Send

At the 68th Cannes Film Festival, stars, as always, showed vivid and memorable outfits. We decided to tell how to sew such dresses with our own hands, and made a selection of suitable patterns.

The film festival introduces new styles, forms and visual effects in the cinema. It presents to the public the modern state of cinema from the perspective of art and, of course, the most magnificent outfits of stars.
The 68th Cannes Film Festival brought together many celebrities from various fields - famous actresses, supermodels, TV presenters, directors, film critics and many others. To stand out against the background of others, beauties traditionally put on chic, and sometimes very outrageous outfits, showing them to the general public on the red carpet.
This time Natalie Portman, Rachel Weisz, Cate Blanchett, Charlize Theron, Eva Langoria, Uma Thurman, Diana Krueger shone in luxurious and sophisticated dresses by Christian Dior, Oscar de la Rento, Dolce and Gabbana, Gucci, Valentino and other eminent designers. . Each outfit is special, emphasizes the dignity of the star, her style and unique beauty image. Such splendor evokes a desire to imitate. And even more - the desire to sew a similar dress. Think impossible? On the contrary! It is enough to choose a good foundation, not to be afraid and not to step back a single idea.

Charlize Theron and Bustier Dress

The always refined and unique Charlize Theron appeared before the public in a chic Dior bustier dress with a long train of flowing silk silk chiffon the color of the sun. A beautiful neckline, bare shoulders and a cut, emphasizing every curve of the magnificent figure of the actress - such a dress catches the eye. Do you want the same? You can take any corset model, for example, a dress with a fitted bodice on spaghetti straps. From this pattern you only need a strapless top. And for the skirt - a dress with a train from the wedding collection from Burda 3/2014. To get as close as possible to the original, the front panel of the skirt should be with minimal flare.

Natalie Portman and two different looks

The tender and girlish young Natalie Portman is impeccable in any outfit. A dress from Rodarte with a sexual connotation looks very frank, but at the same time there is not a hint of vulgarity. By the way, Burda magazine has very similar models, for example, a pattern of a dress with a smell effect and low waist or a dress with a smell in a casual style. Both patterns can be used to sew a dress like Natalie Portman. It's all about the fabric.

A completely different image - the emerald dress from Lanvin emphasizes the fragility of Natalie. Long, flying, romantic from flowing silk - this is possible both for relaxation, and for warm weekdays, and for publication. Accent your waist with a thin strap or belt from the same fabric as the dress. A flared silhouette dress pattern can be found in the June issue of Burda.

Cate Blanchett and Fashion Ruffle Dress

The stately Cate Blanchett with her impeccable figure allows herself both luxurious and quite modest outfits. She made a similar choice this time, appearing in front of the audience in a rather simple but nevertheless very pretty dress with fashionable ruffles from Alexander McQueen. Agree, this can be worn in a feast and in the world. As a basis - a dress model with a stand-up collar. For a fluffy skirt with frills, we take a dress pattern with frills.

Aishwarya Rai and Full Skirt Bustier Dress

The dress of the beautiful actress Aishwarya Rai from Elie Saab Couture, you can sew, taking as a basis a pattern of a bustier dress or a pattern of a dress with a full skirt. You will get a brilliant model for any celebration.

Diana Kruger and a short dress

Clear cut lines, a detachable skirt at the waist, a front flower embroidered with sequins and beads, large buttons with rhinestones on the back as a fastener and the same on the sleeves make it simple this seemingly concise short dress from Dolce & Gabbana, in which the charming Diana Kruger walked along red carpet in Cannes. I love these dresses - good fabric, moderate but luxurious decor, no jewelry or just earrings and beautiful shoes. It is enough to make small changes to the pattern of the fitted dress - sheath - to make the skirt shorter and flare it slightly, remove the pockets, change the sleeve length and add the appropriate decorative elements - and the dress is ready!

Rachel Weiss and sexy deep-necked jumpsuit

Overalls are more relevant than ever. So celebrities choose them as outfits for star events. One day at the Cannes Film Festival, Rachel Weiss was in a jumpsuit by Narciso Rodriguez. Open neckline, trousers that cover the heel. A decorative element is a jumper that forms slots in the front and back so that the bodice details always remain in place, which will allow to avoid embarrassing situations. In the pattern of overalls with a shoulder strap, remove the intermediate part connecting the top and trousers, extend the bodice to the waist line, simulate the back on its basis and get a jumpsuit on a star theme.

Salma Hayek and an open dress on the floor

Chic, sexy and feminine Salma Hayek does not hesitate to wear revealing outfits. Gucci dress in fuchsia color perfectly emphasizes the dignity of a gorgeous figure and the impeccable beauty of a Hollywood actress. Pay attention to the model of the dress in the spirit of the 50s - it was simply created to sew a dress like Salma's.

Eva Longoria and Lace Top Dress

Another beauty who is always in the field of attention of photographers is Eva Longoria. She feels on the red carpet, as if she had never left her. This can be seen in her look, movements and, of course, outfits. Dress from Georges Hobeika from a couture collection in pale blue looks very harmonious on the olive skin of the heroine of Desperate Housewives. Even a novice dressmaker will cope with a skirt in this dress - a rectangular cloth made of silk chiffon must be gathered or folded, as you like. But with a lace top dresses will have to work a little. As a basis, you can use the top pattern with a V-neck. And how to make lace shelves - look at the pages of the Burda 12/2013 (p. 102) in the description of the jacket model without the fastener.

Marion Cotillard and an exquisite little dress

And concludes our review of Marion Cotillard in a dress from Dior. Her style is always impeccable, everyone admires her natural beauty. Her outfits on the red carpet were not the most luxurious, but at the same time refined and delighting others. Dior short dress is richly decorated with floral elements. And again, as you know, the point is in the fabric and your imagination - how and with what to decorate a simple bustier dress to give it a special personality.
