What they wore: The pretty, the confusing and the sad at Cannes (part II)

I honestly thought we had said our final word on Cannes for this year. But then Madonna showed up. And that thousand-hour-long Soderbergh movie Che premiered. And, well, the outfits were just too good to leave alone. After the jump, more pretty, confusing, and yes, you know it, very sad.







The Pretty:


Dita von Teese. Wow.

If I was model Petra Nemcova, and I wanted to
get my former boyfriend Sean Penn's attention
(who has since gone back to his wife), I would
wear something exactly like this.

I'm not entirely crazy about Diane Kruger's hair,
(take out the bobby pins! Be free!) but her dress
is really beautiful.

Mary J. Blige thought of everything
with this look—the dress is old-school
feminine but the accessories are kind
of tough.

Julia Ormond is back! And she's wearing a sexy,
Old-Hollywood-worthy emerald green dress.

The Confusing:
Where do I even start with Madonna's getup?
Let's see, she's got an amazing body and this totally
covers it up. And it looks shredded. In a bad way.
It also looks like something Cher would wear. Which is fine for
Cher, but totally confusing for Madonna.

I love Michelle Williams and that is why I think she's
better than a wash-you-out, kind of frumpy,
ivory lace dress.

Rose McGowan's swirly gown looks like something
a cartoon skunk might wear to a formal event, if say,
cartoon skunks wore dresses.

Wait. Why is Star Jones at Cannes?

I can't even tell if Sharon Stone's dress is bad,
I'm too distracted by the confusing thing it's
doing to her boobs.

Maybe this is rude, but I refuse to accept Natalie
Portman's superhero/origami thing as a garment of
clothing. Next.

Milla Jovovich lost all of her baby weight and
her body looks incredible. And yet...something
has gone horribly wrong in a kind of Punky-Brewster-
gets-dressed-up way here.

The Sad:
Who is this woman? And does this not resemble
something a stripper would rip off mid-dance to reveal
her foxy lamé bra and thong?

How many times do I have to tell you people
that throwing on a lace skirt over your swimsuit
does not an outfit make? Bad, Eva Herzigova!

    What was Madonna THINKING?, her stylist sucks for picking that dress for her, I am sure she is sooo fired by now after all the comments people have made.

    Natalie P. looks very proper all the time, this quality is her sense of style, good job to her stylist!!

    I dont think Eva H. looks bad, she has the body, face an reputation to get away with that sort of dress at Cannes.

    First time I see a wrong camera angle for Milla, I think she is amazing in all departments, dont know what happened this time, I think is the photographers fault.

    Overall all the comments are hilarious,

    great job on the reporting,
