Salma Heyak in Gucci Première and Fan Bing Bing in her traditional printed gown
Salma Hayek, too, chose an underwhelming beige dress. Hers was Gucci Première, and the only thing that even came close to saving the look was her gorgeous retro hairstyle: smooth side-swept curls a la the old Hollywood theme. The dress’s elegant vertical pleats provide texture and movement, but combined with the drab color and crinkly overlaid embellishments, the whole thing is just a bit unimpressive… We’re just glad she didn’t opt for a red Gucci leather number again…
Fan Bing Bing also stood out the most among the glamorous crowd, as she chose a modern dress shape with a traditional red Chinese bird pattern. The look was decidedly dramatic, but Bing always goes for over-the-top red carpet looks. Even her hair and makeup are striking and unexpected – her sleek black hair is styled into some sort of impossible giant pouf, and a daring red lip matches her bright dress.
Lady Gaga performing Judas at Cannes Film Festival
Confusing and over-the-top as always, Lady Gaga performed her hit “Judas” at Cannes for the French talk show Le Grand Journal and donned a strange matador-esque ensemble. Comprised of a sheer black bodysuit, black tights, decorative gold embroidery, and some sort of red chiffon cape, Gaga’s Spanish-themed outfit was a perplexing choice for the French setting. To top off the crazy fashion, Gaga’s long bleached-blond hair was fringed with harsh black bangs, and her scary black makeup resembled that of Natalie Portman’s during her black-swan phase of Black Swan (minus the red eyes, of course). Needless to say, Lady Gaga has done it once again – attracted our attention, caused confusion, and pushed the boundaries of fashion even further.
10 days full of fashion left!
