2013 Cannes Film Festival: 'Behind the Candelabra' Premiere Wish List

All of the major stars of the film 'Behind The Candelabra' are male but star Michael Douglas will hopefully bring his wife Catherine Zeta-Jones to add some Hollywood glamour. I think that this amazing black Ralph Lauren Fall 2013 RTW silk gown. This is a simple subtle look for Catherine as she is not the person the focus of this event is on. Finish with a Salvatore Ferragamo minaudiere, black Christian Louboutin embellished pumps, as well as some incredibly dazzling diamonds, and of course sans feather jacket. Catherine has always been one to wow me on the red carpet and I am hoping that Cannes will be no different.
'Behind the Candelabra' is an HBO film that will be presented as an official selection which Nicole Kidman was in the HBO film 'Hemingway & Gellhorn' so I am sure that she will attend this premiere. Nicole is expected to wear at least one L'Wren Scott design during the course of the festival as L'Wren is her stylist. This will be the only wish that I make for her to wear for the event. I think that this black and gold strapless L'Wren Scott Fall 2013 RTW art deco inspired gown. A black and gold Bulgari clutch, a pair of black Jimmy Choo pumps, and some stunning yellow diamond jewelry from Chopard and Nicole will keep the red carpet glamorous.
I am hoping that Audrey Tautou will be seen more than the Opening and Closing Ceremonies as well as the amFAR gala but at some of the premieres in between all of them. The precedent set for the Mistress of Ceremonies varies from just those events to attending several of the premieres outside of those events. If she were to attend this premiere I would love to see her wear this cream Christian Lacroix Fall 2007 Couture gown. I was saddened in 2010 when the Christian Lacroix label closed and his avant garde designs stopped showing up on the red carpet. I have been in love with this look since I saw it in Vogue and again in the first 'Sex and the City' movie. Complete with a pair of champagne and crystal Christian Louboutin satin pointy toe pumps, simple pink diamond Chopard earrings, and a silver clutch would complete this ensemble.

2013 Cannes Film Festival: 'Blood Ties' Premiere Wish List

Last year I also wished for Marion Cotillard to wear a Christian Dior Spring 2010 Couture gown for her Cannes Film Festival premiere of 'Rust & Bone.' Well for her out of competition gala premiere of 'Blood Ties' I would love to see Marion wear this Christian Dior Spring 2010 Couture petal gown inspired by petal gown from the early days of the Christian Dior house. I would love to see this gown on the red carpet as the gowns from this collection were way under utilized on the red carpet. Complete this amazing look with a pair of silver Christian Louboutin pumps and some amazing Chopard diamonds to add some sparkle.
Mila Kunis like I said in the wish for the photocall has been on a red carpet roll so I am really looking forward to her appearance on the red carpet during the Palais de Festivals. This amazing Armani Prive Spring 2013 Couture black, white, and red silk gown would be perfect for this event. After not being chosen as a Met Ball gown I just know that it will make a Cannes appearance and Mila is the girl to make it happen. Add a red Edie Parker clutch, black Christian Louboutin peep toe pumps, pin straight silky hair elegantly draped over one shoulder, and some amazing Chopard diamonds will complete a perfect look for Mila for the Cannes Film Festival premiere of 'Blood Ties.'
Many followers of this blog will recocnize this wish for Zoe Saldana as I have featured it before in her Oscars gown wish. Well I am still holding out hope that Zoe will end up wearing this pink ball gown and pants ensemble from the Giambattista Valli Spring 2013 Couture gown. This is a gown that needs a major stage for it to be worn like the Oscars or the Met Ball and since both of those have passed Cannes is the final moment for this gown to make it on a red carpet. Complete this look with a pair of silver Salvatore Ferragamo satin pumps and some amazing diamond jewelery and Zoe will take the Palais de Festivals by storm for this premiere.
Getting a rare night to just enjoy the film Nicole Kidman will dress up and look fantastic during this out of competition gala screening of 'Blood Ties.' For this premiere I would love to see Nicole wear this amazing purple Jean Paul Gaultier Spring 2011 Couture gown with an ombre tiered tulle train. Since it first walked the runway back in January 2011 I have been wanting to see Nicole in it. Add a pair of black sandals and a back embellished clutch as well as some amazing diamonds provided to Nicole by event sponsor Chopard. I am really looking forward to seeing what she will pull out for this years festival for on and off duty looks.

