Cannes Film Festival 2012 most stylish yet? Jean Paul Gaultier rumored to be on jury

While fashionistas may usually spend more time eyeing up red carpet creations at the Cannes Film Festival, they may have another excuse to tune in this year as French designer Jean Paul Gaultier is rumored to be a member of the jury.Word got around at a press conference announcing the official selection of movies in competition for this years edition, which kicks off May 16, although festival president Gilles Jacob remained tight-lipped.
I cant confirm it, but I am not denying it either, Jacob told WWD April 19.
Italian director Nanni Moretti is chair of the jury for Cannes 2012, with the rest of the members to be announced early next week.
Gaultier could bring a wealth of movie experience to the panel as he has designed costumes for an array of pictures, most famously Luc Bessons 1997 sci-fi adventure The Fifth Element.
Meanwhile, fashion fans can look forward to seeing some of their favorite style icons on the red carpet as Nicole Kidman will attend for The Paperboy, Kirsten Dunst and Kristen Stewart for On The Road and Jessica Chastain and Mia Wasikowska for Lawless.
