Cannes best & worst fashion: Naomi Campbell, Meg Ryan & Kate Beckinsale

63rd Cannes Film Festival - Screening of Biutiful - Day 6

I’ve been wanting to do just a fashion post for the Cannes Film Festival ever since the the day after Robin Hood premiered. While there was definitely some spectacular fashion happening on that night, opening night, so far Cannes has been pretty solid, fashion-wise. Sure, Kate Beckinsale is on the jury so she’s been everywhere in a dazzling array of “look at me!” gowns. But some other people have been making waves too. Like Naomi Campbell, above. How f-cking hideous is that dress on her? On someone else, it might not look like gold tin foil, but on her… yeah.

Naomi Watts has been all over the festival. I think she’s promoting something crazy like four films, including Fair Game (the Valerie Plame movie), which hasn’t even premiered yet. Here is Naomi wearing an absolutely amazing black gown to the Biutful premiere. On someone else, it might have been plain. But it looks amazing on her.

I don’t like it when Naomi wears pale colors like this. It washes her out – plus, the red lipstick isn’t helping. This is Naomi at the You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger premiere:

And here’s Naomi’s low-key/high-fashion for a photo call. Killer shoes, and she should wear more jewel tones. They work on her so well.

Some may say that Meg Ryan is no longer jacking her face. They may be right – her lips don’t seem as ridiculous as before, and she doesn’t look frozen and waxy. But whatever she was doing left lasting damage. The dress is pretty though.

Excuse me. *Picks up pieces of exploded panties.* Ladies and gentlemen, a little Javier Bardem…

I just think it’s so funny that Kate Beckinsale is posing with her leg out like this. The dress isn’t terrible, at all, but can make anything look boring and desperate. It just feels like (to me), she’s throwing out her leg like a ham hock.

Kate again, this time looking very Eva Longoria/Vanna White.

Speaking of, here’s Eva. Once again, I don’t hate the dress, it’s just boring and game-show-hostess on her. Plus, every time she shows up at these events, I can just read her thoughts: “One day, I’m going to be a big enough star to actually have a reason to be here.

Much like Naomi Watts, Josh Brolin is in several of the movies premiering in Cannes. His wife Diane Lane showed up to support him too. I like the blue much more than the black. The black is way too old.

Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps - Premiere - 63rd Cannes Film Festival

Guess who wasn’t even invited to Cannes but still wanted to make an appearance somewhere in the South of France? Oh, J.Lo. I love this crazy bitch. Here they are in Monte Carlo:

And that’s the end. I’m sure I’ve missed a lot of people you love or love to hate, so my bad. I also left off Salma Hayek’s appearances, which I covered yesterday. I’m sure there will be another one of these before the festival is over, so I’ve left somebody out, just put them in the comments!

    La Lopez look lovely, the bitch has to hustle

  2. Виски says:

    Where’s Naomi’s breast? 🙂

  3. Malorie says:

    Right there, I can even see her nipples!

  4. Maritza says:

    That black dress is awful on Naomi Watts, besides being plain and boring it looks like she is missing her left breast.

  5. Gracie says:

    Dream on Eva. Never gonna happen.

  6. ViktoryGin says:

    J.Lo “happens” to be in the south of France while Cannes just “happens” to be going on? Hmmm….looks a little desperate.

    Naomi Watts looks gorgeous.

  7. Strawberry says:

    Naomi’s collarbones are *scaring* me in that second pic. Isn’t she a mother to two young kids? How does she pick them up – with a crane? Scary, boney skinny…

  8. lway says:

    @ Kaiser – you are so AWESOME. I love the things you write!

    Naomi Campbell is an ugly bitch – that’s all i have to say …..

    Oh and that dress on Naomi Watts (Pic 4) – no,no,no – it looks like something is about to climb out from under there…..it sticks out too much

  9. lucy2 says:

    Love Naomi Watts 2nd dress, but it is a bit washed out on her. Would like both of Kate B’s if the 2nd one didn’t have that goofy bow tie thing.

    Eva – I love the dress itself, but it looks terrible on her. She looks really square and the top is way too tight. Very unflattering, and why is she there again?
    I like Diane’s blue and Meg’s plum colored.

