The Film Experience

Jose here. As the Cannes Film Festival came to its end two very sad things became obvious: first, who knows how long we'll have to wait to watch all the winners on screen and the second - perhaps most heartbreaking of all - is that there will be no more daily Nicole Kidman-sighting anticipation. Queen Nicole couldn't let us down of course and she showed up one last time looking absolutely regal.

Who She Wore: custom made Giorgio Armani.
Which Director She's Trying to Lure: ALL of them, This lavish silk dress is essentially a less controversial redux of her infamous bow-dress from the 2007 Oscars only this time she's using subtlety to remind them all that she is indeed a gift to the movie world.
What would Diane Arbus think of this: "I saw you through my window and right away I wanted to take a portrait of you."

two more & the wrap-up

A few nights before, Nicole showed up to the premiere of Roman Polanski's Venus in Fur.

Who She Wore: Chanel.

Which Director She's Trying to Lure:

Considering this happened right after her appearance in that stunning Valentino, this might be the first time she had no one specific in mind. However the flapper-meets-postmodern nature of the dress reminded me of The Purple Rose of Cairo and Woody is one of the few greats Nicole hasn't worked with yet...but still, this was her most disappointing appearance as a jury member, and considering she only gave us five, she could've done better for this one, no?

What would Lady Sarah Ashley think of this: "Mr. Drover, do not take that tone with me..."thank you, very much!"

Before that, Nicole made an appearance at the amfAR benefit where she was a presenter

Who She Wore: Marchesa.

Which Director She's Trying to Lure:

The dress' cut and flamenco inspired pattern can mean only one thing: Pedro.

Her short hair however, suggests she's still not over Grace Kelly, is she trying to attract

What would Grace Mulligan think of this: " Some things you have to do yourself."
