Wahoo — the 2009 Cannes Film Festival has begun! It was just reported the lavish festival will be toned down this year — Vanity Fair dismissed its black-tie annual and Louis Vuitton didn't book its usual table at the amfAR dinner — but we can still expect fashion on the red carpet from the likes of Diane Kruger, Penelope Cruz, and the enigmatic Tilda Swinton.
Tilda is up first for your judging pleasure. Her monochrome bordeaux layered Haider Ackermann ensemble may also be toned down, but it sure is flattering. Doesn't she look so tall and statuesque? And the mix of materials is lovely.
This is just the amuse-bouche. Look forward to fetes hosted by Dolce & Gabbana and Dsquared2, guaranteed to provide controversial fashion fare.

Never have been a fan of her red carpet choices.
1Love. It's very "her". She looks long and elegant.
2She looks better than usual. I like the blond hair.
3this is the best i have seen her. She is so tall
4I agree her red carpet outfits usually aren't that great - but she is really lovely and I like this one on her.
5The cut is flattering but the material and monochromatic outfit have an aging effect.
6It's the formal version of a twinset. Ew. I generally like her red carpet choices, but this ensemble is geriatric.
7This ensemble is unusual but it works on her. I do, however, wish she would break down and wear some make-up finally! Pale girls can have definition too!
8She looks lovely.
9Not a fan...
10Totally Twilda... I love it on her.

12I will never understand or personally like her style, but this color looks amazing on her. Just out of curiosity, is her naturally red, or was that dyed? Either way, I loved that color on her, and couldn't help but think how great it would look with this.
13i know i'm in the minority here ...... but i think tilda is fierce! dare to be different. work it, girl.
14I love how she always changes her hair colour. She's just never boring. I love that she's wearing Haider Ackermann, too!
15SO happy Cannes has started!
That is an icon.
16i love that she just does what she wants and what she likes. its really is admirable. she looks so elegant here and the red is fab w/ her pale skin. i just wish her face wasn't so monotone. a little blush and mascara would do wonders.
17SWINTON.
No explanation needed.
18She looks amazing
19no!i hate it!
20Wow. This is actually one of her good red carpet choices.
