The 66th Cannes Film Festival certainly never lacked in style. Fancy yachts, gourmet food, bottomless wines, and an army of fashionable actresses wearing their cutest festival frocks. People involved seem to be having the time of their lives!

But aside from partying and mingling, many celebs were busy promoting their films. Ahna O’Reilly was among them.

I didn’t love Elizabeth Leefolt’s character in the 2011 movie The Help, but I admired her ’60s style. The array of floral dresses she wore gave me endless ’60s fashion fantasies.

In real life, Ahna O’Reilly’s fashion sense could easily rival her character, Elizabeth Leefolt.

Ahna wore a swoon-worthy Georges Hobeika dress on the seventh day of the festival. The dress — with its sheer material, sequin adornment, appliqués, and a full floral skirt — looks like one a fairy tale princess would wear. This is taking spring to the next level!

This Georges Hobeika dress is from the designer’s Spring/Summer 2013 collection. Ahna did a great job picking it from the dresses in this collection.

I think she looked divine in it. The dress suited her feminine features. The low-rise bun was also a nice touch. It allowed the dress to shine more. Like Ahna, we, too, are smitten by ethereal floral dresses.
