"  Blake Lively attended the premiere of new movie Mr. Turner at the Cannes Film Festival yesterday, and set the bar for red carpet glamour pretty darn high. I do not use the phrase &amp;quot;disco mermaid&amp;quot; lightly, after all. Blake wore a lacy couture Chanel gown featuring lots of irridescent sequins and paillettes detailing the bustline, pockets, and hem. The gown also featured a belted &amp;quot;illusion waistline,&amp;quot; meaning her actual, and corseted, waist, looked extra skinny. How do you feel about the proportions on show here? It&amp;#039;s the sort of ensemble that The Little Mermaid Ariel&amp;#039;s designer-obsessed second cousin would be wearing right now if she&amp;#039;d also made a deal with a sea witch for legs and a Hollywood career. (Let&amp;#039;s be honest, the effect would be a lot less glamorous if Blake had an actual mermaid&amp;#039;s tail and then had to drag herself along the carpet, leaving behind a a fishy odor and trail of damp seaweed.) And despite it looking like she would trip over her pale mint green scarf at one point, Blake made it into the screening without doing a J.Law. She did make this face at one point though, so it wasn&amp;#039;t quite all high-fashion glamour. Follow Alex on  Twitter. Photo credit: Getty Images "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