2013 Cannes Film Festival: Opening Ceremony & 'The Great Gatsby' Premiere Wish List

Nicole Kidman is a member of this year Cannes Film Festival feature film jury and I can not be more excited. For the Opening Ceremony gala premiere of 'The Great Gatsby' I would love to see Nicole wear this amazing white Elie Saab Spring 2013 Couture gown with a short cape. Yes I want Nicole to dare to wear the cape. Nicole is one of the few people in Hollywood that could pull off this gown which has been a favorite runway look from fashion critics worldwide. Pair this dress with an old Hollywood up do and a pair of silver sandals. And to complete the ensemble bring a pop of color via a pair of Chopard diamond and sapphire earrings and ring would complete this amazing opening ceremony ensemble.
Audrey Tautou is the Mistress of Ceremonies at this years Cannes Film Festival so she will be on hand to host the opening and closing ceremonies. For the opening ceremony I would love to see Audrey wear this Lanvin gown that I found on Net-A-Porter.com in cream but wear it in a blue like I have shown here. I think that this is a perfect look for the French beauty who loves to rep classic French brands. Finish the look with a pair of black pumps, a Chanel diamond and pearl Camilla ring, and diamond and pearl Chanel bracelet and earrings and Audrey will wow which she has not done in a very long time.
The promo tour for 'The Great Gatsby' from Carey Mulligan has been very lack luster and I am hoping that when she presents the film as the opening film of the Cannes Film Festival on May 15th that she brings the high fashion glamour that she is known for. I would take this pearl silver Lanvin Fall 2013 RTW cocktail dress and have it made into a full length ball gown. There were some stunning ballgowns made by Lanvin last year, most notably the pink gown worn by Natalie Portman, and I think that this would be a perfect look for Carey for this event. Finish with a pair of Salvatore Ferragamo silver satin pumps, and some amazing Tiffany & Co. (the official jewelers of The Great Gatsby) jewelry and a wavy up do and Carey will finally wow me on the red carpet.
Isla Fisher has never been to the Cannes Film Festival so I am predicting that she will live up the opportunity to wear a big glamorous gown for her big night. I think that this pink Tony Ward Spring 2013 Couture ball gown is perfect for Isla for the big night. Pair this with a pair of nude pumps, and a gunmetal silver clutch, as well as some simple diamond earring and bracelet and Isla will be able to hold her own against fashion heavy hitters like Carey and Nicole on the red carpet of the Palais de Festivals during the Opening Ceremony.
Beyonce's husband Jay-Z produced the soundtrack for the film and Bey was one of the performers on it as well. I would not be surpirised to see Queen B walk arm in arm with her husband because on top of all of those factors she is also a L'Oreal spokesmodel. For this premiere I would love to see her wear this black Zuhair Murad Fall 2013 RTW one shouldered gown. This gown will look absolutely amazing on Beyonce's body but is subdued enough not to take the spotlight away from the nights big stars. Complete the look with a pair of black Christian Louboutin sandals and some amazing statement jewelry including earring and a bracelet from Beyonce's go to jeweler Lorraine Schwartz.
For the past three years Chinese actress Fan Bingbing has attended the Opening Ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival wearing a cultural inspired gown and the fashion world waits to see what she chooses. All of her gowns have been custom made for her for the event but if I were able to choose a runway gown it would have to be this red and gold Guo Pei Spring 2013 Couture ball gown with fan and dragon embellishments. This would be the biggest gown she has worn at the festival and is reminicient in shape of the hot pink Marchesa gown she wore for this years Oscar's ceremony. A gold and red Anya Hindmarch fan clutch and a pair of gold peep toe pumps would be the perfect accessories to this amazing gown for Fan for the Opening Ceremony.
As a sponsor of the Cannes Film Festival, Chopard tends to send model to help add glamour to the red carpet much like L'Oreal. Eva Herzigova has been one of these models who has introduced important collections for the brand like their 'Marylin Forever' set during last years festival. This year I would love to see Eva wear this amazing fully beaded Dolce & Gabbana Fall 2013 RTW dress with 3/4 length sleeves made into a gown with a sweeping train. Add some diamond and ruby earrings, a red clutch, and a pair of silver sandals and Eva will be set for the red carpet.

