The Cannes Watch - Glamour and glitz
Posted by v on May 16, 2008
Stars attending the opening ceremony of the Cannes International Film Festival Wednesday night sure didn’t let the downbeat story line of headlining film “Blindness” stop them from dressing up. Feeling romantic, new mother Cate Blanchett opted for a salmon pink ruffled organza Armani Privé gown.

Alberto Ferretti, the designer and Chopard’s Caroline Gruosi-Scheufele — who codesigned the gem-laden dress that Bar Refaeli wore to the festival opening — are already plotting future collaborations. Aboard Ferretti’s yacht for a private preview of the $700,000 gown, made from lilac silk chiffon and adorned with 2,904 carats worth of gems, the pair revealed plans to next design a timepiece together. “Like the dress, it would be about combining two different approaches, one a little more technical, one a little more fashion,” said Ferretti.

The Ferretti/Chopard gown, meanwhile, is next headed to be auctioned at the amfAR gala, where it will be modeled by Eva Herzigova.
