I do have a soft spot for the Cannes Film Festival, and although I prefer the event in the classic days of film, I am on occasion impressed by the choice of gowns celebrities wear for the occasion.  From those celebs who have been photographed, I can only say, these ladies topped the best dressed list in beautiful modern classics (if you will) from top designers too many to detail here:

This year’s winners in my opinion are:

blake lively in Gucci

zoe saldana

adele exarchopoulos in valentino

blake lively chanel haute couture

kate blanchett in valentino

blake lively in Gucci – this one in new york
