Cannes Line-Up: Politics on the carpet

Lea Seydoux

Lea Seydoux flamed up her look in this intense emerald green Prada gown. The deep plunging neckline complemented the crystal detailing. Her mesmerizing look complete with matching emerald jewels made it our red carpet winner.

Salma Hayek

Salma Hayek unleashed the power of pink in this Saint Laurent ensemble. The fitted bodice and billowing chiffon skirt grabbed eyeballs along with her board that read #bring back our girls. This was with reference to the 300 Nigerian school girls who were abducted by the Nigerian extremist group Boko Haram.

Jessica Chastain

Jessica Chastain won us over in this electric blue Atelier Versace gown. She let the dress take centre stage with minimal jewellery and a bright lip stain.

Jennifer Lawrence

Cutting through all the gowns, here is Jennifer Lawrence in an extremely young ensemble from Dior. The two-piece outfit featuring an A-line crop top and A-line skirt was sharp yet bouncy. We love her wavy bob, metallic Louboutins and everything else that made this look pop.

Freida Pinto

Freida Pinto worked this Michael Kors nude tulle gown embellished with sequins which slowly moved into feathers. She perked up the look with glossy retro waves and a bold red lip.
