Cannes Film Festival 2017: Fashion Statements & Stumbles

The Cannes Film Festival 2017  just wrapped up after an impressive ten days where, of course, the fashion statements were as gorgeous as the French Riviera vistas.  The prestigious event serves as Hollywood’s litmus testing ground for films, both nationally and internationally, and caters to the elite of the film industry. Even the most traveled celebrity, or film executive, remains in awe of the grandeur and opulence that this Festival delivers each and every year.

Setting the Scene at the Cannes Film Festival 2017

Making contacts and solidifying major Hollywood deals is the raison d’être for the Cannes Film Festival.  Cannes, France itself is a location famous for the glitzy hotels, cars, beaches, and prominent visitors. The location itself has become one of the busiest tourist destinations among elite jet-setters and famous celebrities and is the perfect stage for grand and opulent fashions.

In the spirit of these highly anticipated red carpet looks, we’ve attached creative film titles to each category based on some of the most popular trends we saw throughout the Festival’s events

Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen

Like the tagline of the Lindsay Lohan 2004 cult classic says, ” So much drama so little time”!  These ladies were in full competition for the spot of “top dog” of the Cannes red carpet. The bigger the dress the better, but one young starlet’s dress may have taken the prize with a well-timed malfunction.
