    Cannes – Daytime Classics

    The Cannes film festival is always a super glamorous event, and that means for daytime photocalls as well as evening Red Carpet events. This is not an occasion for jeans and t-shirts, the celebrities are never less than dressed up at Cannes. And this gives fashion watchers the perfect opportunity to check out some fabulous looks for daytime. From lace to florals, to Freida Pinto in the cutest two piece, there have been some highly covetable looks that could translate to glamorous daytime occasions like the races, the tennis and weddings. These are my favourite daytime looks so far from Cannes. Kirsten Dunst shows that white can be the perfect shade for both porcelain…