  10. xxodettexx says:

    i love the pale dress naomi is wearing but i think it would look better on someone with less pale skin and darker hair and those yellow shoes, love them too!! meh about eva and kate, josh and diane look gorgeous

  11. bros says:

    naomi C. is a bitch but she is wearing the hell out of that dress. sorry kaiser. I agree with everything else.

  12. Rachel says:

    Would someone please, PLEASE find Naomi Watts a sandwich STAT! Extra mayo. Extra cheese. Extra everything! Holy ET’s clavicle!

    And I would like to be Diane Lane when I grow up.

  13. Julie says:

    Agree about the black dress on Naomi! Kate is hilarious as well as Eva. To me it looks as though Meg needs to gain…even more than Naomi. Her face looks like crap not only because of all the work but because she’s too thin.

  14. fizXgirl314 says:

    Meg Ryan, bitch eat a sandwich.

    Bardem looks a little grotesque.

    Isn’t Diane Lane great? She’s the only one who isn’t busting a hip trying to pose. She looks so natural, not overly made up, not orange… just relaxed and natural.

    I don’t get why stars have to try so hard posing… it doesn’t look good. It looks desperate and it looks fake… Show a little humility… jeez!

  15. g says:

    brolin very good in ‘w’

  16. bellaluna says:

    Naomi’s dress looks like a multi-coloured folding windshield sunscreen.

  17. amanda says:

    Love Javier Bardem. There’s something ugly and handsome about him at the same time! Sexy. And Kate Beckinsale- I don’t get it. I think she is pretty, nice body, elegant, etc. But, my husband LOVES her. She is one of the only actresses he ever comments on (possibly the only one) and he thinks she is just about the hottest thing going. I just don’t get it. Obvi people feel the same because she is at these kind of events, despite the fact that I am not sure what the last movie is that she was in nor am I that clear on which movies she has been in, in the past (Serendipity, Pearl Harbor, that Underworld film, and something last year about being cold…what else?).

  18. Melissa says:

    LOL at the “Excuse me. *Picks up pieces of exploded panties.* Ladies and gentlemen, a little Javier Bardem…” line!!! That made my day:)

  19. Carmelatta says:

    I have to disagree. I don’t think ANY of these people looks geat. Naomi Watts looks flat out terrible. That black number looks like a set of jersey sheets from Target. That muticolored number looks like a beach towel and there is nothing in that color scheme that warrants those shoes. And that pale Band-Aid colored dress? Disgusting. It kind of reminds me of Madonna’s Gultier bustier with the cone ta-tas in her Vogue video.
    Naomi Campbell looks like she belongs around Mr. T’s neck, Diane and Josh can just go home, The Why are YOU Here?! Award goes to Beckinsale and Longoria and Javier Bardem looks like a vagrant.

  20. original kate says:

    javier bardem is one sexy beast. like kaiser, i could do with a little javier…or ALOT of javier.

  21. sdcs says:

    I, on the contrary, LOVE the multi colored tone with the yellow shoes on Naomi. It’s a very cool/boho chic ensemble,to me,and she in particular looks great in it.

    It’s something you might actually see someone wearing in life…any day of the week.

    Doesn’t look beach cover-up to me.

    Eva and Kate: Why must people always wear these tranny type dresses, or prom gown look alikes, to every red carpet event? they are not glamourous-they are kinda trashy, actually, most of the time. It’s a rare, old school # that is truly classic and classy, in my book. uugh. The rest of them, no comment. Just like Naomi’s mult colored, and her black one.

  22. girl says:

    Remember that old criticism of Nancy Reagan back in the 80’s? That she looked like a stop sign with a perm?

    Ladies and Gentlemen: I think the 2010’s have found their answer to that in Meg Ryan.

  23. Ruffian9 says:

    Meg? Try a new hairstyle sweetheart…it’s time. Maybe a nice blunt bob? Kate B, Christ on a pony, stop trying so damn hard. You’re lovely, really, ease up.

  24. CB Rawks says:

    Why does Eva look so wide and boxy? Ugly.

    And damn those mustard yellow shoes on Naomi are hideous!

  25. Aspie says:

    I think Naomi Campbell looks amazing in that dress. She’s beaufiful and her figure is fantastic.

    Naomi Watts looks horrible in that black, boring dress that completely washes her out. She looks much nicer in the paler, pink dress, though.
