Cannes

A vintage photograph of Cannes
The always fabulous Cannes Film Festival is going on this week.. So many films I want to see! Anyway, there have been some great looks at Cannes this year. I've been really impressed! Here are some of my favorite Cannes girls..

Grace

This is a quote from the May 5 issue of the Hollywood Reporter which profiled Grace Kelly's Storybook Romance With Cannes..
"In 1955, the fest was desperate to have a star with her cultivated glamour in attendance; then, a chance meeting with a prince changed her life...."

1955 Cannes Film Festival
GRACE WAS A GUEST OF HONOR AT THE 1955 FESTIVAL
MEETING PRINCE RAINIER, CANNES, 1955
"Only a decade into its run, the Cannes Film Festival had gone over the tawdry, topless-starlets-on the-beach edge. So in 1955, organizers worked to persuade Grace Kelly, then 25, to come to promote The Country Girl, for which she'd already won an Oscar. Kelly -- who had shot To Catch a Thief there the previous year -- classed up the place, and in return, indirectly, Cannes made her a princess. " -THR
