Fab Style Challenge: Packing For Cannes Film Festival

Oh, you glamazon you.

Oh, you glamazon you. Imagine flying down to the French Riviera to attend the Cannes Film Festival. The place where Brigitte Bardot frolicked on the beach and Grace Kelly stayed cool and ever elegant aboard a sailboat. The event where the yacht parties almost outshine the red carpet. It's one of the most fashionable events of the year, and one of the most fun. That said, what would you pack for a weekend at Cannes Film Festival?

Celeb Style: Emmy Rossum

Emmy Rossum's styled play on color and texture caught our eye while she was out in Hollywood last night.

Emmy Rossum's styled play on color and texture caught our eye while she was out in Hollywood last night. We love how she keeps a funky green mini ($1,775) in check with a denim topper, then adds another dose of snake-print on a neutral clutch ($31). The result is equally fun, fresh and still pretty low-maintenance. Just click the items above to shop a similarly eclectic-cool style.

Karen Elson, supermodel, singer, songwriter, wife to White Stripes singer Jack White, and mother of two, can now add designer to her impressive resume. She is collaborating with Nine West on a Fall 2011 collection of accessories for its Vintage America line, according to WWD. While we've only seen sketches of her designs, it's said to be based on her vintage-inspired style, and we immediately thought of two editorials where Elson's style was most prominent: a Nylon shoot last June that was shot by her twin sister Kate and a Vogue shoot, shot by Annie Leibowitz, featuring her and Jack White together. Both show her love of vintage femininity and, while the model is British not American, we can see the connection to vintage Americana. Click our slideshow to see the design sketches, and get a glimpse of the British model's personal style.

Chloé's New Designer: Clare Waight Keller 2011-05-09 07:25:59

Another big designer move was announced this morning: Clare Waight Keller is taking the Chloé reigns from Hannah MacGibbon, who is leaving Chloé after 10 years to pursue "new projects," according to WWD. What does this mean for the French luxury house and fans of Chloé's feminine sophistication? You can count on a continued emphasis on knitwear injected with a dose of sexiness. Waight Keller, who like MacGibbon, is British born, just finished a six-year stint as creative director of Pringle of Scotland, where she resurrected the heritage line into something modern and cool and reworked the line's knitwear. Before that, she worked under Tom Ford at Gucci, which means she knows a thing or two about sex appeal. Waight Keller will officially take over June 1, so we can look forward to seeing her first collection for Chloé at Spring 2012 Fashion Week. To get you acquainted with Clare Waight Keller's work, click our slideshow of highlights from her last collection for Pringle of Scotland.

We're always in the market for a shoe as comfortable as it is stylish, so we love OnSugar blog fashion fortuneteller's easy-sweet, flat espadrille picks for Summer.

How many of you wore skippys all summer while growing up?  I clearly remember getting crisp white skippys at the beginning of the summer and rocking them out like every day - running around the neighborhood playing tag, jump robe, and having water gun fights.  I guess that's the beauty of Brooklyn.

Skippys were the ultimate affordable footwear at the time, and behold - Today's Obsession is the new school summer skippy: the flat espadrille.  I am in love.  Can't wait for another fun filled summer!

Look of the Day: Blooming by Night

Nothing looks chicer — and more unexpected — than injecting some florals into your nighttime attire.

Nothing looks chicer — and more unexpected — than injecting some florals into your nighttime attire. Fab reader Neekoh did just that, with this fun flowered look. She wore a few colorful layers, belted them at the waist with a fuchsia belt, and added a sunny yellow clutch and black heels. It's a great Summer look that works just as well for cocktail time as it does for daytime.

Congrats Neekoh!

Everyone else, submit your looks, and I might just feature you on FabSugar!
