2014 Cannes Film Festival: L'Oreal Spokesmodels Aishwarya Rai, Araya Hargate, Barbara Palvin, & Bianca Balti Wish List

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN IT IS NOW THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN, ITS TIME TO START THE CANNES FILM FESTIVAL WISH LISTS! Like every year we will be kicking things off with the lovely ladies whose job it is to walk the red carpets in couture just to add some glamour, that is right I am talking about the stunning L'Oreal Paris spokesmodels. Up first is Aishwarya Rai, the stunning actress from India. Each and every single year Aishwarya returns to the red carpet and rocks the most stunning gowns. Last year she rocked Gucci Premiere, Elie Saab, and two couture saris and looked absolutely amazing. This year I have two wishes for her. First is this amazing black Armani Prive Fall 2013 Couture embellished gown. I am surprised that no one picked up this gown since July of last year and I am praying to see it on the Cannes red carpet and Aishwarya would be the perfect woman to bring it to life on the croisette. The other is this goldenrod Elie Saab Spring 2014 Couture draped gown, its so elegant and goddess inspired that Aishwarya would look absolutely stunning.

Last year Araya Hargate made her Cannes Film Festival debut wearing a midnight blue Salvatore Ferragamo fringe gown and a green Zac Posen ballgown and I am excited to see what she will bring to the red carpet next month with L'Oreal. The first look that I can see Araya rocking on the red carpet is this bright green Christian Dior Fall 2014 RTW, while her last green moment (the Zac Posen) might not have been one that most applauded but I do think that this minimalist moment would defiantly be. The other look I picked is more glam this black to burgundy Elie Saab Fall 2014 RTW halter ombre gown with a sexy slit would give the opposition to the other look. I would have this look modified to include a really long train because the steps into the Palais de Festivals needs a dramatic moment.

Two years ago Barbara Palvin, the Hungarian supermodel, rocked Valentino Couture girly beaded gown and last year a sexy Alexandre Vauthier tuxedo, I am hoping that she brings back the glamor for this year because the tux just did not work for me. The first gown I would pick for Barbara is this dove grey Alexis Mabille Fall 2013 Couture long sleeved pearl embellished gown. This is seriously one of my favorite gowns from the Fall 2013 Couture collections and it has yet to be worn which makes me incredibly sad. The other is a sexy, yet sophisticated, Versace Fall 2014 RTW red silk chiffon gown with gold embellishments. This gown would mix the statements of the past while the first would much more go back to the glamour that the Valentino evoked.

Bianca Balti is a stunning model and sometimes knows how to get it right on the Cannes Film Festival red carpet. Last year was not one of her finer years with the unflattering pin Chanel Couture gown she paired with clunky black accessories. I am hoping that this year she redeems herself with stunning moments that shut the red carpet down. The first gown I picked is this black, stone, and gold Alberta Ferretti Fall 2014 RTW gown. This gown needs a woman with presence to rock it and Bianca definitely has that. The same can be said about the cram colored Chanel Fall 2013 Couture halter gown that I have also picked. Only a model and like 3 actresses in Hollywood would be able to pull this gown off and what would be a better option than Chanel Couture to add glamor to a red carpet.

2013 Cannes Film Festival: L'Oreal Spokesmodel's Wish List Part 1

 The Cannes Film Festival just like the Met Ball is just around the corner. As a sponsor of the event L'Oreal Paris sends all of their spokesmodels just to walk the red carpet and add a dose of Hollywood glamour to the red carpet. Ironically the first actress we have up for a wish list is not a Hollywood name but a Bollywood name. Aishwarya Rai is an Indian star and obviously a face of L'Oreal. She has a huge relationship with Elie Saab and I always expect at least once look by the designer worn by her during the duration of the festival. Last year I was disappointing with her blue gown from Elie Saab's Fall 2011 Couture collection (pictured L). Well I have three looks by the designer for the star to choose from. First is a powder blue ball gown from the Elie Saab Spring 2013 Couture, out of all the looks this is best for a premiere. I think that this gown encompasses the go big or go home mentality of Cannes for the major stars. Next is a stunning electric blue long sleeved Elie Saab Pre-Fall 2013 gown, this is much more of a party ensemble and as L'Oreal throws some amazing parties during the course of the festival. Finally we have this midnight blue Elie Saab Fall 2013 RTW beaded gown. This could go for either a party or a standard non-gala premiere.

 Last May model Barbara Palvin made her Cannes red carpet debut looking stunning in a chevron Valentino Fall 2011 Couture gown. I am looking forward to seeing what the stunning Hungarian beauty will bring to the red carpet this year. First look I have for her is this stunning red Armani Prive Spring 2013 Couture gown. She should feel honored that I have wished for her to wear this as it was one of my favorites of the Spring 2013 Couture collections. She would look amazing in this and as a face of L'Oreal she would not go unnoticed. Next is a stunning Giambattista Valli Spring 2013 pale pink floral embroidered gown. I think that this would look amazing against Barbara's pale skin. Last but not least I have a stunning white and gold baroque print Zuhair Murad Spring 2013 Couture gown. Again another one of my favorites of the Spring 2013 Couture collections and it is my favorite of these looks for Barbara to wear as it totally embodies the Cannes experience.

Finally we have Beyonce. The stunning actress and pop star has not been on a Cannes Film Festival red carpet as a L'Oreal Paris spokesmodel and hasn't been on the famous stairs at the event since the 2006 Premiere of her film 'Dreamgirls' during the festival. I am hoping that between stops in France at the same time as the festival that the star will make her first appearance at the festival. The first look I would like to see Beyonce wear for the festival is this black tulle with gold embroidery Marchesa Fall 2013 RTW strapless mermaid gown. I watched the video of this collection and this dress is stunning and in the finale they showed the dress without the jacket and it is just even more stunning. The second option I have for the star is this amazing red Zuhair Murad Fall 2012 Couture gown. This gown is sexy and light which embodies the goal of everyone's look when they walk the red carpet at Cannes. The last look that I picked is tone on tone black Zuhair Murad Fall 2013 RTW gown. This is just a sultry sexy look that Bey would rock on any red carpet and I think that she would stand out at Cannes wearing.
