After nearly three full weeks of glitz and glamour, the 67th Annual Cannes International Film Festival is sadly over, cold turkey. If you, like us, are struggling through day one sans Cannes, fear not because we have just the thing to combat glamour withdrawal. In the spirit of festival competition, and an attempt to fill that Cannes-shaped hole in your heart, may we present, Queen of Cannes: A fashion roundup.

Five fashion powerhouses stood out amongst the plethora of worthy candidates at this year’s festival. Off the Richter web buzz ensued over Blake Lively’s style during the festival. From the burgundy Gucci Premiere dress she wore to the festival’s opening ceremony to the black and white gown she wore to the premiere of The Captive, Lively proved she could hold her own as the (potential) Queen of Cannes. Also showing off her fashion queen qualifications, Cate Blanchett never fails to amaze us in the sartorial department from channeling her inner déesse in a champagne-toned Giorgio Armani Privé form-fitting lace gown to working a bedazzled Givenchy couture dress. While Jennifer Lawrence was back to stunning us in Dior Couture ensembles, Jessica Chastain experimented with bold-coloured gowns that naturally blew us away. But if we were to call out one A-list who arguably wore the most unique dress of the entire festival, it would have to be Marion Cotillard. The cinema darling donned a Maison Martin Margiela Couture dress encrusted with tiny random objects like screws and bits of beer cans. All of the curious sequins were found at flea markets in Brussels and Paris, and the unusual dress took 67 hours to create.

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.

Images of beautiful women in couture gowns gracing the Cannes red carpet have dominated web buzz for the last several days and though we can’t get enough, we think it’s time for a valid chiffon pause in honour of Hollywood’s snappiest gentleman dressers. The Cannes 2014 red carpet has been good for men’s fashion, from Gucci lapels to laid back button downs.

Who are we kidding—roll out the eye candy!

A very grown-up Robert Pattinson emerged for the premiere of his new work, Maps to the Stars, looking festival apropos in all black and sporting a shorter, more mature (and therefore, more hot) haircut. And, whether Ryan Gosling was intentionally smoldering for the camera, or blinded by the Cannes sun, he seemed to gaze right through the lens and directly into our souls. The Canadian heartthrob looked handsome as ever in a light blue button up, brown trousers, and well-worn brown leather shoes. Blake Lively’s red carpet co-star Ryan Reynolds pulled his fashion weight wearing head-to-toe Gucci with a Bulgari watch (those two sure know how to work the red carpet)! With all the cinema excitement along the Riviera, one thing remains clear, no one can rock a light beige three-piece suit better than Adrien Brody.

You know the Cannes Film Festival is underway when glamorous photos of Hollywood’s biggest stars at premieres, photo calls and fashionable parties pretty much take over the Internet. Being only three days into the festival, A-listers (along with international stars) are not holding back on the glam factor and taking the Cannes 2014 red carpet by storm in some of the best looks of the year.

Beyond the foamy curtain of the Côte d’Azur lays the scene of cinema’s annual cult gathering—Cannes, a festival like no other. It is an event that has captivated audiences for the past 67 years with its unique and intoxicating brand of Mediterranean glamour.

Besotted by champagne soaked parties, historic hotels, and delectable French fare, it is a veritable paradise of indulgences for the beautiful, rich, and famous (which is at least what reading Assouline books on the topic will lead you to believe). The level of exclusivity on the Cannes red carpet guarantees that only a negligible percentage of the population will ever be granted access beyond its velvet ropes, which of course only adds to its prestigious reputation.
