Katrina Kaif
Also known as the new kid on the L’Oreal block, Katrina Kaif sported an Oscar de la Renta black rose macramé gown with flower and ostrich feather embroidery. She finished off with side swept flaming red hair and Chopard diamond drop earrings.
Lupita Nyong'o
Lupita has had a long love affair with colour, and that trend continued tonight with this Gucci jade-green chiffon plisse gown with embroidered crystals and blush silk flowers.
Natalie Portman
Natalie’s fire engine red sweetheart neckline column gown is from Dior. The look is sleek, modern and feminine; everything we expect from the brand. De Grisogono earrings helped her enhance the outfit.
Naomi Watts
Naomi owned the red carpet in this feathery confection from Elie Saab. She upped her game with a perplexingly heavy necklace, bringing attention to her decolletage.
Fan Bingbing
Fan Bingbing returned to Cannes with a bang in a Ralph & Russo Couture gown. We heart the blossoming scene sprinkled with peacocks.
Jake Gyllenhaal
Jake Gyllenhall looked every bit of a dapper gentleman, dressed in a crisp black tuxedo with a black bow tie. He sported a L.U.C 1937 Classic timepiece. Brownie points for that well-maintained scruff.
Julianne Moore
Julianne Moore stuck to her favourite dark colour palette. This Armani Privé gown was embellished with pailettes and black ostrich feathers. She topped the look with confidence, slick hair and breathtaking Chopard earrings.
Doutzen Kroes
Looking very va va voom in Atelier Versace, Doutzen Kroes wore a sleek milky white gown, spliced with cut-outs and a thigh-high slit to enhance her sex appeal.
Sienna Miller
Emanating a sense of understated elegance, Sienna glided down the red carpet wearing a blue Lanvin gown, artfully and elegantly gathered at one side with a contrasting black bow, and styled with Atelier Swarovski earrings.
