Great Outfits: Marion Cotillard

Dressed as a flapper, Marion Cotillard walks on the set of Woody Allen's latest movie, "Midnight in Paris", shooting on location in the French capital. French first lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy is set to make a guest appearance in the movie.

Owen Wilson and Marion Cotillard on set filming scenes for "Midnight in Paris", the new film by Woody Allen. Shooting took place in Paris on the river Seine. Obviously, this is a period film, set in the 1920's.

Here is a cute chic look from Marion. Yes, occasionally I like her casual looks, and this is one of them. I love her cream blazer. It reminds me of the cream I put in my coffee.

This is one of the few of Marion Cotillard's causal looks that I like. I usually don't think she's too chic off the red carpet, but here, I like her use of a polka dot blue tee with a light blue star sweater with jeans and a red leather Dior bag.


A cute look- creamy pink and red.

Marion wears an airy Nina Ricci silk dress with stunning diamond jewelry, including a signature hanging necklace.

This pretty strapless gown doesn't look like a Dolce & Gabbana creation though. This early Marion Cotillard look is from 2007.

I love Marion here, in 2007, for wearing a fairy, airy swift look of a pink silk almost caftan like dress with strappy sandal-like heels.

I am in love with Marion's look from 2006. This strapless lace tulle overlay bubble dress is so beautiful.

This is a look I can relate to and appreciate. Marion is relaxed arrived at LAX airport in a sleek fedora, navy blazer over a beaded horse print tee and a cute tiered skirt that looks like she got it at Forever 21. She wore beige leather sandals and a white Dior shoulder bag to finish off her casual look.

She doesn`t need a red carpet to get glam! The French actress is daytime chic in a scarlet halter dress and gold glittered Christian Louboutin heels while out in Cannes.


Marion wore a Christian Dior Fall 2009 Couture nude dress with a lace embellished overlay and Chopard jewels.

The dress had been modified from the runway, which was in my opinion pretty burlesque and gross. I much prefer Marion's less Dita von Teese version here.

I am in love with this look head to toe. I would wear this!

The best actress nominee for La Vie en Rose is magical in a pale gray, strapless Nina Ricci gown and Chopard diamonds.

Here is Marion in 2008 at the Cesar Film Awards in France in a pink Gaultier Paris dress.
I love how feminine and girly this look is.


Kate Winslet would’ve never taken to the red carpet alongside the dashing Leonardo looking this bad. If anything she raised her game.

This Thakoon Pre-Fall 2010 print dress doesn’t work for me on the red carpet for a major film premiere. It just doesn’t belong.

Yes complaints are made that she only wears Dior, but I would’ve preferred a Dior re-run to this.

It just feels like a lazy effort.

It’s sleek, clean, unfussy, modern and frankly unexpected.

It’s not Dior, it’s not cute and it appeals more to the edgier ‘pre-Dior’ style so many of you wish she’d return to.

I love her texture of her shimmering L’Wren Scott Fall 2009 sheath dress. It’s a classic L’Wren Scott style which flatters every figure.

Dior heels, a slick bun and flawless make-up complete the look.

Marion looks absolutely beautiful in her Christian Dior Spring 2010 gown, which has been modified from the runway- which I am so thankful for. Marion's version is far more fabulous.

The French actress Marion Cotillard wore a silver sequin Christian Dior Couture gown to the Costume Institute Gala.

As much as I love Marion, I didn’t love this gown. I wish it has been strapless, as I really dislike the long sleeves.

I’m also not particularly fond of her hairstyle either, as I feel like I’ve seen it many times before.

I'm putting it here because it is likable, but not for me.

Marion Cotillard was of course at the show looking divine wearing a lemon Christian Dior Pre-Fall 2010 dress which had a pink lace trim. I just love the knotted detail at the hem.
I love this look had to toe.


As much as I love Marion Cotillard in Dior, it was refreshing to see her supporting other French designer on the red carpet.

The French actress wore a gorgeous Lefranc Ferrant Fall 2010 jumpsuit.

Her metallic sequined jumpsuit was a perfect choice for Marion to show us how versatile she is on the red carpet.

I love hairstyle.

It’s so elegant, so Parisian, so chic, and so delightful on Marion. I don’t think many could pull off this hairstyle.

Her look was paired with Jimmy Choo accessories including black Jimmy Choo ‘Marble’ booties, which look like the Quinze booties without the embellishments, and a black Jimmy Choo Candy clutch.

Très chic.

I think Marion Cotillard has a love for mermaids in her heart and I love her for it. And you know what Marion, I do too!

The stunning French actress wowed in a Christian Dior Spring 2010 two tone bustier gown, with gold embellishments fanning out over the skirt.

I love the pink clutch, but not so crazy about those necklaces.


There would’ve been no prizes for guessing that Marion Cotillard would wear Christian Dior. Style.com even predicted that exact dress she would wear.

Her petrol green satin asymmetrical Spring 2010 dress has a thigh-high split with a black négligée peeping through. Jimmy Choo Drake sandals and Chopard jewels complete her look.

