Wearing a mauve Lanvin dress to a dinner party celebrating her new Elle cover, Kerry Washington effectively pulled off a look that most girls cannot: a giant organza sack. The ensemble also stood up next to supermodel Iman’s sleek white suit—a true feat.

Nicole Kidman’s doll-like, perfectly molded veneer may be a turnoff to some, but you can’t fault the actress for looking pretty flawless in this Dior Haute Couture electric floral dress, which she wore on opening night at Cannes.

To his credit, David Hasselholf has never really been praised as a style icon. However, that does not excuse the magenta ruffled tuxedo shirt that he wore to the Cannes premiere of Jeune et Jolie on Thursday.

One would think that Great Gatsby director Baz Luhrmann would have enough money to purchase a high-profile travel wardrobe. But Luhrmann took a more relaxed approach when arriving at Nice’s airport for the Cannes Film Festival on Monday. Apparently, that meant a neck purse.
