It’s definite! Although some people voiced an opinion that they liked Angelina Jolie’s flowing beige dress, most people did not love it. Like I said earlier, I think she still looks gorgeous because she’s so radiant but I’m not crazy about the second Cannes red carpet dress.
I absolutely prefer the green dress from the Kung Fu Panda red carpet and I think most other people did as well.
Either way, I love seeing Angelina Jolie dressed up and on the red carpet. Even with a less than perfect dress, you just can’t make her unattractive. It would be hard work to make her anything other than beautiful.
As an aside, here are two other photos from the Cannes Changeling red carpet. This one is just beautiful, taken at the end of the night as they were leaving and my goodness Brad Pitt looks yummy.
And Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are truly a power couple but looking at this photo of Angelina and Clint? What a power DUO. It would have been so great to watch the two of them interacting on set, and what an honor to have him directing.
And thus wraps another year at Cannes! Next up? Seeing where the Jolie-Pitt family will head next, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt‘s birthday next week, and waiting for the twins!

Wow–It just hit me how very much Angelina looks like the soap star Hunter Tylo. They could be twins! Wow–they look exactly alike!!!
Thanks, Ligaya, that’s what I must have been mis-remembering! ;-)
For all Clint & Changeling fans:

According to poster Westrborne (5/17/08): This is a translation of a lengthy new interview in Le Monde with Eastwood ahead of Changeling’s premiere in Cannes. This is one of the best Clint interviews I’ve read.
Also (5/20/08 ) excerpts from the following reviews: Variety, Emmanuel Levy, Screen Daily.
the green is the perfect color for Angie, it looks so good! really beautiful!
but the beige outfit was so breathtaking! my winner.

under mod ;-) : my 2 cents on green vs. beige
I think it does make a difference seeing something in person with the details & seeing it in a photo/video.
I wasn’t crazy about the strapless vintage Hermes Angie wore to the S.A.G. gala last year judging from the pics I saw – then I saw other pics that convinced me it was beautiful.
I can see how some people might think the caftan/muumuu wasn’t Angelina. I agree with those who said she dressed appropriately for the movie’s subject matter, and so that the spotlight would be on director Clint Eastwood.
I think one of the most sensous sights is a woman in a caftan walking – her body is concealed & mysteriously suggestive, her legs play hide & seek against the fabric, and so do her breasts. It teases the imagination.
Angie’s color was subdued – she looked wonderful with the jewel neckline, dark hair, and earrings that stood out & sparkled. She looked regal – like Alexander’s mother & Queen Noor (Raina?) – and evoked the essence of the oriental Middle East.
I’m probably the last to chime in, but I got caught up in all the Cannes stuff.
My 2 favorite RC gowns of all time are the yellow chartreuse from last year & this year’s moss/avocado/dark celery number. They’re beyond spectacular. If Angie wasn’t a little underweight from her mom’s passing last year, she’d have looked even better than she already did.
I don’t remember reading that Angelina said Mariane was her inspiration for her role in Changeling. Angie did say that her mom Marcheline, sweet & not outspoken but a lion when it came to her kids, inspired Ange how to play her role as a 1928 woman.
Angie compared her role as Mariane & her role in Changeling as being alike in that 2 women had to deal with being suddenly bereft of the most important person in their lives.
… and thanks for the info on Changeling – exciting sounding film and exciting about possible Oscar. Did she say her friend Marianne helped inspire her for the gentleness for the role, or did I imagine it?
Now ladies… I feel you’re holding back on expressing your opinions on this !?
Agree re the print dress, BlessBrangelina…
I love our little site! :)
Bienvenue, les nouvelles Francaises…
It seems both dresses (taupe and green)were custom made, how cool was that??
LOL! I agree with everyone.
The dresses were appropriate for their function.
The taupe Reem Acra took getting used to, but she carried it off with class. She looked REGAL in it!
But out of all of her dresses in Cannes so far, my favorite will have to be the Nicole Miller one (print dinner dress)…She wore the hell out of that dress. Stunning.
She’s such a lady… She, obviously, dressed down to let others have the “Lime Light”… I’ve been there and done that many times. Now that I’m older, I have come to realize how fortunate I have been… to understand… God Bless Them…
Ligaya I was just going to write that alot of the entertainment shows love that dress also. I guess it must look better in person.
Angelina looked beautiful at Cannes. May favorites were the green dress and the black pants suit.
Under mod: NY Daily News hearts Angelina’s taupe caftan/goddess gown.

Angelina Jolie made a fashion statement of mythic proportions Tuesday when she swept down the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival in a billowing caftan-style goddess gown.
The heavily pregnant Jolie played against type: She didn’t show cleavage and didn’t show leg – yet she still managed to steal the limelight on what is one of the most competitive red carpets in the world.
Instead of showing off her curves, the 32-year-old showed how (in the words of designer Reem Acra, who custom-created last night’s dress) “covering up can be more chic.”
“These are actresses who’ve already arrived,” says celebrity stylist Mary Alice Stephenson, noting the cool grownup brand of glamour also exhibited by Natalie Portman (in a ruffled purple frock) and Paltrow (who wore a simple, toga-style Lanvin dress) in Cannes this week. “These women have attention 24/7. They don’t need anymore.”
Jolie, Stephenson says, looked “fashion appropriate, elegant and above all comfortable” yesterday in her Hellenic-style caftan. “There’s an ease to the ‘goddess’ look that is very feminine and also very much a sexy party style,” says Stephenson, who as usual had a practical observation: “It’s really hot and sticky in Cannes, so it makes sense that stars are wearing loose-fitting dresses. They want to stay cool.” Especially, in Angelina’s case, when they’re dressing for three.
I like both green & beige, the make up though is different, I prefer her make up on the Changeling Premiere. She looks stunning in anything. She carry herself elegantly. Brad is handsome too with his tux. God bless them.
You know, I think the dresses kind of represent the difference in the 2 movies. KFP was a light, happy movie – thus the green dress; and Changling is a sadder, more serious dress – thus the beige dress. However, I do like the green dress the best. She is stunning in that color!!!
I find she looks great in anything. Only a woman like Angie could pull off looking “hot” while pregnant.
