The amfAR gala, largely considered a social highpoint of the Cannes Film Festival, consisted of a Red themed, Marilyn Monroe inspired fashion show extravaganza! The term “extravaganza” may seem a bit over the top, but so is this event.

The show, now in it’s eleventh year, featured one-of-a-kind pieces from 35 of the top fashion houses (Alexander McQueen, Chanel, Tom Ford, Givenchy just to name a few) with nearly 40 models working the runway in the one-off couture gowns. The dresses are subsequently auctioned off to raise money for AIDS research. Last year the gowns raised a whopping $2 million dollars.

It was a cool, wet week for the Cannes Film Festival, but the skies cleared in time to cast a warm glow over the 20th annual Cinema Against AIDS amfAR (the Foundation for AIDS research) Gala at Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc.

Our tinted Mercedes SUV was one of many that lined a steep incline to the luxurious venue just outside of Cannes. After passing through gates (with a smattering of fans waving), we were led past a pack of photographers who urged us civilians to “hurry up!” so they could shoot the likes of Heidi Klum, Karlie Kloss, Joan Smalls, Aishwarya Rai, Rosario Dawson and Zhang Ziyi. 

Inside the main house we spotted Adrien Brody waiting for his girlfriend outside a washroom, while John Taylor of Duran Duran air-kissed a friend. We moved to the rear of the building to arrive atop a wide dramatic staircase. A long path leading to the sea was covered in a cushion-like platform. Perhaps to protect the grass? Or visitors’ heels? 

Nearby we saw Jessica Chastain and Milla Jovovich posing playfully with host Sharon Stone for an event photographer. Down the stairs were tables stacked with Moët & Chandon Imperial. I drained my glass as Jeremy Renner popped out from a shrub and Pucci designer Peter Dundas wandered by laughing, with two models on either arm. A ragtime jazz band played as we followed the band in to dinner. En route we passed a seated Leonardo DiCaprio talking with Goldie Hawn—over the evening he was lauded repeatedly for his philanthropic efforts.

Two top trendsetters, Jennifer Lawrence and Alexa Chung, caught our eye this week with their unique red carpet looks.

At the Santa Barbara Film Festival where she was crowned best actress, Jennifer Lawrence switched up her style by sporting a black and blue striped Stella McCartney strapless jumpsuit from the designer’s Pre-Fall 2013 collection. While the blogosphere reviews on the look have been mixed, we dig it from head—light ombré beachy hair—to toe—simple black Casedei heels. The look was cinched at the waist for a slender silhouette that gave off just a hint of Jennifer Lawrence’s ample sexiness.

On the more feminine end of the spectrum, Alexa Chung proved once again to be one of the world’s top style stars when she walked the red carpet at the amfAR New York Gala To Kick Off New York Fashion Week. She wore a black and white strapless Chanel tweed and pearl dress from the label’s Spring 2013 collection paired with two-tone Chanel PVC heels. Makeup was kept simple, and Chung wore her hair in a low ponytail to keep with her casual elegance that has become her signature.

There were five or so things we loved about the third annual Cinema Against Aids gala, held Sunday night at The Carlu. And one we didn’t. Here goes:

On the red carpet at the star-studded Cinema Against AIDS event, we had the chance to chat up Kelly Rowland . When we talk Fashion’s Night Out, she almost tries to cover up that she did some shopping herself. Not that it’s a crime.

What brings you here tonight? “AmfAR brings me here tonight, Kenneth Cole brings me here tonight, their passion brings me out here tonight, finding a cure brings me out here tonight, so I’m excited to be here tonight amongst so many great people, people with passion and I’m excited to see what the night holds.

Did you come to Toronto specifically for the event? “I did, we’re all flying back tonight.”

Some of the items in Lindsay Lohan’s 6126 clothing line look rather familiar to a couple of designers. Black Milk Clothing’s James Lillis and designer Jen Kao both say Lohan copied their designs. The company disputes this, naturally. [WWD]

But wait! It is apparently LiLo who’s had her designs lifted. [Stylecaster]

A NY Times report surfaced yesterday that H&M in New York’s Herald Square had been mutilating and dumping unsold clothing. H&M responded, saying “We are committed 100 percent to make sure this practice is not happening anywhere else, as it is not our standard practice.” It’s worth noting that H&M is listed as a donor to Windfall, a Canadian new clothing bank.
