WHO WORE WHAT?.....amfAR's 22nd Cinema Against AIDS Gala Red Carpet: Eva Longoria, Aishwarya Rai, Dita Von Teese, Mary J. Blige + More!




Le Celebs in Couture: (Clockwise, from the top) Dita Von Teese, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Marion Cotillard and Eva Longoria--2015 amfAR Cinema Against AIDS Gala 







Dita and Her French Boys: Dita Von Teese at the 2015 amfAR Cinema Against AIDS Gala, Cap d'Antibes, France (what is Kenneth Cole doing with his mouth and that bottle of water, inquiring minds want to know!!??)



In my previous post, I devoted the space to the Supermodels and what they wore to last night's 2015 amfAR Cinema Against AIDS Benefit Gala, now it's time to highlight the actresses--and a couple of singers. Now, I would be remiss not to mention the fact that a reported $30 million was raised to find a cure for AIDS and of note, the one-and-only Eva Longoria paid 540,000 euros ($600,000) for an Andy Warhol portrait of Miss Elizabeth Taylor. Bravo Eva! And now time for some of the Fashionably Fab Celebs at last night's Gala:





Dita Von Teese in Ulyana Sergeenko Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2015: I love this design from Russian socialite and fashion designer Ulyana Sergeenko. I don't know where Ms. Sergeenko is getting all the money to fund this enterprise (it costs a pretty penny darlings!) and frankly I may have a couple of guesses but I won't divulge them here. I just want to say that I liked this dress and I liked how Dita looked in this Ulyana Sergeenko Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2015 powder blue based silk satin dress with tea-cup shaped exaggerated peplum. It's also interesting how on the 5'11" Look Book model, the dress was tea length and on Miss Dita, it ended up being almost ankle-length.





Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in Elie Saab Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2015: Dubbed the "Most Beautiful Woman in the World", former "Miss World", actress and Bollywood icon, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan attended the 2015 amfAR Gala in this strapless ball gown from the Elie Saab Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2014 collection. The gown is EXQUISITE! It's completely hand-made, and features a nude colored silk organza base with a lilac sequined lace applique, and yes, kids, in case you are interested, it would probably set you back about $150,000 if you wanted to order it.





Eva Longoria in Georges Hobeika Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2015: Miss Eva Longoria donned a powder blue-colored gown from Lebanese fashion designer Georges Hobeika and his Georges Hobeika Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2015 collection. Now, notice that on the runway look, the dress was shown with a crinoline petticoat underneath (to emphasize the ball gown shape), but Eva (and her peeps) decided against that. What do you guys think? With--or without the under petticoat?





Marion Cotillard in Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2015: French actress Marion Cotillard wore this apple green silk satin column gown from Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2015 collection. This is a very simple gown that is made impeccably (it's Couture and all hand-made and would cost about $50,000 if you were to order it!). I thought she looked great.





Rita Ora in Marchesa Fall 2015: British singer Rita Ora wore this strawberry red-colors strapless gown designed by Marchesa from their Fall 2015 collection. When I first saw this photo I thought: "Is that Gwen Stefani??" and then I also thought "That's a lot of overdone dress for her!". What do you guys think? Overdone...Or just right?





Sienna Miller in Ralph Lauren Fall 2015: Sienna Miller wore this gold sequined/Lamé gown from Ralph Lauren Fall 2015. The dress is very "Dress 101" so with that, the fit has got to be PERFECT. And it is. If there's any critique, it's her deep red lipstick and makeup; she looks like she's had A LOT of Dirty Martinis from the neck up, but from the neck down, it's all good.





Mary J. Blige in Atelier Versace: Mary J. Blige wore this strapless ivory and sequined column gown from Atelier Versace. The gown fit and looked great on Mary J. I also loved the hair and makeup. What I don't like are the highlighter yellow neon nails. It's like, she wearing COUTURE yet her nails say "Low Rent". What do you guys think?

WHO WORE WHAT?.....68th Annual Cannes Film Festival Opening Ceremony Red Carpet: Sienna Miller, Karlie Kloss, Naomi Watts, Isabella Rossellini




Les Plus Belles: Red Carpet Goddesses at last night's 68th Annual cannes Film Festival Opening Ceremony Red Carpet (Clockwise, from the top: Sienna Miller, Naomi Watts, Karlie Kloss, Doutzen Kroes and Liya Kebede



Continuing with some of the Best Dressed of last night's 68th Annual Cannes Film Festival Opening Ceremony Red Carpet--here's a mix of actresses and models looking superFAB...let's begin with 2015 Cannes Jury Member, actress Sienna Miller:





Sienna Miller in Lanvin: Member of the Cannes 2015 Jury, actress Sienna Miller wore a very elegant navy blue column gown from Lanvin, designed by Alber Elbaz. The one shoulder gown featured an interesting twist knot/bow highlighting the shoulder.






