The Roitfelds In Cannes: She's A Rainbow

The Rolling Stones seem to set the tone for the festivities in southern France of late, so let's wrap up the 63rd Cannes Film Festival with a colorful collage of photos of the Roitfeld family and friends to the tune of "She's A Rainbow":

Have you seen her all in gold
Like a queen in days of old 

She shoots colors all around 

Like a sunset going down 

Have you seen the lady fairer

She comes in colors everywhere; 

She combs her hair 

She's like a rainbow 

Coming colors in the air 

Oh, everywhere 

She comes in colors

The Roitfelds At Style Star Night Party

Style Star Night brings together the crème de la crème of fashion and cinema for one exclusive gala event each year at Cannes. This year the dinner was hosted by Stefano Tonchi, editor of W Magazine, and Marina Garzoni, executive director of Style Star, at the lounge on Carlton Beach. Carine Roitfeld is hot in Roberto Cavalli and Giovanna Battaglia looks regal dressed in Derek Lam. The guests of honor for the fashionable fête were Juliette Binoche and Elio Germano, voted Best Actress and Best Actor for this year's festival; other notable guests included Tolula Adeyemi, Gerard Butler, Eva Cavalli, Kenneth Cole, Peter Dundas, Lady Victoria Hervey, Eva Riccobono, Riccardo Tisci, Ellen von Unwerth, and Jesse Williams.

Battaglia, Dolce, Gabbana In Cannes

Thanks to the Twitter accounts of Giampaolo Sgura and Stefano Gabbana we have a fun glimpse into the spirit of Cannes—this visual story of the witty improvisation of D&G and their favorite muse, Giovanna Battaglia. First we see Gio above, dressed to go out but lacking that special something. Her headdress is not quite right...

Dolce & Gabbana come to her rescue by fashioning this impromptu leopard turban, the perfect finishing touch. Without the previous sparkling head piece Gio is now inspired to choose a bold necklace and pull down a couple of tendrils, c'est parfait !

I cannot imagine a chicer trio! Giovanna Battaglia, Stefano Gabbana, and Domenico Dolce look as if they are about to walk on to the set of Breakfast at Tiffany's just in time for the cocktail party in Audrey's flat, quelle élégance.

They are actually en route to Naomi Campbell's 40th birthday party. Clearly I am not the only one attracted to the trio, the paparazzi is mad for them. Also, notice that in the shots above Gio is posed in front of the leopard den where Carine and Anna were reclining in the recent post Roitfeld And Dello Russo: Whole Lotta Leopard. Too cool...

The Roitfelds At Cinema Against AIDS Gala

The amfAR Cinema Against AIDS Gala at the Hôtel du Cap-Eden Roc is one of the most prestigious parties at Cannes each year. Carine Roitfeld often chairs this special charity event that benefits the research of AIDS; the honors for this year's gala go to Alan Cumming. Among the numerous luminaries on hand to support amfAR were Carine Roitfeld, Julia Restoin-Roitfeld (wearing Mark Fast), Vladimir Restoin-Roitfeld, Giovanna Battaglia (wearing Armani Privé), Giorgio Armani, Mischa Barton, Kate Beckinsale, Malgosia Bela, Rachel Bilson, Fan Bingbing, Naomi Campbell, Roberto Cavalli, Georgina Chapman, Kenneth Cole (chair of amfAR), Marion Cotillard, Russell Crowe, Benicio Del Toro, Peter Dundas, Kirsten Dunst, Tom Ford, Fawaz Gruosi, Dree Hemingway, Constance Jablonski, Mick Jagger, Grace Jones, Karolina Kurkova, Diane Kruger, Karl Lagerfeld, Margherita Missoni, Eugenie Niarchos, L'Wren Scott, Kristin Scott Thomas, and Michelle Williams. Apparently it was another fabulous party provoking Giovanna Battaglia to remark, "AmfAR was so much fun!! The best I ever been... Mary J. Blige and Patti Smith were fantastic."
