Stars from all over the world will attend the movie premieres, galas, and charity events at this year's Cannes Film Festival, and all of their best looks can be seen right here.

The opening ceremony and premiere of Tilda Swinton's Moonrise Kingdom drew stunning looks on the festival's first day. Swinton showed up in a coppery gown by Haider Ackermann, while Eva Longoria stunned in a Marchesa gown with a long train.

But the festival isn't over yet, and there are sure to be many more beautiful looks at Cannes. A peek at what we've seen thus far - with more chic ensembles to come - in the gallery.

This Week’s Best Dressed

May 19th, 2012

Cannes may have brought the week's lion's share of red-carpet glamour, but elsewhere there were still plenty of gorgeous looks to inspire.

Kate Moss showed off her unfailing chicness - and some supershiny blond locks - at the Marie Curie fund-raiser in London, where she celebrated in an elegant black column gown, with husband Jamie Hince. Across the pond at the American Ballet Theatre's Gala in New York, fellow supermodels Alek Wek and Jessica Stam looked equally striking in monochrome Valentino gowns. Costars Charlize Theron and Kristen Stewart also played a game of fashion doppelgänger: at the London premiere of Snow White and the Huntsman, the duo hit a pitch-perfect note in complementary sheer gowns by Christian Dior and Marchesa, respectively.

See it all - plus more of the week's best - right here.

Modeling takes serious skill, and one need look no further for proof of that than this video of Coco Rocha posing - sometimes in midair - for Target.

Part of Rocha's job as guest editor of the Target Style Tumblr included some strategic jumping in front of photographer Tony Kim's camera, which was captured in this mesmerizing video exploring what goes into a cover shot. Each time Rocha launches herself into the air, she creates a new expression with her body. Watch it right here.

Happy Birthday, Emmanuelle Alt

May 18th, 2012

It's been well over a year since Emmanuelle Alt took the helm of Vogue Paris, and while the aesthetic of that magazine may have changed, one thing's for certain: Alt's personal style has not. In fact, if there's one thing that can be said about Alt, it's that she definitely sticks to a look.

"Her style is her big shoulders, long legs, tight jeans, sleeves up to the elbow, one hip out. I personally like her. She’s a handsome French woman," Karl Lagerfeld has said of the minimalistic, admittedly low-maintenance editor in chief. "I don't look after myself. I don't do yoga, Pilates, those things. I hate physical effort, I don't run anywhere, but I am superenergetic. Makeup? I just black my eyes, and that's it. My hair? I get it cut on set. I never go to a hairdresser. I'm not sure I'm French," Alt has said.

Regardless, we think the überstylist's French appeal is quite apparent. So in honor of her May 18 birthday - and her refreshingly low-key chic - we've gathered up some of our favorite Alt-in-uniform style moments. Bon anniversaire!