Cannes 2015 Jury: (Left to right) Jake Gyllenhaal, Joel Cohen, Sophie Marceau, Rokia Traore, Ethan Cohen, Sienna Miller, Xavier Dolan, Guillermo del Toro, Rossy De Palma--Cannes 2015 Opening Ceremony Premiere of "La Tete Haute" Red Carpet





Supermodel Karlie Kloss in Atelier Versace Fall 2014: As a model, naturally, Karlie looks good in pretty much anything. Here she is in this original look from Atelier Versace Fall 2014 collection. The silver sequined hand-sewn Couture design is a pant/gown with an asymmetrical exposed side and bandeau and gold plated side belt/buckles. Yes, GOLD PLATED darlings. There's pretty much NO ONE--except for Liza Minnelli circa 1979--who could get away with wearing this kind of ensemble so Kudos to Miss Kloss.







Model Chic: Model Doutzen Kroes (left) wore an ivory silk crepe column one shoulder gown from Atelier Versace Spring 2015. The gown features a very daring torso "cut-out" and super-high side slit. Naturally, "Victoria's Secret" Supermodel Doutzen can pull it off. Next to her is model Liya Kebede in a short cocktail number from Louis Vuitton Fall 2015. The silver and gold silk lame dress was shortened (as you can see above in the photo) for Liya. I guess she wanted it a teeny bit more mini.





Actress Leila Bekhti in Giambattista Valli Couture: French film and TV actress of Algerian descent Leila Bekhti made quite an entrance in a Ballet Pink strapless gown from Giambattista Valli Haute Couture. The hi-lo silk duchesse ball gown was based on a look from the designer's Fall 2013 Haute Couture collection (see top photo, above), and features a long train, dramatic enough for the Cannes red carpet, with layers of tulle underneath giving it support.







Hofit Golan in Jean Fares Couture: I wasn't sure who Hofit was so naturally, I Googled her and THIS is what I came up with--She's a "socialite"/"spokesmodel"/TV reporter for FashionTV, and most notably, attends EVERY red carpet event she's invited to. And thank goodness for me, she's all done up in a couture like this above at last night's Cannes 2015 Opening Night Ceremony. Her gown is very frothy and very "Miss Universe". It's from Lebanese design company Jean Fares Couture. Hofit wears A LOT of Jean Fares' designs. The design company has this Facebook Page but no actual website. The nude tulle with black lace applique gown made quite an impression on the Cannes 2015 red carpet; I can only imagine how many yards and yards and yards of silk tulle were used on this creation.





Isabella Rossellini in Stella McCartney Custom: Attending the premiere of "Le Tout Haute" and Cannes 2015 Film Festival Opening Ceremony, Isabella Rossellini wore this white column silk crepe gown with attached multicolored cape. I love the bold colors and geo prints on the cape and the style is very "Alta Moda" and right for Isabella. The only thing is I wish it wasn't wrinkled in the front. But, what can you do, she probably sat in that limo for a very LOONG time before getting out to do the red carpet, and this was the result. Next time, lay flat Ms. Rossellini.





Naomi Watts in Elie Saab Haute Couture Spring 2015: One of my favorite red carpet moments from last night's Cannes 2015 Opening Ceremony was actress Naomi Watts in this gunmetal gray ball gown from Elie Saab Haute Couture Spring 2015. While many fashion amateurs may dismiss it as a "Gray Big Bird", I completely disagree; this is a stunning, very dramatic gown that has all the elements of a an entrance-making look perfect for Cannes...





The gown--which probably goes for $150,000+ in case anyone reading this is interested in ordering it--is completely hand-made with the top in a very thin silk chiffon covered in sequins while the skirt is in a heavy silk satin with hand sewn feathers. It's also a minor technological feat to achieve it plunging in the front and so open in the back; kudos to the Elie Saab atelier. I also LOVE that gorgeous necklace she accessorizes the gown with. Well done Naomi. Now, go return the gown back to Elie Saab safely and very carefully.
