How many ways can we say we're obsessed with Mitchell Akat's Cannes look? Because saying it once or twice is not enough.
Her skintight ensemble featured long sleeves, a sculpted waist, matching built-in boots, and a full leopard head positioned dramatically across her chest and shoulder like just another accessory. Her body looked TF good in the bold print, and her melanin was on glow.
The supermodel kept everything else simple to let the leopard speak (or roar) for itself. She rocked a sleek bald cut with gold accessories we loved, like her lip-shaped earrings. And her makeup was sun-kissed and natural.

Cannes Film Festival Style: Angela Bassett Slays In Pleated Fringe
While Mitchell Akat brought the heat, Angela Bassett brought the grace and timeless glamour. The legend arrived in a flowing midnight blue-black gown with a ruched bodice, pleated, fringe-like chiffon details, and dramatic bell sleeves. Every detail of her gown oozed over-the-top style while being just enough.
Angela styled her hair with a sleek low ponytail that showed off her signature cheekbones and diamond necklace. For beauty, she chose a soft smoky eye and a glossy nude lip. Her polished hair and makeup were everything, elevating her French fashion moment even more.

Dianna Agron's New French Accent Reactions
You know Dianna Agron from a few things — especially Glee. Got it? OK, now watch this video of Dianna for Vanity Fair as she got ready for a Miu Miu-sponsored lunch at the Cannes Film Festival. Again, focus on the voice. Notice Throughout the clip, Dianna's accent It sounds a little French, even — which makes sense, on a level, because she is at Cannes, and is (very performatively) speaking French at several points. But even when she speaks English in the video, she sounds...a little European. The whole thing is, to say the least, highly confusing. And the commenters agree: Several people compared the situation to Hilaria Baldwin's very similar faux-accent trickiness: But, hey — as one person pointed out, it could be a lot worse! Will Dianna comment on the hubbub? Will she use her actual voice if she does? Time will tell!

Amal Clooney Wore a Stunning Strapless Summer Dress For Dinner Date With George Clooney
On Friday, Amal and George Clooney enjoyed dinner with close friend Bono of U2 at Polo Bar in Manhattan. Amal wore a stunning strapless summer dress in white by Stella McCartney, which was wrapped in mesh fabric printed with a graphic cherry design. She accessorized with a black clutch, dangling gold earrings, and metallic heels with pointed toes. The human rights lawyer was wearing a natural makeup palette with a hint of a smokey eye. Holding her hand, George wore a navy suit over a black polo and a matching baseball cap, plus a pair of shiny black dress shoes. The couple has been friends with Bono and his wife, Alison Hewson, for many years, though the rock star appeared to be solo at dinner. Amal and George were recently separated as they traveled around the world. Amal attended the Cannes Film Festival for a screening of Bono's documentary, Stories of Surrender. There, she wore an off-the-shoulder black gown with a short train. It was an archival Christian Dior gown from John Galliano's time at the fashion house. On May 29, they were reunited at an event celebrating his hit Broadway play Good Night, and Good Luck. They were also photographed posing backstage with Nancy Pelosi, Tanya Taylor, Hillary Clinton, Chelsea Clinton, and Huma Abedin. In 2022, after being named Women of the Year by Time magazine, Amal talked about her marriage and being mom to her twins, Ella and Alexander. 'Marriage has been wonderful,' she shared. 'I have in my husband a partner who is incredibly inspirational and supportive, and we have a home filled with love and laughter.' Of parenthood, she said, 'It is a joy beyond anything I could ever have imagined. I feel so lucky to have found a great love in my life, and to be a mother—this is how I get my balance.'

Amal Clooney and George Clooney Enjoy a Lively Date Night—and Bring Bono Along Too
Since Amal Clooney and George Clooney have reunited once again in their home of New York, the usually discreet and laidback—though never not glamorous—couple have been enjoying each other's company and all that the glittering city has to offer. While Amal had jetted off to Cannes Film Festival and to Osaka, Japan for another glitzy engagement, George has been seeing out the final performances of his hit Broadway play Good Night, and Good Luck. The couple stepped out on Friday evening for dinner at Polo Bar in Midtown, bringing along their close friend Bono to third wheel and enjoy some steaks, clams oreganata, and good French wine. The trio looked to be in good spirits as they laughed and skipped through the streets. It was one of the Clooneys more laidback of outfit choices: Amal wore a mesh cherry print strapless dress by Stella McCartney that touched her ankles and accessorizing with a black and pearlescent clutch bag and bronze pumps, as well as some dangly gold earrings. She also showed off some fairly new caramel highlights in her signature long brunette hair, worn flipped over in a deep side part. Her husband George, meanwhile, opted for a more casual navy suit with a black polo shirt underneath, black patent shoes, and a gray baseball cap. Bono stuck to his own decades-held style formula: An all-black suit and red-tinted circular sunglasses.
