Celebrities spill the bean of their fashion sense at Cannes Film Festival

With the 64th Cannes film festival this special event that is happening in the south of France saw many celebrities walking the red carpet. All the stars were out in full force showing of their style statement and fashion sense. The list of hits and misses are many.

Hmm…. leather jacket may not be the big hit this season, but surely one may term this film festival a modern or a trend setting one. While some could rank up on the style quotient, there were also many celebs who missed on that style glamour.

Celebrities that proved a hit at Cannes 2011:


Uma Thurman- She is the style diva in the Hollywood industry. Time and again she has been proving her ecstatic fashion sense; well, this time again at Cannes she proved her sophisticated style. The wonderfully falling white floor length dress with right amount of jewelry and make-up made her the show stopper.

Alexa Chung- She is always in news for her cool fashion sense. So, just like Uma Thurman, Alexa Chang too looked just ravishing with her long sleeved and shorter style frock made her look perfect for the event.

Celebrities who could not get it right at the Cannes 2011:

Salma Hayek-
She is usually known for her great fashion sense, but this time… it was a bad luck because her brown leather dress just gave such a bland look. Probably if she could have teamed the dress with contrasting accessories or footwear, may have bought some life in her looks.

Lady Gaga-
Why does she always have to dress up so weirdly every time? Come on.... Gaga we know you love to experiment, but for goodness sakes what’s with the skunk hair, lace-up boots and ohm god… underwear over black tights is way too muchhhhhh…… do you need some help!!!
