Beyoncé and Rent the Runway have teamed up! In celebration of her Mrs. Carter Show World Tour, Queen B has picked out some sparkly, fun numbers, which I predict will rent out almost as fast as her shows sell out.

And to go underneath it? Here’s one idea from actress Jessica Chastain at Cannes. I’m sure this wasn’t something Elizabeth Taylor paired with her first wedding dress, which is now up for auction.

Speaking of sparkly numbers, check out one of the world’s largest colorless diamonds, bought at auction by Harry Winston. It’s 101.73 carats and was purchased for $26.7 million.

And while that diamond is certainly impressive, these 43 equally famous, drool-worthy jewels are nothing to sneeze at.

Now, imagine if any of these were (gasp!) stolen. Turns out that not one but TWO jewelry heists took place at Cannes this year. Find out what went missing.

Onto less glamorous (and completely legal) news: someone paid $36,000 for Luke Skywalker’s dirty Levi’s.

First Virgin Airlines partners with Vivienne Westwood to redesign the airlines’ flight attendant uniforms. Now other airlines are following “suit.” Check out which airline has tapped which designer for their new uniforms.

Fashion Shows

Many people visit Cannes not just for the films and the parties, but also for the Resort Wear fashion shows. See what designers like Oscar de la Renta and Christian Dior are cooking up for vacation duds.

And while we’re in Cannes, see what the stars wore in this red carpet recap.

Meanwhile, across the ocean in New York City, Parsons School of Design held its annual fashion show. Peruse all the looks here.
