Cannes Film Festival Opening Ceremony


The Cannes film festival is one of the most glamorous events in the showbiz calendar, but even the French Riviera couldn't escape the unseasonably dreary spring weather. The Hollywood elite were left with damp gowns after the Cannes Film Festival's opening ceremony was showered by rain and hit by windy weather ruining their well-planned red carpet looks.

The event didn't disappoint when it came to the fashion!  The dresses and makeup on the stars were of course impeccable. I haven't previously made many posts on red carpet events although I love to keep updated on what all the stars wearing.  Red carpet events are a great marketing strategy for designers and therefore it is crucial that the designers get the top A- Listers wearing there dresses for the big event.

Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan and Nicole Kidman were among the A List stars who were left drenched and clutching onto umbrellas for dear life on Wednesday night as they made their way across the sodden red carpet.





My favourite look for the night was Australian actress Nicole Kidman, the star looked gorgeous in a strapless, floral-embroidered Christian Dior frock from the Spring 2013 Couture collection. The 45-year-old accessorised the dress with a Ferragamo clutch and pink patent shoes.

But it was the Hollywood star's hairstyle that stole the show - she combined sleek sides with a bouffant-like voluminous section across the centre of her head and ponytail at the nape of her neck. I can defiantly see this hairstyle becoming a very popular trend next season.







Actress Freida Pinto, of Oscar-winning Slumdog Millionaire fame, looked elegant in red Gucci, teamed with Chopard jewels. English model Cara Delevingne opted for traditional black Burberry.