2013 Cannes Film Festival: 'Blood Ties' Photocall Wish List

The other film Marion Cotillard will be presenting along with 'The Immigrant' is 'Blood Ties' which will be a special out of competition gala premiere during the festival. Like before I have decided to put the Christian Dior spokesmodel in a Dior design. For this photocall I would love to see her wear this charcoal grey Christian Dior Fall 2013 RTW flowy dress. This is a perfect look for a photocall on the French Riviera. Complete this look with a pair of Christian Louboutin 'Pigaresille' pumps and a sleek bun .
Also in 'Blood Ties' is Mila Kunis. The former Oscar nominee has been wowing me on the red carpet wearing designs by Dolce & Gabbana, Atelier Versace, and Alexander McQueen while promoting 'OZ: The Great and Powerful.' I am hoping her amazing style run continues during the festival. For the photocall I would love to see her wear this amazing tone on tone blue Elie Saab Fall 2013 RTW dress. This dress will hug all of Mila's amazing curves and accentuate all her best features. A pair of Brian Atwood 'Aida' sandals and hair worn side parted in tousled waves.
And the final member of the 'Blood Ties' cast is Zoe Saldana. Zoe has been on and off with her best dressed and meh looks as of late and I am hoping that she will be back on top of her game during the Cannes Film Festival this year. For the 'Blood Ties' photocall I would love to see Zoe wear this blue Andrew Gn Fall 2013 RTW ensemble which consists of a silk skirt and a beaded chiffon blouse. Complete this look with a simple pair of black sandals and Zoe will wow me even before she dons a couture gown and walks the carpet at stairs at the Palais de Festivals.

2013 Cannes Film Festival: Photocall Wish List 3

During this years Cannes Film Festival Jennifer Lawrence will most likely be on hand for an unofficial photocall for her film 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' which will have sections screened to a select audience during the festival. For the photocall I would love to see the Christian Dior spokesmodel wear this amazing white, black, and houndstooth Christian Dior Fall 2013 RTW dress. Jennifer is not a girly girl, never was and will most likely never be so this sportier design is perfect for her. Complete the look with a pair of red Christian Louboutin pumps and slicked back hair and Jennifer will wow during the festival.
Lea Seydoux, unlike Jennifer Lawrence, is no stranger to the Cannes Film Festival. This year the actress will be presenting her film 'Blue is the Warmest Color' during this years festival. For photocalls in the past Lea has worn mostly Prada but I am wishing for her to wear this amazing white and silver Chanel Spring 2013 Couture tweed dress. This is an iconic style of dress and Lea would look absolutely fantastic wearing this stunning creation by Karl Lagerfeld. Complete this look with a pair of Christian Louboutin silver pumps and her hair up and Lea is set to stand out against the French Rivera as her backdrop.
Added at the last minute Mia Wasikowska will be in attendance at the Cannes Film Festival this year for the third year in a row. While I am most looking forward to the gown that she chooses for the premiere of her film 'Only Lovers Left Alive' I am also looking forward to seeing what she pulls out for the photocall. I would pick this white pleated chiffon Jason Wu Fall 2013 RTW dress with a black belt. To finish off this look just pair it with a pair of Christian Louboutin black peep toe pumps and she will bring the flirty to the terrace for the photocall.
I was almost afraid that this was going to be a year without Tilda at the Cannes Film Festival. Last year her film 'Moonrise Kingdom' opened the festival and she will be back in attendance this year with her vampire film 'Only Lovers Left Alive.' Tilda has exclusively worn Hadier Ackerman for every red carpet appearance for almost two years now so it is a safe bet to make that she will wear the designs of her long time friend during this years film festival. For the photocall I would love to see Tilda wear this black and white patterned blazer paired with a black chiffon blouse and black pants. I am sure that no matter what she wears I will be wowed.

