2006 CANNES UNDRESSED! By Kat Giantis
Double Vision: While fame-craving, cleavage-exposing starlets (Paris, we're looking in your direction) have long been a staple at Cannes, it's the haute couture-encased stars who rightfully take center stage. This week, best-dressed honors go to Cate Blanchett and Penélope Cruz, who perfectly encapsulate the drop-dead glamour that is expected -- but isn't always seen -- on the Croisette. On the left, Cate, in barely there makeup and swept-back tresses, descends from the "Babel" premiere in a dramatic, black and white kimono-style gown that is both bold and modern, while on the right, Cruz goes old Hollywood for the debut of "Volver" in an ethereal strapless cream confection that accents her glowing skin and chocolate locks. They're two very different dresses for two very different actresses, but they share a common thread: They illuminate the personalities of the wearers, an increasingly rare distinction these days, when more often than not the one making the red-carpet fashion statement is the stylist.
