You've probably all seen the endless stream of gorgeous dress after gorgeous dress at this years Cannes Film Festival. There have been some truly stunning dresses this year (can we all bow down to the beauty that is Blake Lively for just one moment?) but it got me thinking, what would I wear to Cannes? 

Of course the majority, if not all of these glimmering starlet's outfits cost more than my house, and there is no way I'd be able to afford a Zac Posen or McQueen gown for the occasion. Instead I thought I would throw together three different outfits, all Cannes red carpet worthy, but all different budgets. You never know, I might suddenly become a world famous actress and get an invite for next year. 

My favourite of the three is the most expensive, that McQueen dress makes me want to weep a little. I do also love the other two, the soft yellow drape dress and periwinkle blue Grecian style dress are vibrant yet soft and feminine, something I don't usually go for but seems perfect for Cannes. I was initially going to throw some jewellery into the mix, but the embellishment on the dresses and clutches take care of any bling that might be needed.  It was fun seeing what I could get for how much and it just proves that you can give those stars a run for their money without making yourself bankrupt!

Give this a go over on polyvore and tell me what your dream Cannes outfit would be!
