Tilda Swinton Conquers both the Screen and Red Carpet at Cannes

Tilda Swinton, actress and style maven, is a front-runner for top honors at this year's Cannes Film Festival for her role in We Need to Talk About Kevin. While we love nothing better than a thought-provoking film, what we're really excited about was her red-carpet look--a jewel-toned draped gown with a halter top by Belgian designer Haider Ackermann (who is a possible replacement for John Galliano at Dior, btw).

Her clutch was Olympia Le-Tan, and--get this--looked just like the cover of the children's book Ant and Bee . Swinton, known for eschewing typical princess fare for fashion-forward avant-garde designers like Viktor and Rolf and Ann Demeulemeester, blew our minds earlier this year when she showed up on the Golden Globes red carpet in a spring look from the critically acclaimed (and seriously drool-worthy) spring collection from Raf Simons for Jil Sander. We salute you, Tilda!
