CANNES Do @ The 64th CANNES FILM FESTIVAL

From May 11-22 the French Riviera is besieged with celebrity and glamour for this years' 64th Annual Cannes Film Festival. It's where Brad and Angelina leave the kids at home, polish up real nice, and flash those toothy grins for a million blinding flashbulbs; it's where pretty and annoying young celebrities like uber couple Diane Kruger and Joshua Jackson frolic in their fashion finest at night and lazy around all day on a luxury yacht; it's where 1990's mega couple Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas remind us they are still in love when we know better....Never mind the quality films that are being screened and judged, the true spirit of sunny Cannes is really all about celebrities from the world over outdoing each other on the red carpet for those morning photo calls and evening screenings, so put on your sunglasses and let's take a look at some of the fab (and mostly neutral-hued) fashions which created a flashbulb frenzy or two...

London Fashion Week Spring 2011!

New York Fashion Week barely finished just a few days ago, and the world tips a bit to the right as all the fashionistas flock to Great Britain for the always exciting London Fashion Week! Some of the highlights I've seen so far are big frizzy do's at Topshop Unique, lots of flared mini skirts, dizzying flower prints from Erdem, whites in all sorts of textures, gauzy lingerie at Julien Macdonald, brilliant digital prints from Mary Katrantzou, and a Fashion Week time slot set aside today to memorialize Alexander McQueen at St. Paul's Cathedral.
Just keep your fashion cap on as more shows roll in!

CFDA Award Winners Plus Red Carpet Photos

The Council of Fashion Designers of America Awards (CFDA's) took place on Monday night in New York City where designers, celebrities, models, and fashion muses milled about under one fashionably laid back roof to celebrate the talented winners: Marc Jacobs received the coveted Womenswear Designer of the Year award, Marcus Wainwright and David Neville of Rag & Bone won Menswear Designer of the Year, and Alexis Bittar took home Accessory Designer of the Year. And finally, the Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to Michael Kors for 29 golden years in the fashion industry. And now for the Fashion!! A lot of neutrals, a LOT of black, and a sprinkling of patterns:

Sarah Jessica Parker wears Vivienne Westwood in Tokyo...

Tsk, Tsk, it's been a week since I've seen Sex And The City 2, and I have yet to write my RedPoppy review! Rest assured I will be posting it over the weekend, but first let's take a look at Sarah Jessica Parker's stunning tiered Vivienne Westwood dress and twisted chignon (lose the necklace though!) which she wore in Tokyo for her latest SATC 2 premiere. Isn't is so very Carrie Bradshaw? The other ladies looked elegant, if slightly blah, while Samantha aka Kim Cattrall sported a very fetching new 'do...
Have a lovely weekend!! xo RedPoppy


Do you love Kim Cattrall's new look?

Sarah Jessica Parker's Nicholas Kirkwood Heels

Just how stunning are these turquoise Nicholas Kirkwood platforms that SJP has been sporting on not one but three evenings out lately? If I had a pair I would most probably sleep in them as well...
