Cannes 2015 Joy, Sadness, and Disgust in Cannes At the Inside Out photo call and presser in Cannes today. Hitfix is calling it one of Pixar’s “most creative films ever”. This is high concept, this is smart humour, and at the same time, totally universal. The reviews so far have been very, very strong. And the story? By Lainey • May 18, 2015 10:27 am
LifestyleArticle Carpets & Candids: Sienna saves it for the weekend It was boring style start to the festival for Sienna Miller, I guess to establish herself as a proper jury member. On the weekend, finally, she had some fun. This patchworky Valentino is not for everyone, but I love the diamond front and the thin strappy back. Also, I’m By Lainey • May 18, 2015 07:37 am
LifestyleArticle Carpets & Candids: Natalie’s sheer Cannes What does it say about Dior that the women who have to wear it look better when they’re not wearing it? You saw it with Charlize last week – that hideous yellow dress. You see it often with Jennifer Lawrence. And here’s another good example: Natalie Portman, spectacular in By Lainey • May 18, 2015 07:21 am
Girlcrushes Emma’s Cannes wedding OK so the fashion moment we were waiting for… Emma Stone at the Palais tonight in Cannes... And… Le sigh. Of course. She’s gorgeous. She’s wearing the hell out of it. She’s just so lovely. And I love how playful and fun she was, hamming it up By Lainey • May 15, 2015 04:30 pm
Media Manipulation Natalie Never is back Back in 2011, when she was campaigning for an Oscar, I dubbed Natalie Portman “Natalie Never” because her combination belly-cuppy pregnancy and aggressive trophy hunting turned me off so hard I couldn’t deal with her at all. A proto-I Can’t, if you will. Since then, though, Portman has By Sarah • May 15, 2015 02:16 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Emma’s Cannes debut Woody Allen’s Irrational Man photo call and presser in Cannes today. And Emma Stone’s Cannes first time. Maybe that’s why Emma went with a cocktail dress? I mean it’s not a gown. But I feel like it’s a dress you might see at a party. By Lainey • May 15, 2015 01:53 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Jake’s Oscar plans Jake Gyllenhaal wasn’t at the Palais last night. The jury wasn’t required. Here he is today around town. And pictures of him from opening night on Wednesday looking very smooth in that tux. While Jake had no official engagements to attend on Thursday, he was part of the By Lainey • May 15, 2015 12:50 pm
LifestyleArticle Carpets & Candids: Rachel’s Cannes jumpsuit Not many people can pull off that long, straight pant leg that completely covers the shoe. Think of Porny Jessica Simpson, when she does it, how ridiculous it looks. Even Victoria Beckham. Rachel Weisz? No problem. I love it. This is important to note – and that is why it was By Lainey • May 15, 2015 12:25 pm
LifestyleArticle Carpets & Candids: Salma’s Cannes coins and leather Salma Hayek in red leather, not unlike what was underneath Julianne Moore’s red velvet – click here for a refresher. And last night in a gown stitched in gold that was meant to look like grommets? I feel like it would have been effective if it was just the skirt By Lainey • May 15, 2015 11:32 am
LifestyleArticle Carpets & Candids: Julianne’s Cannes red velvet I prefer the leather underneath the velvet. And I wish we could see more of it. That said, there’s a drama to red velvet that is just right for Cannes. But I’ve mentioned her shoe problem before. And it’s showing itself here. By Lainey • May 15, 2015 11:00 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Colin & Ewan: matching arrivals Colin Farrell and Ewan McGregor worked together on a Woody Allen film called Cassandra’s Dream a few years ago. Here they are arriving in Nice for the Cannes Film Festival today and they happen to be travelling in the same outfit, just coincidence no conspiracy. Ewan knows Cannes. He By Lainey • May 14, 2015 05:18 pm
LifestyleArticle Carpets & Candids: Michelle’s Cannes pantyhose The f-cking pantyhose dresses… It’s just never going to be my thing. It will never be fashion forward. It will never be NOT tacky. Having said that, it’s Cannes. Country music award shows and Cannes keep pantyhose dresses alive. Also, Jennifer Lopez. By Lainey • May 14, 2015 04:43 pm
LifestyleArticle Carpets & Candids: Zoe’s Cannes white Don’t like it. Don’t like how the front is cupping her breasts. Don’t like how it’s basically something JLO would wear. And I feel like Zoe Kravitz can do more. By Lainey • May 14, 2015 04:01 pm
Assy Style Charlize & Sean in Cannes Sean Penn joined Charlize Theron at the Palais in Cannes for Mad Max: Fury Road today. Is this supposed to be our substitute for Brange Cannes? Because I reject that. I was however reminded of previous Cannes. There was a year he was there and I was covering it and By Lainey • May 14, 2015 03:41 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews “What’s done cannot be undone” Ahead of its premiere in Cannes, a teaser for Macbeth has been released featuring Michael Fassbender and ending with Marion Cotillard and the line: What’s done cannot be undone. To bed, to bed, to bed She only says “to bed” once here in the preview but you’ll recall By Lainey • May 14, 2015 12:51 pm
LifestyleArticle Carpets & Candids: Bingbing’s drama from the arms Like I said yesterday, there’s no such thing as “too much” in Cannes. You bring it all to Cannes. Fan Bingbing is bringing it from the arms. See how all of that is extending from the elbows? It’s so extra. Spectacularly extra. By Lainey • May 14, 2015 11:02 am
