Cannes 2012 Day One Fashion Highlights

Lowlights also works.

Cannes Film Festival 2012 is now underway, previewing new films from all genres and parts of the world whilst simultaneously giving the rich and famous another excuse to sail yachts on the French Riviera. With barely any time to recover from their Met Ball hangovers, celebrities have already had to migrate to France and don their next batch of red carpet-ready attire (won't someone please think of the celebrities!). It's so far been pretty disappointing in terms of both personas and fashions, so we're just hoping that Lady Gaga, at least one Olsen, and Angelina Jolie's leg show up at some point over the next few days.
