Don't be sad --there is a long and storied history of actresses, starlets and many other women at Cannes wearing quite revealing dresses often (as is the case with the Cavalli that Gong Li is wearing) right from the designer's showroom.

A different angle of the Shu Qi dress plus Gong Li and Maggie Cheung.







Also, it might have been cold on the Mediterranean coast--here she is wrapped in a tablecloth

Oh sure, rub it in!



If could actually be a dress for just five minute in my life...
