My favorite look: Naomi Campbell

In: Vintage Alaïa, Roger Vivier shoes and Easter Bruni jewels

Why… For its second apparition, Naomi Campbell radically changes style and points on the absolute simplicity of a white dress with asymmetrical neckline. From a photographic point of view it is simply brilliant: the silhouette is valued in a splendid way and that neckline immediately captures the gaze. The hairstyle, very 90s, discreetly evokes its deep bond with Azzine Alaïa. An apparition that turns into a discreet, successful and touching tribute.

The opinion of 🇮🇹: The queen hit once again: I appreciate in particular that he did not want to exaggerate with a necklace that would have been excessive. Less is more, Naomi knows it too.

The opinion of 🇪🇸: What a nice tribute to Azzedine by one of his muses, a few days after the disappearance of Christoph von Weyhe, the former partner and close collaborator of the stylist. And what a joy to see Naomi dressing – and hairsty himself – exactly for what he is: a supermodel of the 90s.

My favorite look: Renate Reinveve

In: Louis Vuitton

Why… What does this look tell us? That the same necklines are not suitable for everyone. This, for example, is so dramatically deep and wide that it is prohibitive for many, but simply perfect – sensual and not at all vulgar – for the talented Norwegian actress. The feeling of the fabric, the peplum that is returning in vogue after a few seasons, the refined and less banal nuance than one might think complete this picture that is a candidate for the title of masterpiece.

The opinion of 🇪🇸: I have a weakness for Renate, and all in this Louis Vuitton Look tailor -made – from the Satin fabric, to the lilac color, up to the silhouette with peplum – only confirms how the immense talent of Renate as an actress is accompanied by a particular charisma, capable of supporting a dress that, described without a photo, may seem complex, while she makes it natural and cool.

The verdict of 🇫🇷: This Louis Vuitton dress makes me think of a precious stone that Nicolas Ghesquière would have sculpted like a jewel. There are volume, amplitude, graphism and the imposing necklace also enhances this dress even more, perfect for the red carpet.

My favorite look: Alessandro Borghi

In: Valentino

Why… First the double -breasted jacket, then the paw pants and finally the polka dot scarf! This look, created specifically for the actor by Alessandro Michele, also has the merit of making us discover an interpreter of which, so far, I had not heard of – which will be unforgivable – but which I will certainly start following. Someone who dares to wear a polka dot foulard on the red carpet of Cannes deserves all my respect and attention. Thanks to the two Alessandro, Michele and Borghi, for this wonderful dose of Dolce Vita.

The opinion of 🇫🇷: A thousand times yes! Alessandro Borghi escapes the constraints of the classic smoking. Everything is spot on: the cream -colored double -breasted jacket, the implications of the classic cuffs that appear just enough, the paw pants from the 70s touch, the polka dot jabot. It is a very sculptural look, very cinematographic, as if it had just left the set to climb the steps of the festival.

The opinion of 🇮🇹: But what can we tell him? This magical trio of villages, Michele and Valentino is a true Italian pride. And let’s face it: we hadn’t seen such a sexy actor on Croisette this year yet. PS: I also want slightly flared pants. But will they be good for everyone?
