Berenice Bejo, who hosted the opening and closing ceremonies last year, returned to the Cannes Film Festival red carpet tonight to premiere her latest movie "Le Passé".

The French actress wore an Alexis Mabile gown and blazer from the Spring 2013 Couture collection.

The addition of the double-breasted belted blazer is a refreshing modern touche but isn’t quite working for me. It’s not that the navy shade isn't beautiful but it looks a bit too formal compared with the angelic white tulle and lace strapless tiered ball gown.

I would’ve liked this if she had opted for the ivory version of the jacket and for a romantic hairstyle rather than her severe slicked back low ponytail.

I also don’t know how to feel about her Olympia Le-Tan book clutch... It's a cool accessory but it ends up beeing too distracting.

Glossy lips, kohl-rimmed eyes and white Monique Pean drop earrings completed the look.

If anyone is a Cannes regular, is Eva Longoria who is also a brand ambassador for L'Oréal Paris, the sponsor of the film festival held each year in the French Riviera.

For the past times that Eva has walked the red carpet at Cannes, she has chosen always the same style formula: a neutral mermaid-cut dress with long train and open back. Well, the former "Desperate Housewives" actress maintained that tendance to attend the "Le Passé" premiere tonight!

She arrived at the Palais des Festivals wearing a Zuhair Murad gown from the Spring 2013 Couture collection.

The nude long-sleeve gown has stunning gold embroidered details, but I’m not wowed. I feel like we’ve seen this type of gown a thousand times on the red carpet and on Eva, clearly. Plus, she doesn't have the necessary stature to make this dramatic design work to its full effect.

Her hair was tied back into a low ponytail to showcase her half-moon diamond-encrusted earrings while her make-up was glamorous consisting of bold eyeliner and pink glossy lipstick.

Eva will make at least one more appearance during the event so lets hope she's saving the best for later.

Fresh off her edgy appearance at the 2013 Met Gala, Nina Dobrev attended the CW Network's 2013 Upfronts in New York City to promote the upcoming fifth season of her hit show "The Vampire Diaries".

The actress arrived on the black carpet at the London Hotel wearing a bright blue Versace sleeveless dress featuring a black leather laced panel with metallic grommets around the waist that provided a subtle sexy peekabo effect. 
 
With her hair styled in layered soft loose waves with side-swept bangs looking glossier than ever, Nina finished her sophisticated look with flawless neutral make-up, Cuyana gold stud earrings and a pair of iridescent leopard print Rupert Sanderson pointed pumps.
 

 

To attend the after-party later in the day, Nina did a quick wardobe change and traded her Versace for a beautiful Azzaro dress from the Pre-Fall 2013 collection.
 
On this occasion, she opted for a more glamorous styling by accessorizing her white sleeveless dress featuring a keyhole detail and sparkling bead embroidery with a black clutch and metallic gold Jimmy Choo crisscross strappy sandals. As my favourite dress from the collection, I was so excited to see it worn so well!

Her beauty look was also jazzed up with a bit of cat-eye make-up and more defined cascading curls.

Two amazing and event-appropriate looks in one day... This explains my fashion crush on her!

Emma Watson made her Cannes Film Festival red carpet debut at the premiere of her latest movie "The Bling Ring" held last night at the Palais des Festivals, in France.

Sofia Coppola's film, which opened the Un Certain Regard selection, follows the lives of a gang of celebrity-obsessed teenagers who steal millions of dollars worth of jewellery and clothes from their luxury homes.

The actress kept it timeless elegant in a two-tone Chanel gown from the Spring 2013 Couture collection.

Her white pocketed high-waisted skirt was topped off by a sexy black sequin embroidered bustier that showed off a lot of back when she turned around.

The only bling was provided by three ear cuffs perched on her left ear for a slightly rebellious touch that was balanced out with minimal make-up and a simple side-parted updo. Since the Punk-themed Met Gala earlier this month, ear cuffs have gained some presence on the red carpet.

Emma was joined by her co-stars Claire Julien (in Emilio Pucci), Taissa Farmiga (in Valentino), Katie Chang (in Dior), Israel Broussard and director Sofia Coppola (in Louis Vuitton). They seem to have a bit of a monochrome theme going on as they all looked very coordinated.

Freida Pinto joined her fellow L'Oreal ambassador Fan Bingbing for the premire of "Jeune & Jolie" held during the 2013 Cannes Film Festival at the Palais des Festivals last night, in France.

For her second day at the French Riviera, the Indian actress decided to wear a custom-made gown by Indian designer Sanchita.

