Was There a Cannes Dress Code Memo and We Just Missed It?

If you’ve been following Cannes fashion as avidly as we have over the past week, you’ve likely noticed a few things. Namely, that everyone appears to be wearing black. Or white. Or (wait for it) black and white.

It’s a graphic, sleek and chic look that’s easy for any star to pull off — ease being a must during a week when it’s been pouring every day, so stars have more important things to worry about (like keeping their hair dry) than, say, coordinating a full outfit.

Kerry Washington doesn’t mind you knowing that she puts effort into her spot-on red carpet looks.

The Scandal star, 36, does use a stylist, Erin Walsh, but she doesn’t rely on her.

“I work very closely with my stylist,” Washington, clad in Giambattista Valli, told PEOPLE at an event for her show on Thursday in L.A. “She and I are a team.”

The actress enjoys the process of selecting what to wear and makes it a priority to ensure her choices speak for herself.

4 Outfits in 1 Day: Jennifer Lawrence’s Glam Cannes Style

It’s probably safe to say that Jennifer Lawrence didn’t bring just one rolling carry-on when she flew to Cannes. The Hunger Games star wore a total of four different outfits for her first day at this year’s French film festival.

Kicking things off in head-to-toe Christian Dior (no shocker there), the face of Miss Dior wore a crocheted, ruffled bustier along with black trousers and ultra-pointy bright pumps for the Catching Fire photo call.

She ditched Dior for more Dior at her next stop, selecting a black-and-white Christian Dior gown, plus stacked Jimmy Choo sandals. And despite the fact that thieves had allegedly taken off with an estimated million bucks worth of Chopard jewelry the day before, the brand was able to loan Lawrence a pair of emerald-and-diamond drop earrings, a diamond bracelet and one jaw-droppingly huge emerald-and-diamond cocktail ring for the Jimmy P premiere.

For the beach-side party at the Baoli Club celebrating her movie, Lawrence made a quick change into a strapless white Dior dress with a silhouette similar to her previous look. The design featured a pop of color via a printed bouquet at the hip, which she coordinated with bold pink Jimmy Choo heels.

But Lawrence didn’t stick to that outfit for long. Once inside the party, she made her fashion finale with a sleeveless gray dress with a sheer panel at the legs, accessorized with a woven pink clutch and what appear to be the black peep-toes from Outfit #2.

So, which of Jennifer Lawrence’s four looks do you love most?

StyleWatchers, we’re surprised at you.

After weeks of voting looks like this, this and this to the top of the Best Dressed list, you picked something that’s, well, a little snoozy.

We certainly won’t argue that Julianne Hough doesn’t look great. She looks darling. In fact, this may be in her five best looks ever.

But in a week that included outfits like this, this and this, we think you could have picked something a little bolder.

That being said, we can’t deny the simple elegance of her Calvin Klein Collection LWD, worn with clean, classic accessories by the line. And her hair and makeup were perfectly on-point. Okay, we concede, she looks terrific, but we can’t help thinking that one of the other ladies on the list could just as well have nabbed the top spot.

May/17/2013 at 05:00 PM ET

The weather is warm, the barbeques are getting fired up and it’s time to start changing over your winter wardrobe. Below, check out three sweet, lacy looks to take you from date night to work Monday morning — no coats required.

Ashley Tisdale orange dress INF

Saturday night: This dress is like the holy grail of man attraction. It’s bright, it’s short and it’s girlie without being syrup-y sweet. Add some sexy ankle-strap metallic heels (Ashley Tisdale‘s are Schutz) and leave your hair loose, and we guarantee his eyes will be glued to you all night. This $60 Asos dress has a similarly sassy, citrus-y vibe, and these Michael Antonio heels will make your legs look miles long for less than $50. Skip the coat and borrow his jacket if it gets chilly once the sun goes down.
