Confession: 12 days of red carpet recaps is too much for even the most style obsessed (this girl). Please accept my sincere apology for grouping days 8-12 together in the epic red carpet journey that is Cannes 2013.

Day 8 Official Selection: Alessandra Ambrosio in Elie Saab

With so many neutral palettes flooding the French Riviera this year, Alessandra’s canary yellow gown was a refreshing contrast.

Day 9 Official Selection: Rosie Huntington-Whitely in Dior

Effortless, sexy and timeless: this high-low Dior dress suits RHW perfectly. Plus, she looks ultra-comfortable and supremely confident in her choice…always important.

Day 10 Official Selection: Olivia Palermo in a Roberto Cavalli dress and Zara jacket

Olivia definitely brings the shine factor in her shimmering gold halter gown. While the dress is gorgeous, what I really like about her look is how she mixed high and low fashion and took the risk to wear it on the red carpet. Points for Miss Palermo.

Day 11 Official Selection: Bianca Balti in Dolce & Gabbana

I can’t even imagine how much this dress weighs – possibly more than the stunning Italian model – but it is worth its weight in glamour. The deep red color and black underpinnings are made to be shown off on the red carpet. This is what all of Cannes should be.

Day 12 Official Selection: Nicole Kidman in Giorgio Armani

At the film fest’s closing ceremony, jury member Nicole Kidman did not disappoint. The structured plunging neckline and touch of beading look divine on her statuesque silhouette. This is one of my favorite looks of the entire festival, and I’m so glad she saved it for the final day.

Fabulous parties, exclusive premieres and an unpredictable red carpet continue as the first week of Cannes comes to a close. Trends I’m noticing thus far include soft, pale hues of blush, ivory, gold and nude, up-to-there slits and floral embellishments.

Day 6 Official Selection: Milla Jovovich in Chanel

For day 6, actress Milla Jovovich gets my pick. I know it may be controversial, but this sequined Chanel stunner channels retro chic and I love how she styled it with dark eyeliner and messy hair to add a tough, modern edge. Plus, I’m all for a look that takes a risk.

Day 7 Official Selection: Erin Heatherton in Roberto Cavalli

Another Cavalli makes the cut. The pale gold shade and Gatsby-esque drop waist make an elegant statement on the gorgeous model. Her red lips are the perfect accessory and add a sophisticated old Hollywood vibe.

Over the weekend, two of the big “mainstream” films premiered at Cannes: The Hunger Games Catching Fire of the famous book series and Inside Llewyn Davis, directed by Joel and Ethan Coen. While the competition for best dressed was tough, here’s where I landed for days 4 and 5 of the Festival.

Day 4 Official Selection: Model Liya Kebede in Roberto Cavalli

I’m loving the drop waist and long sleeves. It feels so modern and different than the sleeveless gowns we see so often.

Day 5 Official Selection: Carey Mulligan in Vionnet

Stark black and white plus a plunging neckline and structured fit make this gown perfect for Carey’s second big movie opening of the Festival, Inside Llewyn Davis.

A $1 million hotel jewelry heist, gun shots fired, unpredictable weather… this year’s Cannes film fest is anything but tame. Thankfully, the red carpet is also heating up. For day 3 it was difficult for me to pick just one look. Vote to tell me if you agree or disagree with my final choice!

Festival de Cannes: 12 days of fabulous-ness where celebrities and film industry insiders frolic in the French Riviera. Oh, and they also screen just-released and upcoming films and hand out all sorts of fancy awards.

But let’s be honest…Cannes is nothing without the fashion. “But Lisa K,” you may say, “twelve days of red carpet is a lot to keep up with!” Well not to worry. I’ll scour the internet, bring you the best look of the day, you decide if it’s a hit or miss. Deal? Let’s begin.
