CANNES, France: Model Karlie Kloss gave celebrity guests at the amfAR annual charity gala more than a run for their money in the style stakes, wearing a slinky diamante-encrusted halter neck cocktail gown with sensually large arm holes by Tom Ford.
The 6-foot former ballerina towered above the petite actress Eva Longoria as they posed for cameras together, before gracefully greeting her dress creator Tom Ford, who looked dapper in a tux.
Kloss has been consistently dazzling during the Cannes Film Festival since it began last week, including a standout Oscar de la Renta powder blue embellished mermaid gown at the glitzy de Grisogono party earlier this week.
Both that event and the amfAR gala were held at the picturesque Hotel du Cap-Eden Roc in Cap d’Antibes.
The spirit of Oscar de la Renta lives on every day at the Cannes Film Festival.
Though the Dominican Republic-born fashion designer passed away last year aged 82 after battling cancer, his landmark fashion designs continue to dominate the red carpet — from Emma Stone’s black sheer tulle gown at the “The Irrational Man” photocall to Aishwarya Rai’s maroon silk number and Karlie Kloss’ incredible blue fishtail gown at the De Grisogono soiree.
Now a documentary film has been screened at Cannes, called “Ovation for Oscar,” paying homage to his work.
Featuring US Vogue Editor Anna Wintour and his widow, Annette de la Renta, the 20-minute film, directed by Ryan Curtis, is a behind-the-scenes look at the first posthumous exhibit of the designer’s work at the SCAD college of art and design, with which the late designer was closely involved.
“When Oscar de la Renta passed there was an outpouring of love,” said Curtis, adding that he relished the chance to pay homage to the designer via the prism of the college.
