Susan Sarandon Wore Something Unexpected (And Totally Smart) To Cannes

If the Met Gala is the most fashionable event in North America, then the Cannes Film Festival is the most stylish event in Europe.

The annual festival, which kicked off on Wednesday night, previews films of all different genres, but the real thing to watch is the fashion. And let us tell you, it has not disappointed so far.

Blake Lively, Jessica Chastain and Anna Kendrick seem to have deemed it the year of the yellow dress, as all three ladies have stepped out in the bold hue. But the real winner of Cannes? Susan Sarandon, who walked the red carpet in a comfortable suit and flat shoes.
