WHO: Fan Bingbing
WHERE & WHEN: “Jeune & Jolie” 66th Annual Cannes Film Festival Premiere on May 16, 2013.
WEARING: Elie Saab Haute Couture dress, Judith Leiber clutch & Chopard Fine Jewelry.

MY VERDICT: It was a bit sunnier tonight at the Cannes Film Festival, and part of that was due to the stunning butter yellow gown that Fan Bingbing wore the premiere of “Jeune & Jolie”. Fan glided gown the red carpet in a Elie Saab gown, from the designer’s Spring 2012 Haute Couture collection. The full skirt is obviously the major focal point of the dress, but the dazzling bead work of the three-quarter sleeve bodice doesn’t lack for luster either. What a beauty.

Fan accessorized her effortlessly glamorous ensemble with a Judith Leiber crystal clutch, Chopard heart-shaped diamond and briolette drop earrings, and a matching ring. An elegant up-do and fiery red lips were the finishing touches.

WHO: Fan Bingbing
WHERE & WHEN: “The Great Gatsby” 66th Annual Cannes Film Festival Opening Ceremony on May 15, 2013.
WEARING: Louis Vuitton dress, Chopard jewelry

MY VERDICT: One of the great things about the Cannes Film Festival is that you can always expect to see a variety of glamorous fashion moments from Fan Bingbing. The Chinese actress was on-hand for the opening ceremony premiere of “The Great Gatsby” where she wore a Louis Vuitton rose silk jacquard paisley strapless gown; the upper portion of the bustier is beautifully embroidered with sequins in degradé. This is a non-presented design from the Fall/Winter 2013-2014 collection.

The dress is beautiful, and it suited Fan without a doubt. Despite the rainy weather, Fan’s cascading jet black tresses were picture perfect in sculpted Veronica Lake-inspired waves. She finished off with cat-lined eyes, diamond jewelry from Chopard–including rose cut diamond drop earrings and a fancy cut white diamond bracelet, and a Louis Vuitton gold tassel minaudière.

WHERE & WHEN: 85th Academy Awards on February 24, 2013.
WEARING: Marchesa dress, Chopard jewelry

MY VERDICT: I guess there comes a time in a young woman’s life when she wants to live out her Barbie dream of wearing head-to-toe hot pink—centered around a full ball gown.  Fan Bingbing clearly experienced that this year at the Oscars when she hit the red carpet in a vibrant fuchsia asymmetric silk-satin gown by Marchesa with a matching fluro lip and pink Chopard jewels.  I thought her gems were beautiful, but this dress was one of those looks better left on the runway.  The little bits of the design that stuck out to me so much on the catwalk didn’t translate on Fan.  I also felt the lips to be a little too much, and the hair took it into Disney Princess territory—which is fine, if you’re a Disney princess.

The Ritz Hotel was crawling with stars today in Paris, France as front row seats filled quickly for the Fall 2012 Haute-Couture fashion show for Versace, held during Paris Fashion Week.

After completing promo for “People Like Us” in NYC, Elizabeth Banks was spotted in a silver-grey sleeveless sheath dress with metallic elements from the Fall 2012 collection. With an unkempt up ‘do, she accessorized with a silver clutch and matching suede platform FW12 pumps.

Jessica Alba wore the same pumps in black to compliment her Fall 2012 crystal-encrusted black leather strapless cocktail dress. | continue reading..

Fan Bingbing attended the L’Oréal Paris 15th anniversary dinner, held during the 68th Annual Cannes Film Festival, on Thursday wearing a gown from the Spring 2012 haute couture collection by Valentino.

The Chinese actress selected this violet and yellow floral printed design over nude sheer organza with strapless nude lining.

Unlike Lily Collins and Sarah Jessica Parker at the Met Gala earlier this month, Fan didn’t have a ‘dated’ look while wearing this. | continue reading..

We’re finally starting to see some of the Fall 2012 looks from Elie Saab emerging during the 2012 Cannes Film Festival and, naturally, Fan Bingbing is one of the first ladies to wear a look from the collection.

The Chinese actress attended the Trophée Chopard party on Thursday wearing a gorgeous emerald green bead-enriched gown with a plunging open neckline and cap-sleeves.

The color and cut of the dress is so dreamy, I can’t take it. Who wouldn’t want to be swathed in such a show-stopper? This design was made for the red carpet, and I wish that had been the place to see it debuted, but Fan looked beautiful nonetheless.

She completed her look with a diamond and emerald necklace with matching earrings a black acrylic minaudière to compliment her dark manicure.

What did you think of Fan’s sparkling look?

Fan Bingbing commanded the red carpet tonight during the 65th Annual Cannes Film Festival premiere of “De Rouille et D’os” rocking a fully embroidered dramatic cape.

The Chinese actress is always a favorite of mine during Cannes; like most people, I find myself awaiting her next look… which is usually better than the last.

For the premiere this evening, Fan wore a pale taupe fully embroidered invisible tulle gown with a matching full length, high neck cape from the Spring 2012 haute couture collection by Elie Saab. | continue reading..

It was a major fête last night at the Musee Des Arts Decoratifs as the models, movie stars, musicians, and more, came out for the ‘Louis Vuitton – Marc Jacobs: The Exhibition’ opening!

It doesn’t matter if it was cold and raining outside in Paris last night, Sarah Jessica Parker was in a spring mindset when she attended the party. The 46-year-old actress arrived wearing a purple three-quarter length coat, but removed it to show off her white maxi dress with an empire waist and pastel floral prints. | continue reading..

Fan Bingbing was among the stars attending the Fall 2012 presentation for Louis Vuitton yesterday morning, which kicked off the final day of Paris Fashion Week. The presentation, held at Cour Caree du Louvre, was set up like an old train station which was even cooler than the carousel design he had for the previous season!

The 30-year-old actress arrived in a very theatrical look — a white stencil dress with a cream coat draped over her shoulders. Fan kind of reminded me of Lucille Ball with her curly red wig tied up in a white lace scarf! | continue reading..
