We’re accustomed to seeing Angelina Jolie in her usual neutral palette of grays, beiges and blacks, so when she stepped out in a stunning yellow gown for the Ocean’s 13 premiere in Cannes, we just had to know more. Turns out that she started working on it with Emanuel Ungaro’s chief designer Peter Dundas “a little more than a month ago,” an insider tells PEOPLE. Dundas sent her a batch of sketches from which she chose the gown and the color. So no luck for the rest of us in getting one, since “the dress was made especially for her — it’s unique.” But the custom design didn’t end with the gown — Chopard created ten carat yellow diamond earrings and a 20 carat yellow diamond cocktail ring just for her appearance on the red carpet. At least to our impressed eyes, it’s effort well spent!

Everyone loves the idea of escaping to an exotic locale, but we can’t exactly afford to jet off to Bora Bora every weekend. So we have to depend on our scents to transport us — and Victoria’s Secret Exotic Perfume Extract Rollerballs do the trick perfectly. Choose from two scents: Bali Orchid is a densely tropical floral, while Moorea Passion Fruit is infused with notes of pomegranate and kumquat. Even better, the rollerballs come in the chicest intricately floral packaging and the rollerball is perfect for an on-the-go touch up during the day. Buy Victoria’s Secret Exotic Nectars Island Infusion Body Mists for $11 each at victoriassecret.com.

We’re usually big fans of Kylie Minogue’s style, but we aren’t exactly sure her look from yesteday’s Ocean’s 13 premiere in Cannes is museum worthy. While Kylie definitely has the stomach to pull off a sheer midriff panel, the patent-leather belts running up and down make this Dolce & Gabbana frock look a bit dominatrix than fashionista. Throw in the clear platform wedges and we aren’t sure how Kylie can even walk! Tell us: What do you think of Kylie’s premiere outfit? Is it a hit or a miss?

Vote on other stars who got it right — and wrong — in this week’s Hit or Miss gallery.

If you thought shorts were hard enough to wear, here’s the real kicker — rompers (a.k.a, shorts jumpsuits) have exploded for summer. Sure, celebs like Nicole Richie may be able to pull it off, but would you? The look can veer towards the childish so it’s not for the faint of heart. Great legs and loads of confidence are the best accessories, for sure. Tell us: Will you try a romper this summer, or is this a trend you are happy to pass up?
