Cannes state of mind

It’s that time of year again: the Cannes Film Festival. One of my favourite times of year, that always casts a spell on me, not only because I will enjoy almost two weeks of red carpet glamour and film awards, but also because I see the festival as a foretoken of summer. Three things that are more than enough to make me happy. I have been saving this stunning first photo of Jennifer Connelly shot by Mario Testino to welcome summer with, but I think this Cannes inspired post deserves it even more.

    I love finding out what’s happening at Cannes (red carpet & screenings) and look forwards to this year’s offerings. That first image of Jennifer Connelly is absolutely Luscious! Hope you’re having a great start to your Thursday:)x

    Happy Cannes!

    Back in the day, my writing partner thought Jennifer Connelly was the most beautiful woman in the world and I think she still might be–that photo is ravishing. I love this time of the year too–the tease of summer just around the corner.

    I’ve always loved that Vogue editorial so much! This photo and the other one, where she is wearing a stripey jumper are my favourite ones. I have a feeling anyone and everyone who is a tiny bit famous is now in Cannes right now.
    Hope you are enjoying your day!

    Ah! The elusive summer is finally here! Eva Green is a firm favourite of mine so of course I just adore that picture of her!

    I do love the dramatic flair of the Cannes red carpet and it’s always exciting to hear about the great films winning awards there. That photo of Eva Green is stunning!

    First the MET and now Cannes…I agree with you dear Ada, a great seaon for admiring beautiful fashion and of course the Giambattista Valli gown that Diane was wearing during the opening evening was just stunning!
