Dior brought its 2011 Cruise collection to Shanghai over the weekend. And while Shanghai may not inspire images of leisurely days bathing in the tropics, you can always count on John Galliano to deliver a spectacular show and even more breathtaking clothes.

Many of our favorite style stars have been breaking out hits on the French Riviera this week, where they were first spotted at the Chanel Cruise 2011 show, and later in the week at the 63rd Annual Cannes Film Festival. Winners like Cate Blanchett, Carey Mulligan (no relation, I swear), Diane Kruger, and Elisa Sednaoui were obvious favorites. Back in New York, we couldn’t keep our eyes off of the young stunners at the Inaugural Junior Spring Benefit for Lincoln Center Institute at Private Park at Hudson, and sponsored by Valentino. Overall, a great week in style. Click on for a look at this week’s best dressed.

Last November 2009, uber luxury watchmaker Franck Muller held an historic event—the delivery of the first Franck Muller Aeternitas Mega Grande Sonnerie Westminster Carillon, the world’s most complicated wristwatch.

Salma Hayek is married to PPR head honcho François-Henri Pinault, so it really shouldn’t come as a surprise to see the leading actress hit red carpet premieres in any number of the luxury company’s many brands.

The fashion set had a well deserved break over the last month, but with Cruise shows happening all over the world and Cannes in its early stages, it looks like bags are packed and chicsters are on the road again.

Alas, we were not in St. Tropez to fete the Chanel 2011 Cruise Show, but we were feeling the spirit when browsing the countless photos of celebs and models that gathered in the French resort town.

There’s something about spring that’s got us in a liberty state of mind—Liberty of London, that is. And with today’s announcement about an upcoming LOL (no, we are not “laughing out loud”) menswear collection has us feeling the love.

Brooks Brothers is moving on up. Uptown, that is. The famed preppy retailer, perhaps best known for outfitting the blue blood New Englanders, has just signed a lease on Madison Avenue and 86th Street.
