Day 3: Cate Blanchett in Givenchy : Cannes 2014:Red Carpet

Cate Blanchett wore a Givenchy Fall 2014 gown at the premiere of ‘How to train your dragon 2’ at the 67^th Cannes Film Festival. The gown featured a pleated chiffon skirt and an intricately embellished bodice in different colours. I love the front of the gown; but the back is a complete spoiler. The front does not complement the back. However, I love the modern feel of the gown and Cate wore it incredibly well.

Day 3: Naomi Watts in Marchesa : Cannes 2014: Red Carpet

Naomi Watts wore a Marchesa gown at the premiere of ‘How to train your dragon 2’ at the 67th Cannes Film Festival. The gown featured a sliding Grecian draped shoulder and crystal embroidery on the bodice. Naomi brings in an element of soft elegance on the Red Carpet in this powder blue gown. However, I felt the necklace was an unnecessary addition, as there is enough going on the bodice.

Day 3 : Clotilde Courau in an Elie Saab, America Ferrera in Georges Hobeika :Cannes 2014 :Red Carpet

Clotilde Courau wore a gorgeous Elie Saab strapless gown at the premiere of ‘How to train your dragon 2’ at the 67^th Cannes Film Festival. I love the contrast of the floral print and the dark colour of the gown, strong yet romantic.

Day 2:Hofit Golan in Gaurav Gupta :Cannes 2014:Red Carpet

Hofit Golan wore a gorgeous Gaurav Gupta gown at the premier of ‘Mr Turner’ at the 67^th Annual Cannes Film Festival. The custom made gold gown featured a plunging neckline .She looked elegant. On a different note, I do feel there is too much of gold going on there, kind of blended with her skin tone and accessories. Never the less, she looked gorgeous. What do you have to say folks?

Day 2:Cate Blanchett in Valentino :Cannes 2014:Red Carpet

Cate Blanchett wore an elegant Valentino Pre Fall 2014 sheer gown while attending the Choprad Trophy at the 67th Annual Cannes Film Festival. The metallic floral lace embroidery of the exquisite sheer gown made Kate look absolutely regal.The feathered short sleeves created a delicate feel. I love the harmony of her overall look. Easily one of the best dressed. J’adore!!!

Day 2:Sonia Rolland in Zuhair Murad :Cannes 2014:Red Carpet

Sonia Rolland wore a dreamy Zuhair Murad gown at the premiere of ‘Timbuktu’ at the 67th Cannes Film Festival. The beaded sheer gown with a romantic cape looked absolutely gorgeous on Sonia. I loved the illusionary element of the gown. Perfection!!!

Day 2: Julianne Moore in Louis Vuitton, Blake Lively in Chanel,Liya Kebede in Roberto Cavalli,Zoe Saldana in Jason Wu:Cannes 2014:Red Carpet

Now this is one edgy look on the red carpet. Julianne Moore wore a custom Louis Vuitton gown at the premier of ‘Mr Turner’ at the 67th Annual Cannes Film Festival. Though she carried the look to a certain extent, however, I am still not buying it. The red carpet glam quotient is completely missing. What do you have to say folks?

Day 1: Blake Lively looks stunning in a Gucci gown :Cannes 2014:Red Carpet

Uber-glam!!! Blake Lively looked stunning and was every bit of a diva in this beautiful Gucci gown at the premiere of ‘Grace of Monaco’ at the 67th Cannes Film Festival. The wine colour of the gown looked absolutely gorgeous on her. She rocked the red carpet with the right amount of sensuality and elegance. Impeccably styled, she completed the look with Lorraine Schwartz diamond earrings and bracelets. Easily one of the best dressed.

Day1: Zhang Ziyi in a futuristic gown from Stéphane Rolland Spring 2014 Couture :Cannes 2014:Red Carpet

Zhang Ziyi wore a futuristic dramatic gown from Stéphane Rolland Spring 2014 Couture collection at the premiere of ‘Grace of Monaco’ at the 67^th Cannes Film Festival. I love the drama, the contrast of the bodice and the skirt. Not many could carry this look, but Zhang made the unconventional and edgy gown work on her. I love her adventurous streak on the red carpet.

Day 1: Jane Fonda in an Elie Saab Fall 2013 couture gown :Cannes 2014:Red Carpet

And this is what you call ageing gracefully. The grand dame of Hollywood, Jane Fonda wore an Elie Saab Fall 2013 couture gown at the premiere of ‘Grace of Monaco’ at the 67^th Cannes Film Festival. Jane was ravishingly gorgeous and sexy in this delicate beaded long-sleeve gown. The gown fits her like a dream, what a gorgeous body. And yes, she is in her 70s.

Day 1:Nicole Kidman in a Armani Prive Spring 2014 gown :Cannes 2014: Red Carpet

Nicole Kidman wore a blue strapless Armani Prive Spring 2014 gown at the premiere of ‘Grace of Monaco’ at the 67^th Cannes Film Festival. The heavily embellished sweetheart neck gown looked good on Nicole but not exceptional. The colour of the gown perfectly complements Nicole’s skin tone.

Day 1 :Gong Li in a Roberto Cavalli Spring 2014 gown:Cannes 2014:Red Carpet

Gong Li wore a sheer Roberto Cavalli Spring 2014 gown at the premiere of ‘Grace of Monaco’ at the 67th Cannes Film Festival. The gown with detailed design and leather trim looked gorgeous on the actress. Though personally I am not a big fan of sheer, however, I feel Gong Li did justice to the gown. On a different note, the colour of the gown does not give a spring vibe.

Day 1: Paz Vega in Elie Saab, Zoe Saldana in Victoria Beckham & Carole Bouquet in Chanel:Cannes 2014:Red Carpet

Paz Vega looked stunning in an Elie Saab Spring 2014 Couture cocktail dress at the premiere of ‘Grace of Monaco’ at the 67^th Cannes Film Festival. The feminine floral and pearl detailing of the dress looked elegant.  Paz was pretty in this dress minus the Red Carpet drama. I found her choice of footwear somewhat boring. 

Day 1: Laetitia Casta in a Dior Spring 2014 couture gown:Cannes 2014 Red Carept

Laetitia Casta wore a Dior Spring 2014 couture gown at the premiere of ‘Grace of Monaco’ at the 67^th Cannes Film Festival. The gown with crystal and organza appliqué looked very shapeless on her and didn’t flatter her in any way. And what’s with those black pumps, a complete misfit. The back too looks quite boxy.

Day 1: Karlie Kloss in a Valentino Spring 2014:Cannes 2014 Red Carpet

And this is what one should never wear on the Red Carpet. Super model Karlie Kloss wore a Valentino Spring 2014 lace gown at the premiere of ‘Grace of Monaco’ at the 67^th Cannes Film Festival. The gown was not at all apt for Cannes Red Carpet and above all age appropriate.

Nicole Kidman in Altuzarra Fall 2014(Graceful except the Botox!) : Cannes Red Carpet 2014

So here it is, the first image from the Red Carpet of Cannes 2014. The biggest and the most awaited Red Carpet event of the year, Cannes 2014 starts from today and will continue till 25^th May 2014. Nicole Kidman attended the photocall of her movie ‘Grace of Monaco’ in a white Altuzarra Fall 2014 dress. I would say this is a good start on the Red Carpet. The crepe dress with side pleat sleet and slashed sleeves looked flawless on her and was a perfect choice for a photocall.
