Lemon dresses shine at Cannes

KIRSTEN DUNST

Photocall before the opening of the Cannes Film Festival in Cannes, France

Dress: Christian Dior

Shoes: Salvatore Ferragamo

Strangely, none of the frocks at Cannes so far thrilled me more than Dunst's minimal yet glorious retro-chic lemon belted shirt dress, an item every woman needs to have in her closet NOW.

JESSICA CHASTAIN

Opening ceremony and screening of Cafe Society at the Cannes Film Festival in Cannes, France

Gown: Armani Prive

Here's another refreshing ray of sunshine. This shade of yellow works surprisingly well on a pale redhead and it's pleated to perfection.

ARAYA A. HARGATE

Opening ceremony and screening of Cafe Society at the Cannes Film Festival in Cannes, France

Gown: Ralph & Russo

Go big or go home right? But the English-Thai starlet's explosion of pink ruffles could be just a tad oversized. Jellyfish-sea anemone hybrid creature, get thee back into the water.

TAYLOR SWIFT

BMI Pop Awards in Los Angeles

Gown: Monique Lhuillier

Let's just say I'm not enjoying Swift's style overhaul. Bleached hair combined with choker and velvet slip dress? I don't think any of us are ready to revisit the 90s yet.

VICTORIA BECKHAM

Opening ceremony and screening of Cafe Society at the Cannes Film Festival in Cannes, France

Top and pants: Victoria Beckham

Everything about this is depressing, especially for a Cannes red carpet. The crotch is too long, the pants are too long, and well, we've always known that that face is too long.

MOST IMPROVED

CHLOE SEVIGNY

Honestly, Sevigny looked clinically insane at the recent Met Gala, channelling a trashy old-timey saloon barmaid who’s had a really rough day (hence that rip in the skirt). The Von Trapp braided hairdo is still bonkers at her second outing, but at least her peach dress with embellished collar and cuffs is vintage pretty.

It could go full androgynous. I’ve done the no eyebrows, I’ve done all of it, so I’m running out of tricks. Maybe I should just be normal.
