There are still four days remaining at the ultra-chic Cannes Film Festival, but we’ve been drooling over the fierce fashions since the opening ceremonies.

Tuesday, late arrival Kirsten Dunst (left) made her first move at the On The Road photo call, wearing a feminine Dolce & Gabbana dress, plus a Van Cleef & Arpels watch and metallic platform heels.

On Friday, Naomi Watts (center) brought the drama at the Madagascar 3 premiere, choosing a dreamy Marchesa confection paired with romantic waves.

The Met Ball is often considered the Oscars of fashion, so we expect (and anxiously wait!) to see what over-the-top looks will hit the red carpet. Last night was a sea of gold, peplum, and feathers, but here are the stars that stood out for taking real style risks:

Beyoncé: She’s baaack! The superstar was last to arrive on the red carpet, and she was totally worth the wait. The sheer and feathered Givency Haute Couture by Riccardo Tisci gown was the perfect look to flaunt the singer’s enviable post-baby body.

Karolina Kurkova: Taking the color of the night to the next level, the supermodel stunned in a head-to-toe (turban included) gold Bridget Bardot-esque ensemble by Rachel Zoe.

Emma Stone: Never one to conform, Stone was one of the few ladies rocking a short dress. The actress looked like a doll in a red Lanvin mini adorned with more than 3,000 plastic flowers, according to her date (and designer) Alber Elbaz.

Florence Welch: Somehow the singer always makes her signature style work — and that was the case for last night’s intricate multi-tiered Alexander McQueen confection.

Michelle Williams: Band of Outsiders Campaign

She may be in the midst of an Oscar campaign, but in Boy. by Band of Outsiders’ newest Polaroid campaign, Michelle Williams looks ready to quit her day job.

It’s her second turn modeling for the brand, and this time around, the My Week with Marilyn star plays an unruly office assistant: pulling pranks, filing reports and halfheartedly performing due diligence before taking a lunch break.

Despite the shoot’s location — a Hollywood cemetery! — Williams happily hams it up it in the brand’s floral spring/summer collection.

It seems designer Scott Sternberg has a knack for taking stars out of their natural habitat: previous campaigns depict Kirsten Dunst as a zookeeper, James Marsden as a mailman and Rupert Grint as a hard-partying gambler. Tell us: What do you think of Williams’s cool campaign photos?

In less than two weeks, five of Hollywood’s most sought-after leading ladies selected similar looks from Valentino’s spring/summer 2012 collection.

For the Jan. 9 Rome premiere of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Rooney Mara wore a scarlet, tiered gown with piqued sleeves and sheer paneling. In the days that followed, both Jessica Alba and Kristen Bell attended awards season soirees in leather-accented styles, while Kirsten Dunst and Kate Bosworth opted for slightly more black-tie versions of the same silhouette.

Vocal about her distaste for trends, Kirsten Dunst‘s must-have items run the gamut from the traditional to the thrifty.

“I use this as my toiletry bag,” she tells WhoWhatWear.com of seafood exporter Petrossian’s trademark caviar cooler (bottom left, $10). “It looks cute in my bathroom.”

Underscoring her crafty beauty solution, the Melancholia star also confesses to indulging in luxe home accessories. “Yes, I have an adult blankie,” she says of her penchant for sinfully soft $595 Ralph Lauren cashmere throws (top right), which she complements with $45 A.P.C. candles in Jasmine Vert (top left). They are “reasonably priced in the world of high-end candles,” she says. “And they last a long time.”

Kirsten Dunst: I’m Learning to Dress My Age

Kirsten Dunst: Melancholia and Shopping

She may be known for crater-deep dimples and alabaster skin, but Kirsten Dunst says she’s all grown up.

“I’m currently cleaning out my closet of childish dresses,” the Melancholia actress explains in the winter issue of T Magazine. “I want to start dressing like I’m 30. Some of the things I have are like, ‘I can’t wear this anymore, it’s not cute.’”

Items on the star’s shopping list include basics from A.P.C. and Balenciaga, which she stocked up on after a self-imposed shopping hiatus. “I didn’t shop for a long time,” she confesses, “People bother you.” Not on the agenda? Trendy items and New York-sourced vintage, which she dubs “too expensive.”

However, like most women, Dunst is a sucker for sartorial romance. “I like it when I do a photo shoot and it’s a fantasy of something,” she says. “You can dress me up.”

Behind the Scenes of Kirsten Dunst’s Wild Bulgari Fragrance Shoot

Apr/21/2011 at 05:30 PM ET

You’ve seen the pictures — now check out the video! Kirsten Dunst takes a walk (or rest?) on the wild side in her new Bulgari Mon Jasmin Noir fragrance ads, striking sensual poses while dripping in the brand’s gorgeous jewels. Modeled after the brand’s fantastical “Mediterranean Eden” theme, the shoot actually took place in sunny Pasadena, Calif. — though you could never tell from the video. Photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott had their staff transform the site into a fairytale world, complete with an Italian-style garden and gorgeous villa setting. But the most amazing moment comes toward the end of the clip, when a real lion (with its trainer) is released from its trailer and prepares for its big close-up. Now that’s wild! Tell us: What do you think of Bulgari’s new campaign? –Kate Hogan
