• What the heck was the lady in the red dress and gold stars thinking!? Over representation of the Chinese flag or....not really...sure....??

• Kimura Takuya looking good!!! :3

• My god. Fan Bing Bing looks regal. And I like the Doraemon dress. So whimsical and young, hurr hurr.

  • I thought that doraemon dress was bed linen.

• Michelle Yeoh ????

• Michelle Yeoh!!!

  I saw a new preview yesterday of a upcoming Star Trek Series on CBS in the USA with Michelle as the captain of the ship!!!!!!!! So cool!!!

• TBH I was kind of disappointed in FBB outfit. Not because it looked bad but because liu shi shi wore sometime reallllly similar to it and FBB is known to be the queen of red carpet. I would have never expected FBB to wear sometime other people have worn before especially to such an important event

• FBB dress is meh but what is the Western obsession with showing skin. Imagine if a man turned up in a shoulderless tux to "show skin". SJElf it was disappointing but I am wondering if jury members tend not to wear the showy numbers.

  Waiting for Kim Min-hee, her movie also has Isabelle Huppert who is pretty much one of the best actresses in the world.

  • ????

    • SJElf, I meant FBB usually wears something dramatic but given she is on the jury this time she might not have. The jury usually tends to be a bit toned down.

      Agree teacakes re KMH!

  • I loved Kim Min Hee's dress at the Cannes premiere of The Handmaiden last year, she has unique taste and good red carpet instincts.

  • Yup I was a bit disappointed. But i think this time she's not as dramatic as usual because she's a jury this year. ): If she wore something dramatic, they would complain about her trying to steal the spotlight so what she's wearing is definitely more suitable for her role this year.

  • Sorry I got it now

• I'm more curious about what chompoo wore this year

• That is hardly "Asian". It's just SEA. I guess, everyone in "hallyu would" just likes to give regal status to their starts by saying "Asian" pfft.

  • *stars

    • I don't believe China is considered part of Southeast Asia. So Chinese or Japanese stars are Asians, from the continent Asia. Wasn't aware the term Asian does not include people from Southeast Asia or China, or was considered a "higher" status. I guess education is different depending on where you come from.

    • No, China is not part of Southeast Asia (SEA), instead they were East Asia.

      Still, China is part of Asia.

• Aishwarya Rai slayed them all.

  • Ha ha ha
    This blog has distorted meaning of Asian. Asia also comprises of Indian sub-continent and middle East.
    In old historic accounts India was considered last edge of Asia and later it expanded to SEA, EA and Ocenia.

  • Oh your comment made me search for Aish. She wore really gorgeous clothes this year. Among other Indian actresses I wonder why Deepika Padukone wear such fugly clothes. She used to be well dressed lady few years back but since when she went international her fashion sense is stooping to low levels l. Shame for such pretty lady.

    • Ikr! Deepika should change stylists because her fashion is getting fuglier, no personality at all tbh, and she is such a beautiful actress...

  • Wow Aish wore really gorgeous clothes this year. But I don't know what is happening to Deepika Padukone lately. She used to be well dressed woman but since when she became international her fashion choices are haunting me though she is still pretty.

    • Deepika is really pretty, but her fashion sense has always been pretty terrible. Only her Sabyasachi dresses have suited her and everything else seems to lack personality... as if her coordi is the one dictating her fashion and she kindly (and blindly) just accept their choice. Good thing is that she is beautiful, tall and proportionate that she still carries clothes well. But yeah, Aishwarya slayed everyone this year, not just the ’’Asian stars’’, especially that blue dress, matched perfectly with her eyes (Aish and Deepika are asian too btw, South-Asian).
      Also I didn’t include Mallika Sherawat, because she did nothing meaningful in film except that one hit song ’’Jalebi bai’’ years ago, and the only reason she’s there is because her rich French businessman boyfriend owns hotels in Côte d'Azure...

  • I also loved Aish's blue dress and my second favourite is green one. Deepika looks much much better in her regular clothes. I also hated her hair and make-up. She was styled by Elizabeth Saltzman and I was screaming Oh God! What did they do to those lovely eyes. She has gorgeous hair and typical Indian full features but she ended up looking gimmicky.
    I consider Mallika Shehrawat a national disgrace. She is not a celebrity back home. Don't know what's she doing there. By the way her best song was ' Mayya'.
    Oh my, the way Sonam Kapoor draped that sari must be ugliest one known to the human-being and I think sari is the sexiest outfit known to human-being.

    • Yess ’’Mayya'' is the best song she’s danced to tbh (well, A.R Rahman is the nation’s oscar winning composer so it’s expected), but that ’’Jalebi Bai’’ is her most played item song. Sonam is there because she’s L’Oreal's face, just like Deepika Padukone, as she replaced Katrina Kaif (oh the irony... but Katrina seemed to hate being in Cannes anyway..). Sonam Kapoor’s fashion is almost always on point, but whenever she goes to Cannes, she puts on the most hideous sari available. Unbelievable!

  • Yes Sonam is all about her fashion sense(and her daddy and his connections) because I think she is neither 'beauty' nor 'talent'. Sari itself is quiet intresting but the way she chose to wear it is pathetic.
    I really never understand high-end fashion and probably I never will. Let me keep lementing over undoing of Deepika and keep wondering how gorgeous she could look even in a plain Kasavu sari.
    Do you remember the recent disaster called met gala? There everybody was competing for the title of most repulsive look ever. But I enjoyed Indian netizen's comments over Priyanka Chopra's dress.

    • Sonam got really far with her actually talented dad’s connections and her saving grace was those proportions and impeccable fashion sense, but why is it alway in Cannes when she is basically representing India that she chooses to wear UGLY saris... why can’t she wear just a plain sari or Anarkali..? It’s quite funny that in filmfare awards and whatnot Indian awards showa, she seems to wear high-end western luxury brands and actually nice Sabyasachis/ManishMalhotras but in Cannes she flops... Met gala is on a whole different level and neither Priyanka nor Deepika caught major attention. Fan Bing Bing, Rihanna and Beyoncé usually slay the Met galas so I didn’t expect them to shine.. besides Deepika was representing Tommy Hilfiger (like Gigi Hadid did too), so she was wearing TH clothes anyway

  • I too think Sonam's sari at international events is worse than the saris worn by Hollywood celebrities in Indian events.I think it's partly due to the fact that Indian people still love their ethnic wear and their idea of fashion is quiet different from western one. So when they are in India they are at ease but when going international they try to do a lot of things at the same time and it generally misfires.
    I too didn't expect them to shine at met gala but I loved the funny memes created by netizens on Priyanka's dress.
