Beautiful Dresses, Beautiful Women: Cannes 2012


The weather has been dreadful in Cannes and I know from personal experience that it is not much fun dragging a long evening gown through a torrential downpour.  Just take a look at poor Isabelle Huppert's soggy gown:


No umbrella for Isabelle?  It looks like she needed Fonzworth Bentley -  P. Diddy's former umbrella man:



And then the wind caught Lily Cole's dress and she flashed a bit of her very sensible looking knickers.  


But wet weather aside, there have been some beautiful dresses on the red carpet and Diane Kruger in particular has been a real stand out.  She has looked super glamorous and like a movie star and you can tell she really enjoys getting dressed up.   In Giambattista Valli:


Looking very Grace Kelly in To Catch a Thief don't you think?


And then she wore this ridiculously fabulous Vivienne Westwood gown


Which has a really wonderful late 19th century silhouette but in a futuristic and shiny gold.

I also loved the Versus laced dress that she wore:


and with friends like Karl Lagerfeld you are reportedly given gifts like antique earrings to wear with your Westwood gown:
