Day 11 of Cannes Film Festival: The Fashion Round-up!

Day 11 of Cannes Film Festival was a rather dull, with only the premiere of Matthew McConaughey and Reese Witherspoon-starrer Mud taking place. So nothing unremarkable fashion-wise, too?

Andie MacDowell in custom Giorgio Armani at the premiere of “Mud”

The best-dressed of the day for me was the L’Oréal Paris brand ambassador/actress Andie MacDowell, purely because she spoke to my minimalistic senses. It was a black Giorgio Armani gown with a deep V-neckline and layered frills on the skirt. So far, pretty run-off-the-mill.

Then the tribal-looking Boucheron jewels come into view and the look just goes… WHOA! The bracelet, necklace and earrings in leopard-wood and gold set with rubies and diamonds are intriguing, no? FYI, they’re from Boucheron archives, dating from 1986!

Matthew McConaughey & Camila Alves at the premiere of “Mud”

Next up is Matthew McConaughey, who scrubbed up rather well for the premiere of his film. The black two-button slim notch lapel tuxedo complete with waistcoat (Dolce & Gabbana or Spencer Hart?) was well sharp ‒ and yes, the trousers were the right length! He did catch my eye this time, something he did not do two nights ago at the The Paperboy premiere, in a dowdy Spencer Hart suit.

And guess what? He brought out an equally dowdy suit for the photocall of the film earlier in the day. It was Dolce & Gabanna ‒ and how unflattering it was!

Camila Alves in Marchesa A/W’12 at the red carpet of “Mud”

Unfortunately I don’t have many nice words to say about his fiancée Camila Alves’s *threads* at the premiere. She went for a strapless silver draped tulle gown with a ruffled skirt and embroidered bodice detail from Marchesa’s A/W’12 line, which I found rather cheap-looking thanks to the tulle overload. Her skin/make-up was absolutely glowing, though.

Check out Camila’s stunning Chopard earrings!

And her Chopard bling-bling… always eye-catching!

Reese Witherspoon, too, was glowing at the red carpet. It was custom empire-waisted navy silk chiffon Atelier Versace gown with double straps, a central split, cut-out back and a sprinkling of Swarovski crystals.

Silver Versace sandals, pear-shaped dropping earrings and matching bracelet from Chopard nicely rounded off her look. The gown twinkled, not as much as Aishwarya’s Elie Saab gown from the previous night though 😉

She trusted Versace for her daytime appearance as well, for the photocall of Mud ‒ and it’s unfortunate that she did. The black long-sleeved figure-hugging cocktail dress with a ruched detailing from the neck to the hip screamed bargain basement ‒ and not an expensive designer wear. What I did like were the super cute pink Manolo Blahnik sandals, which popped against the black.
