As expected, last night’s annual amfAR Gala Cannes was model central. While you had a handful of actresses (Kristen Stewart, Ruby Rose, Laura Harrier, etc.) and a singer or two or three (Ellie Goulding, Nicole Scherzinger, Teyana Taylor), it was wall-to-wall catwalkers at the benefit. So it wasn’t surprising to see lots of sheer gowns along with flashes of leg and cleavage. But quite a few stars opted to suit up with sets featuring everything from embellishments to zippers. Red was a hot hue and there were pops of blue, especially when it came to eye makeup.