2013 Cannes Film Festival: Photocall Wish List 2

Emma Watson's newest film which totally sheds her Hermione Granger image entitled 'The Bling Ring' opens the Un Certain Regard competition during this years Cannes Film Festival. The premiere and photocall for this film will take place on May 16th and for the mornings festivities of photocall and press conference I have an amazing design in mind for Emma. For her past several red carpet outings Emma has chosen cocktail dresses with bold mixed patterns and structurally unique features. I am only wishing that Emma stick to the structurally unique features via is grey black and teal Antonio Berardi Fall 2013 RTW color blocked dress. This is a fun youthful look perfect for Emma's first ever step onto the stage at Cannes.
Also going to be in attendance to promote 'The Bling Ring' with Emma Watson is co-star Kirsten Dunst. I have a love/hate relationship with Kirsten's style and I am hoping that she wow's me after letting me down last year at the 'On The Road' photocall and premiere. For the photocall for 'The Bling Ring' I would have Kirsten be a drop of sunshine via this bold Narciso Rodriguez Fall 2013 RTW sheath dress that would hug her curves perfectly. Complete this look with a pair of bronze Jimmy Choo platform sandals and wavy hair and Kristen will be on my good side to stat this premiere off. I am saying a little prayer to the fashion gods.
And fianlly for today we have Marion Cotillard. Marion is no stranger to the Cannes Film Festival having presented her film 'Rust & Bone' there last year. The Christian Dior spokeswoman will, much like Carey Mulligan, be presenting two films during the festival. The one that I am wishing for her to wear this stunning Christian Dior Spring 2013 Couture sequin embellished dress for its photocall is 'The Immigrant.' As the Dior spokeswoman Marion is expected to wear the brand several times over her stay at the festival. I think that this dress, lined of course, would be an elegant girly moment for Marion, who is one of the few that can get a couture dress for a photocall. Complete the look with Christian Louboutin 'Pivichic' black pumps and old Hollywood waves and she is set to stun.

2013 Cannes Film Festival: Photocall Wish List 1

Academy Award winner and last years Cannes Film Festival Mistress of Ceremonies Berenice Bejo will be in attendance during the festival that starts on May 15th 2013 to present her film 'The Past.' For the photocall for this film I would love to see her wear this amazing canary yellow Elie Saab Fall 2013 RTW. The key to taking this fall ensemble and perfecting it for the French Riviera in May is to scrunch up the sleeves and pair it with a pair of yellow Elie Saab sandals and tousled waves will complete this amazing ensemble for her photocall.
On top of opening the Cannes Film Festival with her latest film 'The Great Gatsby' Carey Mulligan will also be presenting her new film 'Inside Llewyn Davis' with co-star Justin Timberlake in competition for the festival. For this photocall I would love to see her wear this amazing brown Bottega Veneta Fall 2013 RTW dress. This very amazing 1940's style dress is something that I am looking forward to seeing worn off the runway. Complete this amazing look with wavy hair and a pair of bronze pumps would complete this amazing photo shoot ensemble.
Also in attendance during this years Cannes Film Festival promoting her film 'Only God Forgives' with hunky heartthrob Ryan Gosling will be Kristin Scott Thomas. Kristin has a small gaggle of designers that she goes to when she chooses her red carpet ensembles and for the Cannes Film Festival photo call of this film I would love to see Kristin wear Lanvin. This gardenia print Lanvin Fall 2013 RTW dress would be perfect against the bright blue sky and the crystal waters of the French Riviera. Complete this amazing ensemble with a pair of silver pumps and slick back hair and Kristin will shine bright.
