| Fan Bingbing in Marchesa |
Fashion favorites Diane Kruger and Fan Bingbing dominated with several stunning looks, but it was a good week for a lot of celebs. The Cannes red carpet always brings the glamour, so there was plenty of couture and miles of dress trains to keep fashion fans happy.
Here are all of my favorite looks from the Cannes Film Festival:

What were your favorite looks from the Cannes film festival?
Spring collections are slowly trickling into retail stores, and along with that comes the unveiling of the Spring 2014 Ad Campaigns.
It's always a treat to see how ad campaigns contribute to the tone of a collection, and they often make the clothes come alive. And from a photographer scandal to new talents landing big campaigns, this round of campaigns was indeed quite lively.
Below are some of my favorites:
|
| Miley Cyrus stars in the Marc Jacobs ad shot by David Sims |
Let's start things off with one of the more interesting ad campaigns of the season. Miley Cyrus' status as It Girl continues into 2014 as the new face of Marc Jacobs. The images are dark and moody, reflecting the Victorian-inspired collection well.
The campaign by David Sims, however, is rather incongruous with past MJ campaigns which are usually photographed by Juergen Teller, who - according to the episode of E! News I was watching yesterday - refused to work with Miley. Apparently not everyone does "Adore You", Miley.
The result - a much moodier, darker campaign than usual. I like it and think it works, but Juergen Teller's refusal to work with Miley makes for an interesting story!

| Sofia Coppola and Fan Bingbing for Louis Vuitton Spring 2014 photographed by Steven Meisel |
Also helmed by Marc Jacobs (for the last time), the Louis Vuitton campaign for Spring 2014 celebrates the seventeen-year-reign of Jacobs before Nicolas Ghesquiere takes the reigns. The campaign features the women who inspired Marc Jacobs for his Louis Vuitton collections, including Sofia Coppola, Gisele Bundchen, Catherine Deneuve, and Fan Bingbing.
The photographs are beautiful, a fitting last campaign for the man who transformed the French leather house into a fashion powerhouse.
We'll miss Marc at Louis Vuitton, but I for one am so excited to see Nicolas Ghesquiere back in the game and know he will do marvelous things.

| Karen Elson for Jason Wu Spring 2014 photographed by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vindoodh Matadin |
The fiery-haired Karen Elson stuns in a sexy Jason Wu gown for the designer's latest ad campaign, shot by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vindoodh Matadin. Shot at NYC eaterie Indochine, Elson makes her Hollywood-glam dress look as appetizing as the food on the table.
I love Elson's dynamic pose, the punchy wallpaper, and the fact that Wu himself joins the supermodel for a fashionable bite to eat in another photo for the campaign. Perfection.
 |
| Lupita Nyong'o for Miu Miu Spring 2014 photographed by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vindoodh Matadin |
Miuccia Prada continues her tradition of featuring up-and-coming Hollywood starlets with Spring 2014, which showcases 12 Years a Slave actress Lupita Nyong'o, along with Bella Heathcote, Elle Fanning, and Elizabeth Olsen.
The pastel-heavy collection gets some edge with the way these girls wear their Miu Miu clothes with confidence. This campaign is a total win for me.
 |
| Alexa Chung for Longchamp Spring 2014 shot by Vadukul |
Alexa Chung has a tendency to turn everything she touches to glistening gold, and her latest ad for Longchamp is no exception. Chung is cool and adventurous in her light blue convertible and clutching to her vibrant yellow Longchamp bag.
I love the feel of this image, love the way it makes you want to hop in the passenger seat and join Alexa Chung on an exciting road trip.
 |
| Lady Gaga for Versace Spring 2014 photographed by Marcus Piggott |
And of course, one my favorite campaigns of Spring 2014 is one of the most straightforward. Lady Gaga poses in Versace as a Donnatella doppelganger and looks beautiful doing so. Gaga's pose is seductive and sexy, just like a Versace dress. Simple, yes, but powerful.
What have your thoughts been on the Spring 2014 ad campaigns?
Of all the film festivals, Cannes is considered the creme de la creme. Black tie on the French Mediterranean- there cannot be anything quite like it. Only serious stars are welcome at the festival, and they dress in serious gowns.
 |
| FREIDA PINTO in Versace |
Love that Freida Pinto is never afraid to take a risk. She's got the slit without overdoing it (See Natasha Poly and Anja Rubik channeling Angelina), the yellow is stunning against her skin tone, and the bead work makes it a must-have Cannes gown. Parfait!
 |
| BELLA HEATHCOTE in Gucci |
I think Bella Heathcote is absolutely adorable so she can almost wear anything and get away with it, but I have to agree with other critics who claim that this dress is just too dark. Also, I know that there's the prestigious Palm D'Or Award, but that is not an invitation to actually wear palm print on your dress.
 |
| KARA HAYWARD in Louis Vuitton |
The young star of the movie I'm most looking forward to, Moonrise Kingdom, wore a butter yellow Louis Vuitton dress with ultra-cool ruffles and a hairdo straight of of the runway show. I think she looks fresh and fun for a young star, and this dress gets me excited to see what else Kara will be wearing when promoting her new movie.
 |
| FAN BINGBING in Christopher Bu |
Fan Bingbing is without a doubt this year's best dressed at Cannes. Everything she wears is stunning. I adored this dress in all its whimsicality, but what I didn't dig was the hair. She should have either pulled it all back or worn it all down.
 |
| DIANE KRUGER in Giambattista Vallli |
Stunning. But of course, it's Diane Kruger, so were we really expecting anything less? The color, the cut, the gauziness. And when she turns she get get all Dracula-dramatic on us. I love it.
 |
| LANA DEL REY in Alberta Ferretti |
I'm a huge Lana fan, so I was absolutely ecstatic to see her in a flawless dress that so perfectly accentuates why I love her. The vampy neckline and simple side-swept 'do left me in awe. Lana's been very trendy lately so I've been worrying that she would get caught up in the "Let's Try to Out-Weird One Another" competition of Gaga, Nicki, and Katy. Also, weird observation: I find it funny that she was invited to the Moonrise Kingdom premier because Lana totally reminds me of a grown-up Kara Hayward.
 |
| FREIDA PINTO in Salvatore Ferragamo |
Because Cannes is as much about the yacht parties as it is couture ballgowns, Freida picked the best Ferragamo ensemble she could. Blue and white nautical stripes and a halter top. Also, she managed to make the summer trend of belly-bearing look classy by keeping her skirt hem longer.
 |
| DIANE KRUGER in Versus |
Only Diane Kruger could wear such a risky dress with such ease. The dress is gorgeous, the shoes go well, her hair and makeup is simple, and she looks about ten feet tall. I'd say it's a winning look!
 |
| MIA WASIKOWSKA in J. Mendel |
Another beauty in burgundy. Mia Wasikouwska is another favorite of mine for her unabashed whimsicality when it comes to fashion. But she also knows how to look completely elegant, which is why I love this dress. The drapery is to die for and the color- nothing beats it.
 |
| FAN BINGBING in Elie Saab |
There were plenty of dramatic trains at Cannes -see Naomi Watts and Eva Longoria- but they seemed to be excessive additions to dresses only for the effect. Fan, the Queen of Cannes Style, donned an Elie Saab dress that would not have been the same without the gauzy train. Completely elegant and, even with the train, it appears to not be all that over-the-top.
