The Cannes Film Festival officially started Wednesday evening in the South of France, and the fashion has come out in full force. I always love seeing what the ladies wear at this annual week long plus (11 days this year) event as it is always the best of current couture.

The Festival’s Opening Ceremonies included the Gala Premiere of Woody Allen’s new movie, Midnight in Paris, starring Rachel McAdams, her boyfriend Michael Sheen and Owen Wilson. Rachel wore an amazing Marchesa embroidered lace sheer tulle gown right off the runway from the Fall 11 show. It has a sweeping tulle mermaid tail and train and capelet sleeves. Gorgeous. I love how she paired it with neutral nude makeup and soft blonde Old Hollywood side parted waves. She looks stunning.

 At the photocall for her movie on Wednesday afternoon, Rachel wore a white Maxime Simoens Couture dress with floral embellishments. She paired it with casual middle parted hair, pink lips and cheeks, and simple nude pumps. I think she looks so flawless for this occasion.  

 Earlier today in France, stepping out in her third fab look, Rachel wore an adorable gold Monique Lhuillier outfit – sequin embroidered bustier and raw silk trousers from the Spring 2011 RTW collection- to the premier of (official selection frontrunner) Sleeping Beauty
