Sofia Coppola

Emma Watson and The Bling Ring cast premiered their film at the Cannes Film Festival in the South of France today. Emma wore a red Christopher Kane ensemble to the photocall for the film earlier in the day, but changed into a Chanel Couture black and white gown for the red carpet bash. She also donned a simple black dress when she attended The Bling Ring press conference. Emma was joined at all of the events by her costars costars Claire Julien, Katie Chang, and Taissa Farmiga and director Sofia Coppola. The film will premiere at the festival today, but won't hit US theaters until June 14. Tonight's event will be an important screening for Sofia, who was famously booed at the festival in 2006 after she premiered Marie Antoinette.

Emma, Sofia, and their crew are hardly the only stars who are promoting their new flicks at the festival. Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan kicked off the weeklong event yesterday when they screened The Great Gatsby at the Cannes Film Festival 2013 opening ceremony. Other stars like Julianne Moore and judge Nicole Kidman also walked the red carpet at the opening bash — be sure to check out all the stars at the Cannes Film Festival!

Happy birthday, Sofia Coppola! The director, who turns 42 today, has been working on her latest film, The Bling Ring (out June 14). It stars Emma Watson as the latest — and, arguably, least likeable — Sofia Coppola heroine. And the group is an elite one, as Sofia has only directed five full-length feature films: The Virgin Suicides, Lost in Translation, Marie Antoinette, Somewhere, and now, The Bling Ring. Besides dreamy atmospheric shots and an emphasis on music, Sofia's films are known for exploring the expectations, complexities, and trials of growing up as a girl and what it means to be a woman. Click through for some of the most poignant lines from Sofia-directed films on female adolescence, motherhood, and everything in between.

Miley Cyrus and Christina Ricci mingled with a fashionable crowd when they attended the Marc Jacobs Fall 2013 show yesterday. Marc's show taking place at the end of Fashion Week wasn't intentional — it was originally scheduled for Monday, but was moved due to delivery delays caused by snowstorm Nemo. Both Miley and Christina showed off their midriffs in belly-baring Marc Jacobs ensembles. Meanwhile, Marc Jacobs's muse Sofia Coppola showed her support for her longtime friend when she dropped by in one of his striped t-shirts. Fashion Week fixture Rachel Zoe also made an appearance in a dramatic blue and white striped frock.

Miley Cyrus kept herself busy during New York Fashion Week, visiting shows for Marchesa and Rachel Zoe as well as hosting a party for Cosmopolitan magazine. Miley isn't just at the shows to make appearances — she might be checking out gowns for her upcoming wedding to Liam Hemsworth. Miley said that Marchesa is "definitely" a possibility for her wedding dress, but noted that she has "so many options" at this point.

Alexa Chung, Sofia Coppola, and Clemence Poesy were among those who braved the rain Monday night to fete Acne Paper's Issue 14. Held at New York's storied Four Seasons Restaurant, the champagne-filled soiree featured live jazz from the Blue Velvet quintet, while music stands placed around the room showcased copies of the paper. At 272 pages, it's the magazine's biggest issue yet, and also the first time it's been entirely dedicated to a single locale. "We could have chosen London, Paris, Berlin, or any other city of cosmopolitan importance, but we took Manhattan," editor in chief Thomas Persson explained. "During our many visits to the Big Apple we have had the great fortune of befriending a number of wonderful people who have only taken a keen interest in our publication but who have also helped shape it." Perhaps some of those friends were also in attendance — we spied fashion vets Simon Doonan, Lily Donaldson, Hanne Gaby Odiele, Olivier Theyskens, and Monique Pean all there and having a pretty grand time. An inside look at all the fun, here.

From satchels, to clutches, to fringed and textured numbers, celebrities around the globe have been spotted toting the chicest sunny-yellow bags. Krysten Ritter paired her floral Dolce & Gabbana dress and ankle-strap espadrilles with a mini yellow bag in Las Vegas, Michelle Monaghan worked printed Tucker pants with a sunny Coach tote in LA, while Serinda Swan styled her studded Zara jacket with a croc-embossed YSL clutch in Beverly Hills.

Sofia Coppola's style cred is no secret: not only is the revered director best friends with Marc Jacobs, but she also married in knee-length Alaia, lensed the Marni for H&M campaign, and collaborated on a collection for Louis Vuitton — and that's all just within the last year. So, in honor of our favorite ankle-strap-wearing, double-cuff-sporting, rock-star-marrying filmmaker's May 14 birthday, here's a look back at some of her chicest moments — from the early '90s to today.

>> The red carpet is only half the style story on Oscar night; from the Vanity Fair party to the Annual Elton John AIDS Foundation viewing party, the evening is so jam-packed with events that the potential for chicness is nearly endless. This year, the parties saw everyone from models (Karolina Kurkova, Heidi Klum, Alessandra Ambrosio) to designers (Tom Ford, Tory Burch, Carolina Herrera) to muses (Sofia Coppola, Claire Danes, Dita Von Teese) — and the ensembles on display were just as gorgeous as those of the main event.
