The Cannes Film Festival had its opening night premiere last night and so many fashion girls walked the carpet! Some were there – like Natalie Portman – because they have films which will be shown in or out of competition. Some were there – like Lupita Nyong’o – because they have high-profile beauty contracts and “walking the Cannes red carpet” is one of the ways they fulfill their contracts.

So, let’s talk fashion. Lupita went bold with this bright green Gucci with a plunging V-neck, floral appliques, and a full skirt. On anyone else, I might think this was sort of tacky and costumey. On Lupita, it’s sort of perfect. It’s perfect for Cannes too, because you can veer into that kind of tacky, showgirl-style and it really works at Cannes.

If I have one complaint about Naomi Watts’ style, it’s that she relies too heavily on neutrals and pale colors when she should really go bolder. I don’t really have a problem with this feathered, beaded grey Elie Saab though – it’s dark enough where she doesn’t look washed out. And I love that big necklace. Bring on the jewelry p0rn!

Julianne Moore in Armani Privé. I feel like the feathers are close to overwhelming her, but… it’s not a terrible look for her. I prefer her in cleaner, sleeker looks, but she’s having fun and why not? I like the sparkle of green with her emerald earrings too.

And finally, Bar Refaeli with Fawaz Gruosi. Gruosi is De Grisogono Jewelry, so he probably hired Bar to wear the jewelry on the red carpet.
