One of the old favourite colours that came back to dominate the Cannes 2012 red carpet was red. Having been a bit absent of late in the trends, red really does always make a dramatic and sophisticated statement. Which makes it even more of a surprise that dear Kristen Stewart wore it. I mean she looks amazing. Absolutely drop dead gorgeous. Not something that we usually associate with her rather grubby ways. On trend, elegant and beautifully presented in this Reem Acra gown. What a win!

And while we are all about red, how about the magnificent Julianna Margulies? I bloody adore this woman. I mean who doesn't watch The Good Wife and sit in admiration of her amazingness? No one, that's who. This gown is by Reed Krakoff. It is accessorised in gold. Like Julianna herself. Pure gold. And look how happy she is too. Ahhh, lovely.
