Sandals or Pumps?

Last night, the stars came out for a different type of red carpet - that of the amfAR Gala

amfAR Cinema Against Aids 2013 Gala, 66th Cannes Film Festival, France - 23 May 2013

Last night, the stars came out for a different type of red carpet – that of the amfAR Gala, Cinema Against Aids.

This event, apart from being for an extremely charitable cause, was decidedly more low-key than its presumptuous predecessors, and it showed in the guests’ attire – lower on the drama, higher on the hemlines.

Two styles we continuously noticed were sandals and pumps, which was really no surprise given they are practically the bread and butter of red carpet fare. Selita Ebanks channeled a bit of ballerina with a poofy dress and elegant, minimal sandals and Heidi Klum, equally ethereal, wore a pair of glittery René Caovilla numbers. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley matched shoes to dress with a pair of simple pointy-toed pumps while Audrey Tatou went for a platformed variety.

Fuchsia Fever

Playfully pink on the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival

From Elsa Schiaparelli, the first to use the nomenclature “shocking” to describe the shade of pink that did just that, to Marilyn Monroe, who transformed it into a color that represented glamour and fabulousness – pink is now hotter than ever.

A Touch of Yellow

A little color on the red carpet never hurts

Whether it’s full-on color wash or just a small detail, yellow is bound to leave a lasting impression.

Model Selita Ebanks was one of the most-noticed on the red carpet at Cannes while Marion Cotillard donned a white knee-length dress with a splash of the happy hue.
