Sure, the Cannes Film Festival is "marginally" a film-oriented event. But come on, admit it, you care as much about what the stars are wearing as you do about the flicks they're promoting.

Join us now for a pictorial review of the red-carpet couture at this year's festival. And make sure to weigh in with your comments and let us know: Which stars looked swell, and which looked like hell?

Quotables /
“Mischa Barton (in Matthew Williamson) attends the How To Lose Friends And Alienate People party hosted by GQ Magazine, during the 2008 Cannes Film Festival at the Festival House, Villa Khayat in France on Thursday.

Earlier today (Friday), the 22-year-old former O.C. star was seen licking her ice cream cone while walking along the Promenade de la Croisette.

Other pictures include Mischa at the premiere of Blindess on Wednesday at the Cannes Film Festival.”

“LUCY: I kind of wish I wasn't standing here.

ANGELINA: Hmm?

LUCY: I mean, you have no right to look that hot. You're having twins!

ANGELINA: Mmm-hmm.

LUCY: And you're wearing a color! You almost never wear color. And it's a GREAT color.

ANGELINA: Mmm.

LUCY: I thought I looked pretty cute, but seriously, no woman in her right mind should ever put herself next to you.

ANGELINA: Mmm.

LUCY: I kind of want to make out with you.

ANGELINA: Mmm!

LUCY: Damn right.”

“Natalie Portman has been doing heavy flirting with ruffles this year at Cannes. And I'm doing a lot of waffling on whether I think they're pretty and flirty, or kind of crazy. Don't get me wrong, I love waffles. Just not mind waffles. So you, dear readers, need to put on your special baby-soft clicking glove of judgment and prepare to be the jury...”

“GUY: Um, Madge...

MADONNA: Yeeeeees? Will this be quick? I'm busy. I have to look happy, and married. I would advise you to do the same.

GUY: Aren't you forgetting something?

MADONNA: It's a bit too late to tell me you don't like my dress.

GUY: That wasn't what I was going to say. But also, I don't. Up close it's see-through, and you look like a chocolate-dipped disco ball.

MADONNA: But, like, a happy disco ball? A happy disco ball who is married, and happy about it, and happily married?

GUY: It also looks like someone was changing the color and got bored halfway through and just quit on you.

MADONNA: ... because I'm so happily married and you were jealous of his work?

GUY: And the necklace is too much, and the shoulder cutouts are ridiculous. It's like what you'd wear in an overly formal aerobics video.

MADONNA: Aerobics for people who love being married!

GUY: Listen, if you want people to think we're so happy, you could've at least remembered to wear your wedding ring.”

“Damn, Julia Ormond is back to looking like a total bombshell.

Of course, the last time we shone our fug light on Julia she was sporting a crocheted bathing cap, so -- short of hemming this at the ankle and putting on jeans underneath -- things had nowhere to go BUT up. Hopefully she's given up the dream of land-based synchronized swimming in homemade knitwear once and for all.”

“It seems famed lingerie model Eva Herzigova might also be the unofficial Gams of Cannes. With the exception of last year, in which she was pregnant, Eva generally always shows up at the French film festival at least once in something that openly begs for your vote for the coveted Gams d'Or.

Not that she doesn't have the bod, and I congratulate her on her consistency. But I'm a bit less enchanted by the fact that I suspect these are the widow's weeds the Playboy bunnies will wear when Hugh Hefner is finally, irreversibly tempted by the big pillowy sex swing in the sky (where I hear you can get super-strong Viagra without a prescription -- so, like Mexico, but without the threat of dysentery). Why steal their thunder, Eva? They're going to be sad enough as it is.”

“When I saw this dress from afar, in a wee photo thumbnail, I expected that when it enlarged I'd see a wig-wearing Phoebe Price in it.

Because if there is anyone in this world likely to wear a gown one of the nominees would sport at the Circus Animal Tamers Banquet and Awards Gala -- or CATBAG -- it is our girl P-Squared, who has never met a cutout she thought was too small. Or maybe Bai Ling, whom I imagine actually does wrangle leopards in her spare time. This does not bode well for Corinne Touzet, whose reasonably long resume indicates she might be an actual working actress, and therefore would probably prefer to avoid speculation that she is secretly operating an old-timey brothel -- which, if you think about it, is not that different than lion-taming, but possibly with a smaller whip. Then again, she did wear the dress, so maybe she WANTS people to think she's about to run off and publish a salacious semiautobiographical novel called Petting Zoo.”

“A lot of people have e-mailed us asking why the hell Phoebe Price gets invited to Cannes every year. One of our pet theories is that people are egging her on, because laying bets on what percentage of her body will be exposed is both fun and lucrative, and also everyone just wants to see if The Crimson Nutbar can top herself.

I'm starting to think Lady Victoria Hervey falls into that category as well.

Like, I'm pretty sure next year someone will say, "Hey, do you think Lady Victoria Hervey will be wearing anything that's actually sewn together?" And someone else will reply, "Who's that, again? Princess Sparkle Panties? Nah, she clearly hates a seam." Say what you will about Victoria Beckham and her love of the skimpy and dramatic, but she does stop short of bedazzled illusion netting. (SO FAR.) If we could just get Lady Hervey, Phoebe Price, and Bai Ling together in a movie, we could call it Fuglie's Angels -- plot TBD, and also, totally beside the point -- and then maybe they could all show up at Cannes for an actual REASON sometime.”

“There is nothing Eva Longoria loves more than a nice, subtle understatement.

Although there is a part of me that appreciates this drama -- kind of the way I thought it was deeply ridiculous in a HILARIOUS way that Celine Dion gave all her wedding guests a large photo album full of glamour shots of herself, and then a while later had a second wedding that I believe involved riding elephants -- I just can't help wondering if Eva thinks that every time she sets foot in France, she needs to remind us all of her lavish wedding. Cannes is a big, fancy deal, sure, but did she really need to deprive every ballet academy in Europe of its tulle supply? I would suggest Eva is the female embodiment of Bobby Trendy, but frankly, Bobby Trendy is already sort of the female embodiment of Bobby Trendy. And somewhere out there, looking at this photo, he is having an aneurysm of pleasure.”
