Cannes Film Festival 2011

Last week was the ever anticipated annual Cannes Film Festival. In its 64th year the festival yet again delivered French glitz and glamour.

We have picked out our favorite looks from the 8 day event and it seems the stars literally took the French vibe to heart with colours directly inspired from the French flag!

Penelope Cruz pictured here with Johnny Depp opted for a simple Stella McCartney creation proving that velvet can work.

              

 Zoe Saldana looking gorgeous in an Armani number   

and Salma Hayek wowing the crowds in stunning Gucci Premiere. We love the swept over hair.

Two examples of effortless style; Uma Thurman in Chanel Couture gown from 2008 collection and Bar Refaeli in timeless Roberto Cavalli.

 As ever Alexa Chung spot on in vintage; a 1960s Balenciaga tulip dress, simple but chic.

Finally Rachel McAdams is flawless in lace by Marchesa. 

Met Ball 2011

The 63rd annual Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art took place last night and was in honour of  the late Alexander McQueen.

It's the fashionistas event of the year and the red carpet always boasts the most fabulous ensembles, British designs were particulary prominent this year due to the Alexander McQueen honouring theme.

We've picked out a few of our favourite looks from the event and as usual eveyone was groomed to perfection!
