Monday night was the opening of the 2023 Cannes Film Festival and I’m only posting pictures of the C-actresses in attendance. Disgraced from a tax evasion scandal but still hanging in there former top actress Fan Bing Bing, who used to always dazzle at Cannes, walked the carpet in a strapless gown with a half train made from a fabric painted of a tiger in a Chinese painting backdrop of mountains and trees. It’s creative but nowhere near her heyday years. Gong Li went for an all black mock neck ball gown, elegant but too dark and heavy. Jiang Meng Jie looked like a wannabee female flasher in her floor length double breasted coat over a bikini top column black down. I liked Guan Xiaotong‘s entire look the best thanks to the unique layered gown bottom but the top half was too short so it made her look uneven. Zhang Yu Qi splashed orange to break up the multi textured black down underneath but it didn’t look cohesive. All in all a disappointing turnout from the C-actress contingent.
