CANNES DO RIVIERA STYLE

Cannes; playground to the rich and glamorous, a veritable haven for European socialites and wealthy oil heirs who are required to do little more in life than top up their bronzed bodies on the deck of their parents yachts. The palm tree lined marina and mountainous panorama makes Cannes seem like the perfect setting for a glamorous television show (or a fantastic reality show –yes, we would be the first to tune into an episode of the Real Housewives Of Cannes) which is probably why the French Southern city was designated as the perfect location to host the worlds most glamorous film festival.
The prestigious Cannes Film Festival returns this week with a roster of A-Lister´s that have us salivating over the potential of having so many celebrities concentrated in one small area.
With the red carpet historically offering up a multitude of glamorous red carpet looks, we take a look back at some of our favourite Cannes styles and show you how to recreate the look for yourself.
Cara Delevigne Cannes 2013
Cara Delevigne
2013 was most definitely the year of Cara Delevigne, and after capturing the world’s heart with her unkempt brow and unnatural facial expressions, we were happy to see Cara take a more demure turn for the Cannes unveiling of The Great Gatsby movie. We haven’t quite worked out why Cara was actually at the event, but if Tara Reid can make an appearance then no one is going to turn away Cara. After spending the day hob-nobbing with the likes of Georgia May Jagger on Roberto Cavalli’s yacht , Cara made her Cannes debut in a black lace gown by Burberry accompanied by $100,000 worth of Chopard jewels that made her look every inch a true supermodel. Copy Cara’s red-carpet stealing style with the stunning Mavie gown by Tarik Ediz. The plunging neckline of the gown is accented with a crystal brooch that simply looks divine when paired with the Crystal Headlight necklace by Kenneth Jay Lane. Complete Cara’s Cannes style with Ophelia earrings by Dannijo and a smear of bright red lipstick to bring this show-stopping look to life.

Diane Kruger cannes 2014
Diane Kruger
We’re pretty sure that you could put Diane Kruger in a bin liner and she would make it look amazing, so it wasn’t a huge surprise that she stole the show at the 65th Cannes Film Festival dazzling the crowd in an ethereal Chanel gown in 2012. In a beautiful mint green that perfectly complimented her porcelain complexion, Diane went for subtlety when it came to her jewellery with simple Jaeger-LeCoultre earrings and a delicate bracelet. Try this look for yourself with the Catherine Deane, Owren gown in the same asymmetric style as Diane. Pair this diaphanous piece with the Phillipa earrings by Dannijo and swept back hair to create a red carpet look that would rival Diane’s natural glamour.
Ashwariya Rai Cannes 2011
Ashwariya Rai
Ashwariya Rai has long proven herself to be the queen of Cannes, astounding us every year with an array of stunning gowns. We love the beautifully intricate asymmetric gown Ashwariya wore to the opening ceremony of the 2011 edition of the competition at the Palais des Festivals. Cut in a flattering asymmetric fit with peplum detail this lace dress empasized Ashwariya’s statuesque silhouette. Recreate the look in theNotte by Marchesa, Carmen gown in a flattering latte tone this dress is perfect for black tie dressing. Accessorise this piece with the Dannijo Vaughn ring for some understated glamour.

WHAT´S YOUR WAG STYLE?

Remember the 2006 World Cup? Victoria Beckham was Queen of the England WAGs, Cheryl Cole was her lady in waiting and Coleen Rooney, Alex Curran and Abbey Clancy were amongst those bringing up the rear. Famously banned from the 2010 World Cup in South Africa by then-England manager Fabio Capello, the WAGs are back and heading to Brazil, much to our delight.

While VB may have abdicated the throne and Cheryl no longer holds a WAG title, there are still plenty of worldwide WAGs to hold your tabloid interest over World Cup month, so even if you’re not that interested in the goings on on the pitch then you can at least delight in these stylishly elegant WAGs.
Shakira
Pop star and reality TV judge Shakira, has always had a rock chic edge to her style. We love how Shakira’s style has evolved since she the birth of her son with Spanish centre back Gerard Pique from sexed up grunge to a more relaxed earth mother look.
Jourdan Dunn

Yet when she’s not jetting from London to Milan Jourdan is often seen donning uber relaxed sportswear and oversized jumpers that give a new meaning to the phrase “street chic”.
Irina Shayk
Victoria’s Secret Model and all round beautiful person Irina Shayk will be seen in the stand this world cup supporting her Portuguese beau the former worlds most expensive player Christiano Ronaldo. When she’s not cheering on Ronaldo, Shayk is often seen showing off her killer figure classic tailoring with a modern twist. A lover of clean and sleek lines Irina’s style is comparable to our favourite WAG Victoria Beckham.
Sara Carbonero
You may not of heard of her but he on the look out for this Spanish beauty when she’s reporting on the World Cup this year. The sports reporter and girlfriend of Spanish goalkeeper and captain Iker Casillias is somewhat of style icon renowned for her feminine take on off duty dressing.

Nail Art How-To: A Faded French Tip

There are two reasons this faded French tip is a mani must: 1. It's bright and will instantly make you happy. 2. It's fool-proof. Julie Kandelic, creative director of Paint Box Nail Salon, shows you how to get this look in just two easy steps.
1. Prep and paint. File your nails into the desired shape, push back your cuticles — DO NOT CUT THEM! — and apply a basecoat, such as Essie Grow Stronger. Then, paint your nails with two coats of a bubblegum pink, like Chanel Le Vernis Nail Colour in "May." 
2. Create the French tip. Drop a few beads of orange polish onto a small piece of foil. Next, cut a makeup sponge into a triangle (so you can use all three sides as you paint your nails), and dip one of the edges of the sponge into the orange lacquer. Then, pat the sponge along the tip of the nail in a crescent shape, creating the French tip. Don't worry if it isn't perfect; that's the point of the faded look. It's not supposed to be ombré, but it isn't supposed to be pristine either. Finish with a layer of topcoat of your choice on each nail.
