Cannes 2014: 20 Best Gowns On The Red Carpet

Cannes Film Festival 2014 has finally come to a close. And what do we have in terms of fashion in this festival is lot of matter to discuss. This year, there have been some underlying trends at Cannes. Many celebrities chose to wear very subtle colours this year. Cannes is at the peak of summer and we expected the best gowns at Cannes 2014 to be bright and colourful. However, the trend seemed to be for light colours.

When we are talking about the best dressed celebrities at Cannes 2014 then we cannot miss a few names. Nicole Kidman was definitely one of the celebrities to sport the best gowns this season. Cate Blanchett as always managed to look stunning in whatever she wore at the Cannes Film Festival 2014. Blake Lively was like fashion livewire who have a different look every time she walked on to the red carpet. Apart from them, both Aishwarya Rai and Freida Pinto were super hit on the red carpet.

Jessica Chastain managed to wear some the best gowns at Cannes 2014. We also liked what Sonam Kapoor wore but her outfits were not good enough to feature among the best gowns. Uma Thurman was a late entry into the Cannes Film festival. But both her red carpet looks feature on our list. She gave us glamour in old fashioned Hollywood style at Cannes 2014.

These are the 20 best gowns we have seen this season at Cannes Film Festival 2014.
