CANNES FASHION SHOWDOWN

 The French Film Festival may have recently finished but the looks modelled this year on the Cannes red carpet will certainly be remembered.

Here's a recap of Fl@unt's favourite looks:

BEST HAIR & BEAUTY STYLING
                                     
     CHERYL COLE                                   GWEN STEFANI

It seems that Cheryl took note of her rather bad fashion choices for her first appearance on the US X Factor and completely transformed herself into a sleek, simple white number with vampy lipstick and smoky eyes - and her hair has been slicked into a ponytail! Never thought we'd see the day...

Gwen follows the vamped up look with dramatic deep blue eye shadow and her trademark red lipstick. She looks flawless here and her bouffant hair further enhances this beautifully bold make up style.

FL@UNT FASHION HITS

KIRSTEN DUNST Chloe                       AISHWAYRA RAI Elie Saab

Kirsten indulges herself in citrus colours here fl@unting this gorgeous chiffon dress complimented with deep peach lips.

Making you stand to attention, Aishwayra Rai is simply a vision here in this beaded off-the-shoulder gown. What a goddess.

                  CHERYL COLE Roberto Cavalli  /GWEN STEFANI Stella McCartney

Cheryl looks absolutely stunning in this fishtail evening gown - a more modest look we don't usually see from her, yet still sexy. So she hasn't lost her sense of style after all! Phew.

Another great sassy hair & make-up look for Gwen making her stand out from the rest on the red carpet helped also by this beautiful cutout, shiny embellished body suit. 

PENELOPE CRUZ Marchesa

The Number One look from Cannes this year has to be Penelope Cruz in this breathtaking fairytale creation by Marchesa. The layering of lilac chiffon over intricately beaded nude underlining is gorgeous and unlike anything Fl@unt has seen before. We especially love the ruffled sleeves as well as Penelope's shortened fringe. Perfection.

SPECIAL FASHION NOTE... RACHEL MCADAMS

Along with her new man, British actor Michael Sheen, Canadian actress Rachel McAdams showed off her unbreakable red carpet style at this years Cannes festival, revealing a number of fashion moments as she promoted her movie 'Midnight in Paris'. 

Here's Fl@unt's favourite looks from her:

Marchesa Lace Drapery

Monique Lhuillier Feminine Trouser Suit

Louis Vuitton Marilyn Monroe moment
