Eva Herzigova’s Glamorous Maternity Style at Cannes

With an array of long, sparkly gowns sweeping past me on the red carpet at the opening night of the 60th Cannes Film Festival, there was one that stood out for me (and it was’t just because of the baby bump I promise!). Eva Herzigova floated fairytale-like into the Valentino dinner hosted by Chopard in a beautiful (and tres feminine) pink candy colored gown, Valentino of course. The pregnant Czech born model who is due to give birth in just two weeks time confessed to me that “Valentino made this especially for me, nothing else will fit!,” laughing as she touched her round stomach. Accessorized with a Chopard necklace set in pink gold with pink sapphires, kunzites, diamonds and purple pearls (worth $30,4000, if you’re wondering) and radiant, nude make up, this was girlie glamour done to perfection — and not a flat shoe or elasticated waistband in sight. “I love the festival, it’s so glamorous,” she says. As she glides effortlessly past me her sparkly heels, I couldn’t agree more. — Monique Jessen
