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.

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.

The incredibly talented Carey Mulligan makes her second appearance at this year’s Cannes festival, after her role in The Great Gatsby, for the premiere of the Coen brothers’ latest film drama Inside Llewyn Davis. This melancholic comedy tells the story of a folk singer living in 1960s Greenwich Village, Llewyn Davis, played by the classically trained guitar player Oscar Isaac who sings alongside Justin Timberlake and Carey Mulligan in the movie.
Our new favorite songbird looked superb, as she always does on the red carpet, in a two-toned black and white gown matched with a pair of black satin plateau pumps. Carey wore similar shoes for the daytime photo call, plateau pumps in black leather.

Red and white has always been such a regal pairing, so it’s only fitting that red carpet royalty like Doutzen Kroes and Jessica Biel went for the low-key shade that ended up making a big impact on the Croisette.
Doutzen was clad in a sexy, slinky number by Calvin Klein with a pair of simple strappy sandals while Jessica went for volume with a fairytale dress by Marchesa, pairing them with pointy-toed pumps.
We love the idea of a statement dress with simple shoes that complement rather than compete for attention.
