The bold and the beautiful: Stars shine at Cannes

It wouldn't be Cannes without a ballgown, a bright colour, and a bauble or two.

Cannes is widely considered to be the biggest fashion event of the season.

A far departure from the usual slinky gowns, and subtle jewels, Cannes is all about glamour, glamour, glamour โ€“ and nothing less.

From big gowns, to even bigger diamonds, the actresses, models and musicians that parade down the red carpet arenโ€™t there to see movies, or support actors; theyโ€™re there to be seen and to look good doing it.

And seen they were, in fluorescent yellow or electric blue, the stars of the red carpet definitely stood out.

Take a look at Cannesโ€™ best โ€“ and biggest.

Not afraid to put her best foot forward โ€“ or her entire leg โ€“ model Natasha Poly certainly stood out in her Atelier Versace โ€ฆ โ€œgownโ€?

Canโ€™t decide between leather pants and a dress? Take your cue from Sophie Marceau.

Looking like an ethereal holographic bubble, Cate Blanchettโ€™s statuesque frame carried this Giles ballgown perfectly.

Sheโ€™s 77? Jane Fonda wowed the crowds in a Atelier Versace electric blue gown with cut outsโ€ฆ seriously, 77?!

Whilst the fairy tale Princess look might have been a good idea, Fan Bingbing slightly misses the mark here. Her dress overwhelms her frame โ€“ plus the headband is overkill.

Despite the bad reviews, Naomi Watts looked elegant in her Armani tiered dress. And no, there werenโ€™t any pictures of her not being flanked by her handsome co-starsโ€ฆ well, who could blame her.

Going for a โ€˜circusโ€™ theme, Sienna Miller wore this Valentino Couture dress with kite appliquรฉs.

Diane Kruger shimmered in this pale blue Prada gown.

In her second red carpet appearance, Natasha Poly didnโ€™t appear to be slowing down. Her gold Michael Kors gown, with snake necklace screamed โ€˜old school glamourโ€™.

Fahriye Evcen embraced the cut out trend, with her billow-y sleeves.

Li Bingbingโ€™s glittery gown certainly caught out attention.

Hofit Golan chose this black velvet/tulle/netting confection.

Sonam Kapoorโ€™s hourglass gown with exaggerated hips was dramatic, to say the least.

In yet another embellished gown, Li Bingbing went for a dress reminiscent of a bridal gown.

Going for her favourite silhouette, the mermaid, Eva Longoria slightly missed it here. The dress is too big, and swamps her tiny frame.

Red dress, red shoes, red carpet, Erin Oโ€™Connor was a bit of an eyesore in her Ralph & Russo gown.

Looking every inch the movie star she is, Charlize Theron glowed in her bright yellow Christian Dior.
