Fashion’s greatest hits, misses on the Cannes red carpet

CANNES’ red carpet can be as kind as it is cruel when it comes to fashion.

For 12 days, major Hollywood actresses such as Marion Cotillard, Emily Blunt, Naomi Watts and Sienna Miller graced the film festival’s red carpet in clothes designed by the world’s greatest. Yet while the best looks come to define the festival, there’s almost as much interest in who got it wrong.

Here are the 68th Cannes Film Festival’s fashion hits and misses.

Marion Cotillard

 

It was not Cotillard’s strongest year in the fashion parade — but the Dior brand ambassador fared well in a blue-and-rose truncated minidress from Dior’s haute couture spring-summer 2015 collection at the premiere of director Justin Kurzel’s “Macbeth,” thanks to the embroidered paillettes and jewels.

Naomi Watts

 

It was a mixed bag for Oscar-nominee Watts. She thrilled at the Cannes Film Festival opening in a beautiful powder gray gown by Oscar de la Renta. But she appeared later in a dubious black gown by Peter Pilotto that had an uneven skirt at “The Sea of Trees.”

Emily Blunt

 

Blunt has Stella McCartney to thank for her shimmering coup at the “Sicario” premiere, alongside co-stars Benicio Del Toro and Josh Brolin. Embroidered jewels gave the sophisticated, covered-up look a weight that oozed old-school Hollywood glamour yet sparkled with sporty simplicity.

Sienna Miller

 

Jury member Miller had a cinematic comeback this year — after roles in “American Sniper” and “Foxcatcher” — but it was an off year for her on the Cannes red carpet. Misses included an oversize, shapeless black look by Sonia Rykiel at the “Carol” premiere, and a blush layered gown that some compared to curtains at the “Macbeth” premiere.