Are there enough words to properly express love for a dress? This shimmering silver fully beaded sleeveless column gown with dragonfly embroidered details on the bodice and a draped back is simply S-T-U-N-N-I-N-G!

And now let's talk about her impeccable styling, starting with her flawless beauty look! I was disappointed with Freida's hairstyle on the first day but, this time I’m absolutely obsessed with her red lips and retro low chignon completed with a soft curl framing her face and to-die-for dragonfly hair accessories. 

Actually, this look would’ve suited better to Wednesday's premiere because it has a Great Gatsby vibe to it!

A pair of Jimmy Choo strappy sandals peeking out through the thigh high slit and an embellished small box clutch provided the perfect finishing touches.

L'Oréal Paris is the big sponsor behind the Cannes Film Festival, so it's only natural that the celebrity ambassadors of the brand are some of the most glamorous stars to walk the red carpet.

Fan Bingbing was a vision as she attended the premiere of the French film "Jeune & Jolie" dressed in a breathtaking Elie Saab gown from the Spring 2012 Couture collection.

Elie Saab's creations always make memorable red carpet moments and this one is no exception! The Chinese actress looked like a Disney princess thanks to her pale yellow ball gown featuring a bead embellished three-quarter sleeve bodice and textured full skirt accented with a matching thin bow belt.

She added some edgy elements by sporting vibrant orange lipstick and a braided updo.

A Judith Leiber crystal box clutch, Chopard diamond drop earrings and a matching bracelet accessorized the look.

Emma Watson kicked things off in style as she attended a photocall for her latest movie "The Bling Ring" this afternoon, held at the Palais des Festivals in France.

The actress flashed a hint of midriff wearing a burgundy Christopher Kane ensemble from the Fall 2013 collection. 

Her outfit consisted of a sleeveless crop top with a square neckline and a matching high-waisted above-the-knee skirt, both pieces decorated with feather detailing that kept the look refreshing and youthful.

Unfortunately, the styling was uninspiring and it didn't complemented the cool vibe of the dress at all. She simply accessorized with boring black pointed pumps before finishing with a sleek side-parted bun and barely-there make-up.

This look needed a more interesting shoe choice and some casual loose locks to fall around her bare neck.

Naomie Harris sparkled from head-to-toe in a silver Calvin Klein strapless column gown paired with a slicked back updo, neutral make-up and a black clutch with a metallic trim.

Cara Delevingne wore a custom-made black Burberry lace long-sleeve column gown styled with Chopard diamond jewels, side-swept waves and red hot lips.

Paz Vega went daring in a white Roberto Cavalli crystal-embroidered long-sleeve gown with a strapless bodysuit underneath. Side-swept curls, delicate drop earrings, ivory satin platform peep-toes and a box clutch, both by Salvatore Ferragamo completed her look. I’m usually a fan of Paz’s style but this is not good at all.

Solange Knowles made a dramatic entrance wearing a nude Stéphane Rolland long sleeve chiffon gown from the Fall 2012 Couture collection, featuring a flowing long caped and ostrich feather embroidery. The look was completed with a matching thin belt, a Jimmy Choo clutch, nude strappy sandals and Chopard jewels.

Julianne Moore was one of the many guests dressed in Christian Dior Couture. She selected a strapless dress from the Spring 2013 Couture collection, which had a solid black bodice attached to an iridescent lavender organza tea-length skirt with a piece of fabric hanging at the back. Side-swept locks, Chopard diamond jewels and silver platform sandals finished the look.

Lana Del Rey arrived on the red carpet wearing a black-and-white lace embroidered strapless gown with a scalloped sweetheart neckline and floor-sweeping train by designer Lena Hoschek. Glamorous waves, cat-eye make-up and Chopard statement emerald drop earrings added the final touches.

Cindy Crawford flaunted her supermodel figure in a white Roberto Cavalli gown with plunging gold sequined halter neckline, teamed with soft wavy hair and drop earrings.

Nicole Kidman received a rainy reception on the red carpet but that didn't stop her from looking fabulous at "The Great Gatsby" premiere held during the 2013 Cannes Film Festival Opening Ceremony last night, in France.

To begin her duty as part of the jury, the Australian actress donned a Christian Dior dress from the Spring 2013 Couture collection.

Her strapless tea-length dress entirely embroidered with a beautiful multicoloured floral pattern was one of my favourite looks from this collection but I would have loved for it to be floor-length. 

The classic girly silhouette was a departure for Nicole who normally favors fitted column gowns and so was her futuristic high-volume quiff ponytail tied all the base of her neck. It worked from the front view, but it was a bit heavy structured from the side.

More colour was added via her coral Dior pointed pumps, fuchsia lips and orange manicure.
