Movie Reviews and Previews The distance between Charlize Theron and Sean Penn… Today at the photo call for The Last Face, directed by Sean, in Cannes. Exactly a year ago in Cannes, this is what Charlize and Sean looked like: I chose this shot specifically because he seems oblivious and she looks like she’s got plans.

LifestyleArticle Carpets & Candids: Vanessa’s sheared sleeves It gives me great pleasure that Amber Heard has to deal with designer scraps at an event like the MET Gala while it’s understood that Vanessa Paradis will always have access to Chanel’s best pieces. And this is one of the best Chanel pieces. These sheared, crazy cut By Lainey • May 20, 2016 01:06 pm
LifestyleArticle Carpets & Candids: Heidi’s cheap yellow Cannes Let’s go back to what Karl Lagerfeld once said about Heidi Klum: “She was never in Paris. We don’t know her.” Which means she was never runway, never couture. And, well, by “supermodel” standards, he’s right. Because what the f-ck is this dress? By Lainey • May 20, 2016 12:27 pm
Cannes 2016 Katy dresses for Orly? Katy Perry performed at the amfAR gala last night in Cannes. AmfAR is always on the Thursday night. And it’s the unofficial end of the festival. By Friday most press have already left so that they can go home and reclaim their weekends and their lives. When I used By Lainey • May 20, 2016 12:05 pm
Drama Who owns the “Cannes eye”? Kristen Stewart and her romantic flameout Soko have both been in Cannes. So far there hasn’t been any overt drama. No screaming, no slapping. But that might be old-school drama. New school drama happens on social media. And this is what it looks like: Kristen showed up to the By Lainey • May 19, 2016 10:43 am
Style Kristen Stewart’s happy Cannes I wrote yesterday that Kristen Stewart seems like she’s having so much fun in Cannes. They seem to love her in France. And she’s loving them back. Look at her today at the photo call for Personal Shopper. She’s playing for the cameras. Not pouting…but playing! By Lainey • May 17, 2016 02:32 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews A Loving Oscar Yesterday in Cannes belonged to Loving, the film written and directed by Jeff Nichols that tells the true story of Mildred and Richard Loving, who broke the law by getting married in 1958. How? Well she’s black and he’s white. And back then, it was illegal in Virginia. By Lainey • May 17, 2016 11:03 am
Photo Assumption Hand-holding vs hand-holding Kristen Stewart seems like she’s really enjoying this Cannes Film Festival. There’s a … looseness to her, at least from Photo Assumption, that I don’t think we’ve seen. Like she’s having fun. And she doesn’t mind if you know that she’s having fun. Like By Lainey • May 16, 2016 04:53 pm
LifestyleArticle Carpets & Candids: Blake’s Cannes runway How did Cannes end up being a fashion show for Blake Lively? There were a lot of appearances. And so much bad fashion in those appearances. Blake doesn’t have a stylist. Blake is also, liberally, singled out often for her sense of style. That’s an issue for me. By Lainey • May 16, 2016 04:25 pm
Models Leo, predictably, shows up in Cannes When I wrote about Leonardo DiCaprio last week and his new girlfriend, Ela Kawalec (we’ll get to that in a minute), I noted that while he wasn’t in Cannes quite yet, he’d likely be there for the weekend and the best parties, and, of course, the amfAR By Lainey • May 16, 2016 11:59 am
LifestyleArticle Carpets & Candids: Aishwarya's purple lips I’ve been obsessed with purple lips recently, wearing it often on The Social. But mostly a darker purple. Current favourite: Kat Von D’s Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in “LUV”. It doesn’t move. Seeing this bright, almost neon purple on Aishwarya Rai – I want to try SO bad. By Lainey • May 16, 2016 11:37 am
Relationship Assumption Katy & Orly in Cannes Exactly a week ago, we were looking at pictures of Selena Gomez eating Orlando Bloom’s neck in a booth in Vegas. Apparently they also left together – but with friends. Click here for a refresher. “Friends” is the operative word. And, after a couple of cryptic posts on Twitter, Katy By Lainey • May 16, 2016 11:11 am
LifestyleArticle Carpets & Candids: Salma’s Cannes prom If it was 1996, I would understand. What is the excuse for this in 2016? On Salma Hayek, who has access to almost every major design house? The straps AND the belt are glittered. There’s a bellybutton flower. And a tendril coming down her face. The tiered skirt is By Lainey • May 16, 2016 10:45 am
LifestyleArticle Carpets & Candids: Marion in denim, gold, and leather I hate this gold dress so much. And if she can’t save it, it can’t be saved. But look at her at the photo call. In a denim dress made to look like a long jean jacket and a lace top underneath just as a bonus. Then… This By Lainey • May 16, 2016 10:03 am
Cannes 2016 Kristen & Soko in Cannes Kristen Stewart and Soko apparently broke up a couple of weeks ago. After the news was first reported, Kristen was seen with her ex-girlfriend Alicia Cargile, and Soko got into her feelings on social media about that – click here for a refresher – giving us a taste, perhaps, of her predilection By Lainey • May 13, 2016 02:24 pm
LifestyleArticle Carpets & Candids: Jessica’s 2 Thursday night hits Jessica Chastain wore back to back winners last night in Cannes. First, for the carpet, going flapper in a sparkly silver grey McQueen…the hair is perfect, the accessories are perfect, the fit is perfect. And then in a wonderful high collar, open back, also intricately embellished dress for the By Lainey • May 13, 2016 12:24 pm
