour. Though she looks gorgeous in almost everything, she shines even brighter in red. Also, that flower at the neckline is simply perfect.
via eonline.com
NUMBER 3
Amal Clooney in Atelier Versace
Can Amal Clooney do any wrong on the red carpet? The answer you're looking for is no. Though this dress is simple, she looks like a greek goddess and the slit is the perfect way to showcase her super classy shoes (not shown here). Breathtaking.

NUMBER 2
Kendall Jenner in Cavalli Couture
This has got to be my favourite naked dress of all time (and there have been many). There is so little going on here yet so much at the same time. I'm not even sure how that's possible, but I'm flabbergasted. This is STUNNING (caps intended).
via usmagazine.com
NUMBER 1
Bella Hadid in Cavalli Couture
Clearly, Cavalli won Cannes this year. I can't even imagine a more perfect dress on Bella Hadid. From the very expensive looking diamonds ornamenting her neck to this body-hugging gown, this look is red carpet gold.

#IconCity: Let's Talk About Miranda Kerr

In light of recent news about the Orlando/Bieber/Kerr love triangle, let's talk about Miranda's amazing sense of style. Miranda Kerr is basically the Australian Victoria Beckham due to her timelessly classy looks and her inability to have an outfit fail. Her VS model status makes her the woman every other woman wants to be and every man wants to be with. Her sophistication and allure are communicated through her every outfit no matter the occasion. Though we missed her at this year's VS fashion show, she remains an icon to all of us.

Here are some of her best looks.

LOOK 1
Miranda looks effortless in a basic pair of black jeans and a white tank top. That punch of gold gives this look a sassy twist.

LOOK 2
Beige is anything but boring on Miranda. Adding a punch of baby blue to this look, she keeps it unpredictable. Ps. It's Victoria Beckham. Point made.

LOOK 5
Who doesn't love an amazing cape? Miranda looks stunning in this one draped over her bold printed dress.

What do you think of these looks? Which is your favourite?

TGIF!

#IconCity: Diane Kruger Class Monster

I have a confession to make. I only recognize Diane Kruger as a style icon. Today, I found out she's actually an actress. As a matter of fact, she played in Inglorious Bastards and I happen to have seen that movie. In my personal opinion, her fashion status surpasses her actor's status. I don't think she'd be pleased to hear that, but some compliments are bittersweet. Kruger is my definition of the Chanel woman, a chic and sophisticated beauty with just enough edge to satisfy Lagerfeld. What makes her an icon is that sometimes you love it and she's on every best-dressed list and sometimes, it's not your cup of beer. Generally speaking, she's almost ALWAYS on my list. And for that, she deserves to reign in IconCity alongside Victoria Beckham.

Here are some of her best looks:
LOOK 1

Diane Kruger defines elegance in a white Carven top and red leather Vanessa Bruno skirt. I love the juxtaposition of the crop top with red hot leather. Somehow, as a composition this look perfectly chic.

LOOK 2

Anyone who wears Balmain is a fashion icon in my book and Kruger is no exception. Can I buy this off you please?

LOOK 3

Diane Kruger makes menswear look feminine and classy. That's my kind of woman. P.S It's Chanel. Obviously.

LOOK 4

This woman can do no wrong. Looking breathtaking in this Jason Wu gown at the 2011 Met Gala, "Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty", she pulls off the Angelina leg better than Angie herself!

LOOK 5

Did I mention Diane Kruger is my favourite menswear to womenswear dresser of all time? She may be wearing a vest, but it has that classic charm only fit for a woman. This 3.1 Phillip Lim Tuxedo dress is definitely envy-worthy.

Choosing my favourite Diane Kruger looks was nearly impossible, but these are some of the ones that make the top of my list. In a battle between her and Beckham, well, let's just say I'd be raiding both their closets in a nano-second.

Toodles,

Bella