I LOVED her in this Elie Saab Fall 2009 Couture draped one shoulder white mini dress.

I adore the embellishment plus the floral appliqué detail at the hem of the dress. Her dress was paired with the runway heels and Chopard jewels. The only thing I don't like is her choice of heels. I wish she chose some color!

The French actress look chic wearing an Elie Saab Fall 2009 taupe sheath dress, paired with burgundy pumps. I love the simple elegance of her gently curled hair.

Marion wore a flattering silver lurex Christian Dior dress with fabulous ruby pumps and her signature watch. I can't help but wish she tamed her perm a little bit more.

The French actress looked stunning in a pink Christian Dior Resort 2010 dress.

I absolutely LOVE her choice of sparkling burgundy Dior wedges, and I am drooling over her pink dress. The color is absolutely perfect on her.

I love the not too revealing plunge which she decorates with multiple silver necklaces, and the way the tie at the front of the dress nips in her waist to give Marion’s tiny frame a gorgeous shape.

Glamorous back-combed hair, smoky eyes, neutral lips, and a python clutch added the perfect finishing touches. While I wish she would have chosen the purple version, I am content the same.


Her pale blue Christian Dior Fall 2009 embroidered gown is gorgeous, as it brightens up her complexion.

Marion wore this chic classic dove grey Christian Dior skirt suit that I appreciate for its simplicity. Some may say it's boring, but Marion and I see it's longevity a versatility. The cap sleeved jacket was belted to clinch in her waist, and give her a flattering silhouette.
Her lady-like look was contrasted with a pair of Christian Dior Spring 2009 tribal heels, with a African fertility goddess figurine as the heel.

French actress Marion Cotillard wore a very summery lilac strapless Christian Dior dress which she paired with silver open-toe heels and a double buckle belt. She wore this rather casual look to a premier, which I think isn't right, but I like the look alone anyways.

She arrived wearing a stunning figure hugging multi-coloured mosaic patterned Elie Saab Fall 2009 day dress with a cowl-neck and padded shoulders.

She oozed that chic sophistication that just makes her the breath-taking star that she is.

Her hair was styled in a classic beehive updo, and she completed her look with silver Jimmy Choo satin peep-toes and a blue python clutch from the same Elie Saab Fall 2009 collection.

J’Adore.

I don't really like this look- starting with her slicked back hair. Yes, she's being creative with her neck-length hair, but I still think this quiff hairdo is not chic. I don't like the length of the dress either. I think it should be a bit higher- up to her knees. I love this red satin strapless Vivienne Westwood bustier pocketed dress, and I like her black Stella McCartney Fall 2009 embossed faux leather clutch and black peep-toes though!




I love Marion Cotillard for dressing up as a mermaid in this Jean Paul Gaultier Spring 2008 Couture gown on the Oscar red carpet for me. I have always longed to see a mermaid and Marion fulfilled my wishes. I am in awe.

Great Outfits: Chloe Sevigny

Chloe collaborated with Opening Ceremony for a shoe line, and she wear these multi buckle wedge booties.
I love Chloe in this sparkly punchy little number, but I hate her shoes.

I like this look, but I'm not wowed. I love the sexy draping.

this is how you do a short style on the red carpet at the Costume Institute Gala.

This short sassy Proenza Schouler dress shows off her personality.

Her full skirted embroidered lace teal has a high neckline and long sleeves. I just love that purple hemline.

Proenza Schouler shoes and clutch complete this fabulous look.


Chloe wore a Valentino Fall 2010 beaded tiered dress with long sleeves.

I’m glad she wore this dress without the runway jacket, because for some reason I assumed this was a sleeveless dress.

Chloe’s look was typically paired with ankle boots. Her nude pair were from the Valentino Spring 2010 Couture collection. Red lips and a taupe satin clutch completed the look.

I love the runway look with the gorgeous ruffled leather bolero better.

Chloe wears a Versus safety-pin dress from the Spring 2010 collection designed by Christopher Kane.

The LBD is accented with coloured safety pins on the shoulders and the skirt.

I loved seeing the return of the iconic safety pins. It’s a brilliant nod to the infamous safety pin dress worn by Liz Hurley.

Like the runway, Chloe also carried the Versus shoulder bag which is also covered with multi-coloured safety pins.Is anyone else wishing she’d gone full on matchy matchy and paired her dress and bag with the Versus safety pin sandals?

I’m very indifferent when it comes to Chloe Sevigny.

I know many of you love her style, but my affections changed look by look.

This is the very definition of downtown urban-chic.

We often see her wearing Proenza Schouler and that’s because it’s a match made in fashion heaven.

The actress wore the blue and green mini top and skirt from Proenza Schouler’s Fall 2010 collection.

I hate her black ankle socks and peep-toe shoes. I will never like them.

The look, however, remains effortless. She threw this on.

I much prefer Chloe’s modified look with the print all over.

Chloe Sevigny would’ve been the most worried about getting her rose Valentino sleeveless gown wet as it would’ve deflated those beautiful ruffles.

