My Best Dressed From The Cannes Film Festival Week 1

Wednesday seen the beginning of The Cannes Film Festival's 70th anniversary. Each year - usually in the middle of May - celebrities flock to the French Riviera to preview new films from all around the world. It is also a chance for writers and directors to share new ideas with possible investors of their upcoming film projects. And of course it is another excuse for lots of celebrity parties - whether on land in a stunning French mansion or on water on a millionaires yacht - the Cannes Film Festival really is a star studded affair.

​So lets have a look at what and more importantly whom the stars were wearing as they graced the red carpet week 1 of the Cannes Film Festival!
​

Monica Belucci in Dior

As Mistress of Ceremonies Monica Belucci stunned in a uniquely designed Dior haute couture gown. Made from blue and black tulle the off the shoulder design was complemented with a Cartier necklace and sultry waves.

​Bella Hadid in Alexander Vauthier

Bella Hadid was a vision of glamour at the premier of Ismael's Ghost/the opening ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival in a custom made Alexander Vauthier strapless design. The dusky pink satin paired with Bulgari jewellery created an elegant look. Always the professional, Bella even managed to over come a wardrobe malfunction on the red carpet.
​

Emily Ratajkowski in Twinset

Emily Ratajkowski looked stunning as always in a custom made floor length Twinset dress at the premier of Ismael's Ghost/the opening ceremony. Like bestie Bella, Emily paired her champagne satin dress with Bulgari jewellery. The classy up-do and faux fringe completed the look.
​

Sara Sampaio in Zahair Murad

Sara Sampaio was a lady in red at the Ismael's Ghost premier/opening ceremony in a floor length Zuhair Murad gown. With a plunging neckline and fully embroidered embellishments this design is from the Spring 2017 haute couture collection.
​

Uma Thurman in Atelier Versace

Uma Thurman showed off her amazing figure in a custom Atelier Versace design at the premier of Ismael's Ghost/the opening ceremony. The classic off the shoulder silhouette in a blush tone worked well with minimal jewellery and Uma's blonde bob.
​

Lily Donaldson in Dior

Lily Donaldson looked the epitome of innocence at the Loveless premier. In a sheer Dior dress with an almost corset bodice and gathered tulle skirt. With minimal accessories and the look was completed with blonde tousled waves.

Emily Ratajkowski in Peter Dundas

Emily Ratajkowski made another appearance at the Loveless premier in a bespoke Peter Dundas design. This all black jumpsuit/gown really is unique. The lace jumpsuit showed off a little cleavage and with a gathered train created a the illusion of a ball gown.
​

Winnie Harlow in Zuhair Murad

Winnie Harlow stood out in this electric blue Zuhair Murad ball gown at the Loveless premier. The strapless design with a plunged neckline and full skirt draped in luxury silk. This design is from the Spring 2017 couture collection.
​

Rihanna in Ralph & Russo

Rihanna made her very first Cannes Film Festival appearance at a dinner she hosted to launch her jewellery collection with major jewellery designer Chopard. She wore a custom, all black Ralph & Russo gown and some jewels from her new collection to celebrate her new venture. The strapless, design made from tulle created a classic look styled with a sleek low bun.
​

Bella Hadid in Dior

Bella Hadid made yet another appearance at the Okja premier. In a quilted, red Dior gown. With thin spaghetti straps and floor length design Bella paired the dress with some more Bulgari jewellery. With her hair slick back in a ponytail with classic black winged eyeliner and a red lip to complement the dress.
​

Kendal Jenner in Ralph & Russo

Kendal Jenner finally made her Cannes appearance at the Chopard Space Party. Making an entrance in a custom made Ralph & Russo ankle length dress. Fully encrusted with crystals Kendal dazzled on-lookers even showing a lil side boob. A Chopard diamond necklace complemented the strapless dress.
​

Arizona Muse in Elie Saab

Elie Saab don't shy away from embellishments in their designs and this strapless design worn by Arizona Muse to the Chopard Space Party was no different. This fully embroidered and embellished, deep purple, sheer dress has amazing detail and paired with matching purple Chopard jewellery and slick back hair created an elegant look.
​

Sara Sampaio in Armani

Concluding my favourite looks from week 1 of the Cannes Film Festival is Sara Sampaio in a Giorgio Armani Prive jumpsuit. Veering from a classic gown Sara wowed on the red carpet of the 120 Beats Per Minute premier in this lilac, crystal embroidered jumpsuit with sheer ruffle detailing. Completing the look with slick back hair and Avakian jewellery.
