School of frock: Gowns Galore
The Cannes Film Festival has drawn to a close and we're recovering from gown fatigue, but it ain't over till we put some of the attendees through one final judging
ELLE FANNING (A)
The Neon Demon premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in France
Gown: Zuhair Murad
Among actresses who've played live-action Disney princesses, Fanning stands out as the fairest of them all off-screen. Her pink floral embroidered ballgown is the stuff of fairy tales and as swoon-worthy as it gets. Thanks to her, this year's Cannes Film Festival has a happy ending.
EVA HERZIGOVA (B+)
amfAR's Cinema Against AIDS event at the Cannes Film Festival in France
Dress: Christian Dior
Neither the satin cape nor the patterned minidress are particularly remarkable on their own, but throw in pitch-perfect styling and we get magic. It's been ages since the former supermodel looked so painfully chic.
VANESSA PARADIS (D+)
amfAR's Cinema Against AIDS event at the Cannes Film Festival in France
Gown: Chanel
I hate to get literal, but in this crazy black frock, Paradis is a walking old crow who's about to cast a very bad spell on someone.
MAYA RUDOLPH (D)
Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping premiere in New York City
Jumpsuit: Not known
The mum of four better be expecting a fifth here, because otherwise there's no excuse for that bulging belly ensconced in the world's least flattering, most unsightly one-piece.
HALSEY (F)
Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas
Dress: Yigal Azrouel
From head to toe, this is the sartorial equivalent of a bad horror movie. After we're done with the silent screaming, let's just avert our eyes and never speak of it again.
WHO WORE IT BETTER?
KESHA VS MADONNA
Both turned up at the same event in purple to honour the late Prince, but while one nailed it, the other just plain failed. Being in hibernation for the past two years, Kesha seems to have left her mariachi band, sombrero and general sense of good taste behind. Madonna, on the other hand, commits to her fashion tribute all the way in a strikingly groovy suit, right down to the paisley print and ruffled lace. Bonus points for not getting her boobs and butt out this time.
