See our top 10 best dressed »

The Cannes Film Festival may be long over, but judging from this past week, celebs everywhere showed no signs of pulling any stops on stepping out in gold medal-worthy outfits. From the World Music Awards to world premieres, we round up the 10 best dressed looks from the week.

World Music Awards took place this past Tuesday drawing top musicians (and models!) to Monte Carlo. Amongst the A-listers was Miley Cyrus who surprised us all in two ensembles that was quite out of character. While her concerts usually calls for custom, barely-there bodysuits, our former cover girl switched it up and donned a gorgeous floral strapless gown for her live performance of “Wrecking Ball.” She later wore a bedazzling silver gown to not only accept the award for World’s Best Video, but also World’s Best Female Artist.

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.

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.

Discount designer haven The Outnet turns five tomorrow, whilst making our wee fashion fantasies come true with a limited-edition collection launching on the same day.

The 17-piece collection features greatest hits from some of fashion’s biggest darlings. Think Chloé wedges, Balmain tees and Alexander McQueen clutch and more. It also includes Rouland Mouret’s O’Hara dress, a mainstay silhouette for A-listers.

The Outnet will also be rolling out a national campaign starring none other than maga-babe, Chanel Iman. To boot, fashion insiders like Man Repeller’s Leandra Medine, Harley Viera-Newton and model Jessica Hart wax poetic about birthdays in an online short.

Whether you live for the glamour of red carpet galas or are obsessed with how stars dress when they’re off duty and street stylin’ it up, this past weekend has you covered. Things started off with a sartorial bang at the Tiffany & Co. Blue Book gala in New York City. Jessica Biel and Katie Holmes were amongst the notable guests, and both dressed in black and white. But it was Kate Bosworth, in a pink silk Katie Ermilio dress, who stole the style show that night before jet setting to the golden coast to join Emmy Rossum at the Alexander Wang and H&M Coachella party.

As the Internet, every friend or your internal Queen Bey clock have already alerted you to, Beyoncé released her fifth album exclusively on iTunes just before midnight last night. Quietly, elegantly and with the regal control we’ve come accustomed to with the superstar, she one-upped the leakers by being the first to release the self-titled album to the grovelling masses. “I didn’t want to release my music the way I’ve done it. I am bored with that,” she says via video press release. “There’s so much that gets between the music, the artist and the fans. I felt like I didn’t want anybody to give the message when my record is coming out. I just want this to come out when it’s ready and from me to my fans.”

Beyoncé is 14 tracks, 17 videos and features a never-ending contributor roster ranging from Frank Ocean and Drake to Terry Richardson and Jonas Åkerlund. Blue Ivy’s in there too, as is her pops Jay-Z. According to the press release, Beyoncé has been recording the songs and filming the videos for over a year while on her Mrs. Carter Show World Tour which is a feat cause a) how the eff does one even function on so high a frequency and b) how the eff did not one of the zillion contribs and/or innocent bystanders (like any of these people) say a thing? Likely to be revealed later: Scarlet letter Bs imprinted on the bodies of 100 music moguls.

As much as the runway sets the pace for what’s to come for the top Spring 2014 trends, the streets play a major role as show-going trendsetters give us the relatable breakdown of how to wear what’s hot next season. Prints take two spots on our top Spring 2014 trends list through those with a painterly quality and those influenced by international cultures. At Hérmes, Rousseau-inspired water lily florals were printed on luxurious fabrics while at Diane Von Furstenberg, dresses and skirts depicting an African wilderness roared.

It’s day seven of New York Fashion Week which means NYFW is officially wrapping up. With the scorching weather, everybody was happy to peel off layers and embrace the heat with summer dresses. While Miroslava Duma and Olivia Palermo showed off their toned legs in printed ensembles, a few fashion show regulars took cues from the Spring 2014 runway by pulling out pleated skirts and sheer fabrics.

Popular amongst the celebrities at the Venice Film Festival, the colour red was once again a favourite this week. Two ladies in red, Mia Wasikowska and Chanel Iman, took the colour to a new level by showing us that the simpler the dress, the classier the look. Showcasing their amazing figures, these two stars looked romantic and elegant at two different red carpet events.

Globetrotter Mia Wasikowska epitomized effortless style last week at the Venice Film Festival in not one but two monochromatic dresses. But this young star showed us she could rock a brightly-coloured dress too. In Toronto last night for the TIFF 2013 premiere of Only Lovers Left Alive, Wasikowska wore a beautiful red sleeveless column gown by Christian Dior. Pairing her outfit with Brian Atwood heeled sandals, the actress looked statuesque in the form-fitting dress as she smiled to the cameras. Keeping things at a minimal, beauty-wise, Wasikowska wore a fresh, glowing face, neutral pink lips and a messy updo.

Meanwhile, in New York City before all the mayhem of NYFW began, the 2013 Couture Council Artistry of Fashion Award hosted a luncheon to honour Michael Kors. Amongst the stylish attendees was top model Chanel Iman who channeled her inner temptress in a body-con rose-coloured dress by Michael Kors (obviously!) from the Pre-Fall 2013 collection. Featuring a cross back detail, the body-hugging outfit was completed with a simple black leather fold over clutch and black ankle-strapped sandals from the same collection. Similar to Wasikowska, Iman kept her beauty look at a minimum: natural-looking makeup and a sleek hairstyle.

Rumour has it that Adam Levine has decided to put a ring on it. It, being Victoria’s Secret model Bahati Prinsloo’s finger. Though we find it hard to believe that the singer, who doubles as a notorious modelizer, is wanting to settle down already, the musician’s publicist has confirmed that the engagement rumours are indeed true. Prinsloo and Levine first started dating shortly after the singer’s very public breakup with fellow Angel Anna Vyalitsyna (that has to call for some back stage tension). The tatted Maroon 5 front man and star of hit show The Voice refuses to embrace the womanizer label he’s been given, telling Details Magazine he just really loves women.

The Victoria’s Secret stunner stopped by Toronto today to talk about lingerie, spa-ing and what else… Valentine’s Day!

Leave it to Tom Ford to spark a blaze of fashion chatter. Ford has released the video for the first women’s collection under his own name – a spring 2011 show that happened in September but has gone mostly unreported until now, as per Ford’s wishes.
