The infamous film Cleopatra was a smashing success for Elizabeth Taylor in at least two ways: It introduced her to two of the loves of her life, Richard Burton and Bulgari jewelry. Burton commemorated the start of his scandalous on-set affair with Taylor by purchasing her a massive emerald ring from the jeweler, which he followed up with a matching necklace and brooch for their engagement a few months later.

So it seems only fitting that Taylor’s Burton-selected Bulgari jewelry would return to the red carpet for a 50th anniversary Cleopatra viewing in Cannes, worn by another great beauty of her time, Jessica Chastain.

If you’ve been too busy drooling over all the gorgeous gowns on the Cannes red carpet to pay attention to what the boys are wearing, allow us to redirect your attention to Justin Timberlake.

Like Ryan Gosling before him, Timberlake has taken this opportunity to spread his sartorial wings and try out a few new funky (though still classic — no full denim attire this time around!) suits.

Four Lipstick Colors We’re Loving at Cannes

May/21/2013 at 09:00 AM ET

There might not be a lot of color on the clothes at Cannes, but the lipstick is a different story. Below, four colors that we think were real standouts on the red carpet at the film festival.

Zoë Saldana‘s rich, deep red was the perfect compliment to her steely topaz Valentino gown. The dewy finish kept the look youthful, which was key to making her whole look feel fresh.

Jessica Biel ordinarily loves a nude lip, but she broke out of her comfort zone to choose a deep rose that complemented the swath of pink in her Dior dress. Light eye makeup and a retro do really highlighted how much the girlie pink hue played up Biel’s famously full lips.

Kirsten Dunst also opted for a red lip for her big Cannes red carpet walk, though she opted for a much more ’50s-appropriate, Betty Draper-inspired look. Lined to perfection and elegantly matte, the bold color made her blue eyes pop.

And Marion Cotillard attended a daytime photocall with a soft, blush pink lip color that we’re dying to get our hands on. It looks fresh with her feminine bob — and an extra coat of gloss made the look nighttime-appropriate a little later.

There are a few things we know Carey Mulligan loves on a red carpet: Black and white. Funky jackets. And a bold statement shoe.

And apparently she found an outfit that meets all those criteria so well, she wanted to wear it again before the month was out!

Mulligan first wore this Lanvin suit (featuring an off-white tuxedo jacket, silk pants and a matching top) and Christian Louboutin “Miyousra” heels at a Good Morning America appearance on May 1.

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.

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?

Octavia Spencer’s awards season tour in 2012 didn’t just nab her an Oscar and a Golden Globe — it also was the beginning of a beautiful friendship between the actress and the designer.

So it’s no surprise that Spencer has stuck with Shoji for all her major events, up to and including the Cannes photocall and premiere of her film Fruitvale Station.

The actress had several lovely choices for her big red carpet moment, but in the end she went with this elegant “carmine red” gown, featuring draped tulle over brocade with sequin accents — plus coordinating red sandals. “We almost always collaborate on her custom pieces,” Shoji tells PEOPLE of the process, which included three fittings to get it just right. “Octavia has a great sense of style and knows what looks good on her body so it’s easy!”
