Those who Cannes and those who cannes not...


Even if the Hollywood crowd only recently discovered the glamour factor of the Cannes Festival, most of them immediately understood that they would have to compete with worldwide actors used to wear Haute Couture. The competition is fierce and thus, one really has to make an effort to be positively noticed. No effort is spared to dress the ladies as all the designers showcase their collection for the beauties to borrow for the event, from Chanel to Lanvin or Christian Dior, hairdressers, style is the order of the day.


Michelle Williams obviously didn't get the memo.

If she didn't hire a stylist, it is a big mistake when one has no taste. If she has indeed a stylist, she should definitely fire this incompetent... Other alternative she- or her PR people - decided to make herself noticed by contrast. The sad little outfit of hers makes me cringes and, while she probably succeeded in getting attention since she was featured in the DailyMail today, I wonder who would identify with any character she'd play but a very sad one on a movie...

The dress's collar is wrong for her and especially in such a colour. It looks dull on pale complexion. The saggy breasts- so not sexy on a 20- something- scream for proper support. Actresses with small breasts shouldn't underestimate the need for underwear... And worst are the ample sleeves that add a "droopy" caractere to the ensemble... And don't get me started on the Duffy duck feet -like shoes...


Really, she looks pathetic. Darling, this is the Cannes Festival, not some beauty pageant from Arkansass...

I suggest Ms Williams takes her inspiration from people with good stylists. Like Dita Von Teese whose complexion is similar to the one of Michelle, wearing a purple dress by Jean Paul Gaultier couture or, for a simpler appeal, a lovely summery number by Missoni...

So, which one do you prefer?
