On Trend: Cannes International Film Festival

Every year, actors and actresses from around the globe flock to a small resort town in the south of France to watch some films and hit a lot of red carpets. Here are some of our favorite looks from this year's fête so far.

Aishwarya Rai

The Bollywood (and now Hollywood) star dazzles onlookers with her navy blue and gold eye makeup at the premiere of Sleeping Beauty. We also like her messy top knot.

Angelina Jolie

At a press event for Kung Fu Panda 2, the mom of 6 sticks to her staple look of loose waves and heavily-lined eyes.

Bryce Dallas Howard

Howard tames her scarlet mane (just think of that humid Mediterranean air!) into a braided, nape-of-neck knot at the premiere of her new film, Restless.

Diane Kruger

Our favorite German actress (and trend-setter) pairs a messy side braid with immaculate makeup. We're loving how the loose tendrils dress down her black-tie look.

Lady Gaga

Perhaps inspired by the Fall 2011 Giorgio Armani show, Lady Gaga doubles up on eyeliner—and hair color shades—for her Cannes performance.

Emily Browning

So long, Sucker Punch. The Sleeping Beauty star amps up her ingenue look with a silver-y smoky eye.

Mia Wasikowska

The Restless star pins back her newly-cropped cut into a modern flat chingon for the premiere of her new Gus Van Sant flick.

Melanie Laurent

The stunning French actress (she was amazing in Inglorious Basterds!) opts for an icy-pink blush to match her lighter hair at the Opening Ceremony for the film fest.

Rachel McAdams

In just one of her many head-turning Cannes looks (and with a nod to the festival's location), McAdams vamps up a neutral-toned pantsuit with a Bardot-esque coif and pink lipstick.

Tilda Swinton

Swinton ditches her minimal style in favor of fuschia lips and rosy cheeks. We love how this brighter makeup palette softens her look.

Rosario Dawson and Vanessa Hudgens

We imagine these two actresses bonded over more than their matching looks of dewy skin, coral lips, and glossy strands while attending a Calvin Klein party for the brand's Euphoria perfume at the famous Martinez Hotel.

Cecile de France

At the The Kid with a Bike premiere, this Belgian actress sculpts her curls into face-framing waves, a la the Spring 2011 Prada runway show.

Gwen Stefani

Stefani might be in her fifth decade—she's 41—but her icy blonde curls, electric lips, and fair skin (SPF pays off!) help her dominate the red carpet at a movie premiere.

Karolina Kurkova

The Czech model (and new mom) accents her long ponytail with a braided, modern twist. Winged eyeliner is the only makeup she needs to dress up her sun-kissed glow.

Fan Bingbing

At the The Tree of Life premiere, the Chinese actress rocks matte lips, full lashes, and flawless skin. We love how her Heidi-seque braids create a seamless halo around her head.
