Red carpet disappointments at Cannes

With the good, you have to take the bad. We just finished our top 5 best dressed list for the first half of Cannes, and now it's time for the worst of the bunch.

Amazingly enough, Angelina Jolie managed to simultaneously make both lists. Kudos to her! Well, actually, I take that back. She deserves no praise for that disaster she wore to the Changeling premiere yesterday. A tent erected by blind Boy Scouts would have been more flattering!

Top 5 underwhelming red carpet looks at Cannes

(click thumbnails to view gallery)

  • Angelina Jolie
  • Emma de Caunes
  • Natalie Portman
  • Lady Victoria Hervey
  • Corinne Touzet


French actress, Corinne Touzet took tacky to new extremes with layer upon layer of leopard print, while Emma De Caunes decided neck braces are totally in this season.

And let's not forget about Lady Victoria Hervey -- she wore a dress with a leg slit up to her boobs! At Cannes! That's just so wrong. Maybe for a party in Vegas or the premiere of the 17th Scary Movie sequel that kind of outfit might have been appropriate. But, in Cannes, we're pretty sure that purposely flashing your hoo-ha is not okay.

Last, but not least, we had to throw Natalie Portman on the list. We didn't want to do this -- everybody loves her, us included. But, her eggplant colored gown was so shapeless it just overwhelmed her teeny tiny frame. We know the woman can afford a tailor, so she has no one to blame but herself for this mess!

I want to go on here. First, Angelina Jolie is pregnant. Even with the cuts that have come out in the last 30 years, she is still basically wearing a muu-muu for the next 9 months. Let's be fair.
I liked Emma de Caunes' neck brace. It almost reminds me of an Elizabethan collar.
As for Natalie Portman, her thin body limits her. Too much flounce can't work for her.
Too much skin is never good. I don't have to say any more about that.
Finally, Corrine Touzet's wasn't horrible. Just a bit outre.