But she was lucky to have a someone to help shield her dress from the rain.

Buccellati jewels complete the look. This is my favorite Chloe Sevigny look EVER.

I love this black Christian Lacroix Fall 2009 Couture embellished dress covered with a tulle overlay. It is so dramatic.

I’m all about the glamor on the red carpet as you know, but I can fully appreciate Chloe Sevigny’s bed hair and “I just threw this on” style.

With touch of pink to her lips and thick black tights the blonde actress wore a Proenza Schouler Pre-Fall 2010 dress with embroidered details which gave it plenty of texture.

I just love the neckline on this dress which she paired with Proenza Schouler wedged booties, a wrap belt, and a Proenza Schouler croc PS1 clutch. However part of me wishes her ditched the tights and wore the runway shoes.

I love her in this Christian Dior Spring 2010 chiffon print dress with flutter sleeves.

Sometimes I think Chloe tries a little too hard to be cool all the time, so I love is that she doesn’t over accessorize the look nor wear a leather jacket with it.


I’m not one who get carried away with her “style icon” tag, I just judge her look by look and this Isaac Mizrahi Resort 2010 one-shoulder polka dot gown I love.

I also love the fact that it’s not an obvious choice.


I’ve never been one to go gaga over Chloe Sevigny, but I absolutely LOVE her in this Miu Miu Spring 2010 look.

It’s something only the likes of Chloe and Zooey Deschanel could pull off without looking like a grown woman dressing childishly.

Her crystal accented turtle neck top and piquet dog print skirt is so playful and dainty, plus I love her neutral accessories which complement her dress well.

Chloe Sevigny just can’t get enough of Chloé’s Spring 2009 scalloped shorts.

She owns them in many shades including camel, cream and now olive green.

Her shorts were teamed with a pink chiffon blouse and her favorite Chloé wedges which she often pairs with her shorts. Chloe shows just how versatile scalloped shorts can be.


I am in love with this look, even to though to the less fashion forward, it looks ridiculous. I love her Mary Poppins straw hat, her lipstick which adds attitude and her lighter colored version of the runway suit. She completes her look with multi-strapped suede wedges.


Chloe added her own touch with cut off short denim shorts, loose hair and ankle boots. I wish she wore the runway version!

Chloe wears a head-to-toe Chloe Spring 2009 collection look of a navy pant suit under a white blazer with scalloped edged lapels.

The actress wore a seafoam-green tunic, a sparkling choker, crocodile clutch and strappy sandals, all from Balenciaga.

Chloe Sevigny’s laid back style is in full effect here. I do like her khaki very mini vintage Alaia dress, but I am less enthused with her Wrangler denim jacket.

Her animal print Ralph Lauren ankle-wrap heels, are the perfect finishing touch.

I am in love with this look head to toe! Her look consisted of a sheer berry blouse with a gold trim on the high neckline. Her orange mini skirt was embellished with a silver and berry sequins to compliment the blouse. Her animal print chunky bangles are also from the collection.


Chloe usually doesn't go for Narciso Rodriguez, so her wearing this sweet lavender dress from his Spring 2008 collection was a pleasant surprise.

I remember that this is one of the first pictures I ever saw of Chloe Sevigny. I still don't think her resume matches her fame, but I can appreciate a fashionista here and there. I like this juicy Prada dress and just everything head-to-toe.

I love this look only because it is Chloe expressing her personal style. I also like her cheeky top.

This Balenciaga dress is just ok. I know Chloe wanted a simple look, and wanted the luster of the green silk to speak for itself, but I expect something unpredictable from Chloe and this doesn't cut it.

I love this bubblegum pink fun dress! Chloe likes to have fun with fashion, and this color choice sure made her stand out. It may be too bold or girlish for some, but it works for me. I even like her necklace choice, but find her shoe choice bland.
I love her balloon sleeved white blouse with black shorts and a scorpion gold belt by Azzedine Alaia. This look is fun and fresh and classic all at once (2007).

Chloe in 2007 pairing a girlish striped dress with a motorcycle jacket and lace up boots for a girl-meets-badass guy look.

This is something a moxie fashionista would wear- a sheer Chloe dress (from the Fall 2007 collection) with stunning embroidery for a night out.

Chloe looks like she stepped out of 1987 in this 80's moon print dress.

Chloe is known for her kooky boyish style, as shown here in 2007.

I am in love with Chloe's dress. I beading on the bodice and puffed hem is beautiful and sexy. But where's a pop of color? Chloe poses here in 2007.

In a dramatic ruffled and pleated fan dress in 2005.

Chloe channels Marylin Monroe in 2002.

Chloe wears a cute and playful Tara Subkoff dress.






High-waisted short-shorts are this summer’s hottest article of clothing. Because the silhouette shortens the torso, balance your proportions by pairing them with a high-collared top like Chloe Sevigny.

Chloe Sevigny looks great in this pretty floral Emanuel Ungaro dress. I even forgive her black tights and shoes.
