Madonna’s $471,000 Chanel Bag: Worth More Than a Kiss From Clooney!
The annual amfAR Cinema Against AIDS benefit took place in Cannes last week. Last year, George Clooney auctioned off a kiss for $300,000, but this year Madonna’s alligator Chanel purse was the star of the show.
amfAR's Cinema Against AIDS: Rose McGowan
The amFAR event at the Cannes Film Festival has brought out all kinds of wonderful looks thus far. Next up for your viewing pleasure is Rose McGowan in an artful piece by Dolce & Gabbana. The abstract splashes of paint and orchids on the dress is definitely unique and bold. You gotta admit, it doesn't take much for this natural beauty to look stunning. Do you love or hate this look?

Who Wore It Better? Beaded, Tiered Valentino Dress
With such a gorgeously feminine dress, it's no surprise that two svelte beauties fell in love with it. Keira Knightley first wore Valentino's beaded, tiered dress to the BAFTA awards back in February. She decided against any jewels or accessories, making the dress the center of attention. Russian model Natalia Vodianova stepped out in the same dress at the amFAR event at Cannes Film Festival. She accessorized with a matching champagne clutch and dangly earrings. Also, it appears that Keira's dress is slightly longer. Who do you think wore it better?

amfAR's Cinema Against AIDS: Natalia Vodianova
We may not see Natalia Vodianova on the runways as frequently, but I'm happy as hell that we get to see her on the red carpet. The Russian beauty stepped out in a beaded, tiered Valentino dress. Such a monochrome look can produce drab results, but she makes it work. Duh, she's a model. Do you love it or hate it?

amfAR's Cinema Against AIDS: Carine Roitfeld and Julia Restoin-Roitfeld
I went crazy for Balmain's Fall collection and I'm so thrilled to see Carine Roitfeld and daughter Julia showing major love to the house. And the house showing major love to them! On her own, Carine is amazing, but with her daughter by her side, they're an unstoppable fashion pair. Are you as in love as I am?
amfAR's Cinema Against AIDS: Natalie Portman
Natalie Portman totally wowed me in this origami-pleat asymmetrical white Givenchy frock at the amFAR event at the Cannes Film Festival. The layers upon layers of white waves are gorgeous, and I love how she paired the dress with simple accessories and black sandals — just let the dress do all the talking. Two thumbs up for me, how about you?

Who Wore It Better? Bohemian Balmain Dress
It's almost as though Balmain's bohemian dress was made for Kate Hudson at the SAG awards, so it's hard to imagine anyone else wearing it. But alas, Jimmy Choo founder Tamara Mellon showed up to the amfAR event at Cannes Film Festival in the same dress. Right off the bat, it's obvious Tamara got spray tanned, so the color palette is very different. She also has more chunky jewelry than Kate. To me, Kate is more believable in boho, but who do you say wore it better?

amfAR's Cinema Against AIDS: Diane Kruger
I oft talk about my love of the '20s flapper era and Diane is the epitome of that time at the amFAR event at the Cannes Film Festival. From her sleek hair down to her shoes, she's perfection in my eyes. The whisper sequins and train are such lovely details. Do you love or hate?
