Inspired by Cannes: Your Best Summer Black-Tie Wedding Style

The Cannes film festival is the most glamorous of all the glamorous film festivals in all the land, because what's more chic than dripping in diamonds and custom couture on the Utopian seaside of the French Riviera? Nothing. This year's festival produced some seriously fantastic red carpet moments from suntanned actresses and models alike, and when I dreamily flipped through the photos I thought to myself: what kind of stylist who is getting married this summer AND who will be spending time on the French Riviera during her honeymoon wouldn't make some sort of a correlation between the enchanting outfits and summer wedding style? A terrible stylist with zero ability to notice parallels maybe, but not me! My man and I are not having a black-tie wedding 'cause that's not our style, but if we WERE, and you were a guest who showed up wearing one of the below looks, I'd just die over your aptitude for looking radiant AND occasion-appropriate at the same time.

For classic girls who like to play it safe, start with this photo of Lana Del Rey.

Dress, necklace, earrings & clutch.



 And if you're more inclined to make a splash, get inspired by Jada Pinkett-Smith.
