Every May Hollywood's A-List heads to the south of France for a couple weeks of movies and lavish parties. We'd much rather be there in person, but instead will admire the fashion finery from afar.

Cannes Day 8: Nicole Kidman

This Grecian Lanvin gown is exquisite on Nicole. Well played.

Cannes Day 8: Heidi Klum

Yesterday she showed off her darker side. Today Heidi opts for a glimmering fringed Marchesa dress.

Cannes Day 8: Kirsten Dunst

Long a Marc Jacobs fan, Kirsten picked Louis Vuitton for the big amfAR Cinema Against AIDS Gala.

Pretty in pink (Atelier Versace), Rose!

Young Hollywood: Please take note of every style choice Diane makes. She never misses. Especially in Chanel.

Cannes Day 8: Julianna Margulies

Julianna Margulies is sultry and sexy in L'Wren Scott.

Cannes Day 8: Milla Jovovich

Always looking back to her modeling roots, Milla knows how to pose in her futuristic Versace.

Getty Images

Cannes Day 8: Doutzen Kroes

We love all the model sightings in the south of France. Doutzen looks killer in her white Versace.

Cannes Day 8: Magdalena Frackowiak

One of our most favorite models shows off her enviable stems in a frilly Roberto Cavalli mini.

Cannes Day 8: Kim Kardashian

Do you think KK was inspired by Michelle Williams' Oscar look from the Brokeback Mountain season? We're thinking yes.

Getty Images

Cannes Day 8: Janet Jackson

Ms. Jackson shows off her new bod in white Emilio Pucci. All that dieting is definitely paying off.

Getty Images

Cannes Day 7: Milla Jovovich

Milla, that is a LOT of fabric. Yet somehow you're still pulling it off.

Getty Images

Cannes Day 7: Kristen Stewart

K-Stew is fulfilling her duties as a Balenciaga spokesperson beautifully in the south of France. We just wonder how long it took before she changed into her signature sneakers.

Getty Images

Cannes Day 7: Kristen Stewart & Kirsten Dunst

The On the Road co-stars show off their personal style at a photo call for the film. Kristen does her fashion-y tomboy thing in Balenciaga pants, a white tank and Rebecca Minkoff blazer while Kirsten does girly meets music festival, pairing a Dolce & Gabbana white frock with a Charlotte Olympia headband.

Cannes Day 7: Nicole Kidman

We love that Nic is basically back to being a redhead full-time again. And proving that wearing red is not off-limits in a sleek Antonio Berardi sheath dress.

Getty Images

Cannes Day 7: Kim Kardashian

We know Kim is there supporting new beau Kanye West's short film, but she still feels a wee bit out of place. Her body looks great in the dress, but we might have picked something other than a black boot.

Getty Images

Cannes Day 7: Heidi Klum

We love this dark navy Roberto Cavalli on the newly single Project Runway host. And we're sure many party attendees felt the same.

Getty Images

Cannes Day 7: Carine Roitfeld

Carine is the definition of French chic. That is all.

Getty Images

Cannes Day 7: Paris and Nicky Hilton

The sisters Hilton doing their own version of "Leather & Lace."

Getty Images

Cannes Day 6: Karolina Kurkova

The supermodel is statuesque is dark Roberto Cavalli. We're also completely obsessed with that deep wine lip.

Getty Images

Cannes Day 6: Erin Wasson

We loved this Oscar de la Renta gown when we saw it on the runway and Erin does it proud. Excellent necklace choice too.

Getty Images

Cannes Day 6: Anja Rubik

Anja's take on sheer is actually doable for us non-model types too. Kudos.

Getty Images

Cannes Day 6: Brad Pitt

Brad's giving us a little taste of Tristan Goes to Cannes…in Gucci. If you don't know who Tristan is, please Netflix Legends of the Fall immediately.

Getty Images

Cannes Day 6: Michelle Rodriguez

Coral is all over the stores this spring. And Michelle Rodriguez wears it well.

Getty Images

Cannes Day 6: Cassie

Cassie does Cavalli. And the wave in her hair seems to flow right into the sexy dress.

Getty Images

Cannes Day 6: Sean Combs

We're not clear as to what Diddy is doing in the Riviera. But we do appreciate his dapper look, especially the less expected white jacket.

Getty Images

Cannes Day 6: Diane Kruger & Joshua Jackson

Our favorite couple continues to stun. We covet DK's Nina Ricci gown. Not to mention her boyfriend.

Getty Images

Cannes Day 5: Diane Kruger & Joshua Jackson

Officially the cutest couple in the south of France, Diane and her doting beau looked spectacular at the 65th Anniversary Party. Her metallic Vivienne Westwood is divine. Also when it started to rain on the red carpet, Pacey held an umbrella for her…again.

Cannes Day 4: Berenice Bejo

The Oscar-nominee brightened up the red carpet in a custom Prada gown.
