Yesterday we took a look at some of the best make-up and hair styles at the Academy Awards, and today with just 48 hours before the Cannes Film Festival opens, we’re rounding up the outfits that got the flash bulbs popping at last year’s event. A year is a long time in fashion, but the looks we’ve chosen reflect current trends for Spring/Summer 2010: from Zoe’s Saldana take on sensual nude tones to Cecile Cassel’s best-dressed city shorts ensemble. It all goes to show – the stars proved that even if they’re not winning awards, they can still set the style agenda.  And with our purse-friendly wardrobe selection, you can be red carpet-worthy without employing a celebrity stylist.
