Milla Jovovich @ 2011 Cannes Film Festival - in Prada red sequin collar dress & Atelier Versace liquid gold at amFAR Gala

Spot: Prada & Atelier Versace dresses as seen on Milla Jovovich at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival - 'La Conquete' Premiere & amfAR Cinema against Aids Gala.

More highlights from the 2011 Cannes Film Festival, and how about the lovely Milla Jovovich..? It's easy to forget that Milla started her days as a model, but when she looks like this on a red carpet, it's very easy to remember her modelling career! Great poses.

At the 2011 Cannes premiere of 'La Conquete' she wore a stunning dress with red sequin collar & belt dress by Prada (modified), the like of which we have NOT seen on any red carpet. For me, I can't hide it... I love love love this on her! The shape of the dress, with drop-waist and belt, has a 20s flapper vibe to it, which she accented perfectly with retro soft curls. Matching red lippy, matching little red evening bag... sigh.  Read more: Milla Jovovich @ 2011 Cannes Film Festival - in Prada red sequin collar dress & Atelier Versace...

amfAR in Givenchy Couture: Naomi Campbell fringe dress & Courtney Love @ Cinema against Aids gala at Cannes

Spot: Givenchy Haute Couture dresses as seen on Naomi Campbell & Courtney Love at the 2011 Cannes International Film Festival - Day 9 -  amfAR Cinema against Aids Gala.

More from the amFar Cinema against Aids gala held during the 2011 Cannes International Film festival.. and I know this is supposed to be Fashion for a Good Cause, but I just can't find it in me to love these looks.

Dresses from recent Givenchy Haute Couture collections have been unusual and edgy, but that doesn't mean we haven't seen some winning looks. Cate Blanchett looked fabulous at the 2011 Academy Awards in a most unusual lilac pleated gown with delicate beaded applique. And reader response was overwhelmingly positive. Her hair was short and chic, and the (flawless!) styling let the dress get all the attention.

amfAR in Chanel Couture: Uma Thurman, Kirsten Dunst & Karolina Kurkova @ Cinema against Aids gala at Cannes 2011

Spot: Chanel Haute Couture as seen on Uma Thurman, Kirsten Dunst & Karolina Kurkova at the 2011 Cannes International Film Festival - Day 9 - amfAR Cinema against Aids gala.

One of the major red carpet events at the Cannes Film Festival is the amfAR Cinema against Aids gala - this is classified as Fashion for a Good Cause (which means they all get thumbs up from me!), but what a fabulous photo gallery... these are some gorgeous looks.

Being a red carpet event in Cannes, you know Chanel will be well represented... we have three high profile wearings of Chanel Haute Couture, all of them quite different, and from different seasons.

The unofficial Queen of Cannes, judge Uma Thurman went for "vintage" Chanel, if you can call Fall/Winter 2008 vintage! She has rocked the red carpet at every event, and at the amFar gala she went for sleek Read more: amfAR in Chanel Couture: Uma Thurman, Kirsten Dunst & Karolina Kurkova @ Cinema against Aids gala...

Shopping Spot: Buy See by Chloe blue floral dress online as seen on Christy Turlington at the 2011 Concert For A Healthy Birth at the Canal Room in New York.

Taking a break from the 2011 Cannes Film Festival (yes, there is more red carpet fashion coming, it just doesn't stop!), it's time for some online shopping spots!

She is one of those supermodels that just seems to look better with age, dontcha think? There muct have been some hidden fountain of youth on the set of George Michael's Freedom 90 video (see clip below if you don't know what I'm talking about). Christy has actually forged herself a successfuly career outside of the fashion industry - she has also become an advocate for a number of causes.

In New York last week, she attended the 2011 Concert For A Healthy Birth at the Canal Room, she is an avid Read more: Shop Christy Turlington See by Chloe blue floral dress & Azzedine Alaia shoe boots online @ '2011...

Cannes 2011: Kirsten Dunst in Chloe ochre dress & Rodarte teal & black gown @ 'Melancholia' Photocall & Premiere

Spot: Chloe & Rodarte dresses as seen on Kirsten Dunst at the 2011 Cannes International Film Festival - Day 8 - 'Melancholia' Photocall & Premiere.

Kirsten Dunst put HER best foot forward at the 2011 Cannes Film festival last night! She definitely stays out of the limelight when she's not promoting a film, so it is nice to see her on a red carpet. She was at Cannes to promote her new film 'Melanchola'.

It's also easy to forget that her first major role was opposite Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt when she was just 12 years old! She has enjoyed some high profile romances too, I still remember her with Jake Gyllenhaal, then Orlando Bloom (after they made 'Elizabethtown'). I saw her on Rachel Ray recently, making a comment that you should never date actors!

Jodie Foster in navy Giorgio Armani vs Bar Refaeli in Roberto Cavalli @ 'The Beaver' Cannes Premiere - and Leonardo & Blake?

Spot: Navy blue gowns as seen on Jodie Foster & Bar Refaeli at the 2011 Cannes International Film Festival - Day 7 - 'The Beaver' Premiere.

What a busy week of red carpet fashion, yes we have more from the 2011 Cannes International Film Festival, the premiere of "The Beaver', directed by Jodie Foster, starring Jodie and Mel Gibson. She proved what a loyal friend she is to Mel - this was his very first public appearance on a red carpet in many many months (for reasons we are all familiar with!), and she stayed by his side for the length of the red carpet. We don't have one photo of her without him!

Jodie has always been a supporter of all things Giorgio Armani, and it looks like she chose a navy blue asymmetric dress from the Spring/Summer 2011 runway. Have to say, Jodie is just a class act.

Mia Wasikowska @ 2011 Cannes Film Festival - wearing Valentino, and Roland Mouret red dress available online!

Shopping Spot: Buy Roland Mouret red dress online as seen on Mia Wasikowska from 2011 Cannes International Film Festival.

Fashion photos from the 2011 Cannes Film Festival come at a fast and furious pace, and in many cases,  celebrities being snapped on the red carpet have nothing to do with the film (odd, but true). When Italian director Nanni Moretti Paolo was asked by the Guardan if he was pleased with the attention his premiere received as Cheryl Cole was in attendance, he responded "Who is he? What job does he do". Ouch. But I get it.

So I've decided to combine fashion spots, to make it easier to see who wore what! When you want to review the style of a certain celeb, it's nice to see everything in one place!
