Anna dello Russo gets Bridezilla's goat!

OMG, I think I've missed some breaking news!! Did Anna dello Russo get married in Cannes?

Vogue Nippon's Editor-at-large is famed for her outlandish outfits and sartorial experimentation, but, what was she thinking when she stepped out in this. Seems that the Kate Middleton effect is more infectious than I first thought! So much for being a leader...

Wearing a bespoke Alberta Ferretti creation, Anna looked more like a bride that had lost her way, than an Editor gracing the red carpet at Cannes.

And, being just weeks away from my own nuptials, I'm seriously not impressed with Anna trying to steal the thunder of real brides.

Leave the poofy white dresses to us Anna!

Ok, rant over.

So there's about 35 days to go before my wedding extravaganza begins (eeks!) and it looks like I'm going to be bang on trend. White is a major hit this summer!! Phew.

Here's how the stars perfected the white trend at Cannes:

My lady crush of the season: Uma Thurman looks just divine in this Versace number. The dress is a vision of perfection! I totally adore the thigh slit, the layers of maribou feather and the cut-out back. I'm actually toying with the idea of applying my scissors to my wedding dress... 

Showing how to wear white with class, the gorgeous Uma triumphs again. Beautiful Dolce frock!

Who says white is angelic? Rosie Huntington-Whiteley comes over all devilish in MaxMara.

I want to be Bianca Balti in this Dolce dress.

Jane Fonda is 73. Jane Fonda is wearing figure-hugging Pucci. Jane Fonda is amazing. Enough said.

Ok, so this isn't strictly white, but I just had to give style snaps to Zoe Saldana for this effort. She rocks!

And, because Bridezilla has her claws out, here's how not to wear white:

 ICK!

ICKY!!

ICKIER!!!

Dramarama

Ooh, isn't it a treat when the stars pull out all the stops to out-dress each other! Well, this year at Cannes that appears to be precisely the case. 'The bigger the better' seems to be the moto of the actresses (and their stylists)...which is pretty much always the case for Miss Magpie, who just can't get enough of this OTT display of net, tulle and lace.

Seeing as everyone is going for the more is more look, I thought a little game of top trumps could be fun:

 Aishwarya Rai in Elie Saab

Dress: 7/10 (v. pretty)

Hair & Make-up: 5/10 (little bit drag)

Accessories: 5/10 (dull)

Poise (ease in front of the camera): 4/10 (too stiff)

BTB (bigger the better) factor: 6/10 (fairly big)

X-factor: 6/10 (she sure does shine)

RANKING: AVERAGE

Cate Blanchett in Alexander McQueen

Dress: 8/10 (bonus point for wearing McQueen)

Hair & Make-up: 5/10 (bit too natural)

Accessories: 6/10 (gorge cuff)

Poise: 9/10 (oh-so natural)

BTB factor: 7/10 (love the white net)

X-factor: 7/10 (she's a star!)

RANKING: MOVING ON UP

Therefore Cate out-trumps Aishwarya.

Kate Beckinsale in Marchesa

Dress: 9/10 (like a fairy princess)

Hair & Make-up: 7/10 (there's a bit too much shine)

Accessories: 6/10 (needs something else)

Poise: 8/10 (stiff arm)

BTB factor: 9/10 (doesn't get much bigger)

X-factor: 9/10 (she's got it)

RANKING: HOT, HOT, HOT

Therefore Kate out trumps Cate.

 Eva Longoria Parker in Pucci

Dress: 10/10 (Utterly divine)

Hair & Make-up: 8/10 (Beautiful)

Accessories: 8/10 (Look at that rock on her finger!)

Poise: 9/10 (this aint her first time in front of the camera)

BTB factor: 10/10 (Dramarama)

X-Factor: 10/10 (buckets)

RANKING: TOP TRUMP

 I wonder what they'll pull out of the bag next...
