The 69th Cannes Film Festival: Red Carpet

Oh how I do love the Cannes Film Festival. Every year, anyone who's anyone descends upon the south of France complete with make up artist, stylist, camera crews and more in tow. With the beautiful French Riviera location, luxury hotels, massive yachts and of course, the red carpet, its quite easy to forget that the whole point of the Cannes Film Festival is to actually watch up and coming movies. But with stars like Blake Lively, George Clooney, Julia Roberts and Eva Longoria stalking the red carpet it's easy to get carried away with the red carpet action.

This year we have seen some beautiful gowns grace the red carpet. From Blake Lively's stunning nude Versace dress and her giant Cinderella-esque blue gown, to Kristen Stewart's Chanel tweed outfit, there have been some great fashion moments. Both Stewart and Julia Roberts who attended the festivals 'Money Monster' premiere, opted for comfort instead of glamour, posing for pictures barefoot. Victoria Beckham and best friend Eva Longoria had a great time catching up before jetting out of Cannes on their private planes, while Anna Kendrick opted for a bright yellow gown for her new movie with Justin Timberlake. Yellow was also worn by the beautiful Christina Hendricks and Amal Clooney, who wore an a-symmetric Versace gown while accompanying her husband to the festival.

Cannes always draws in the rich, famous and beautiful, with no festival complete without at least one appearance from Aishwarya Rai. The Indian actress dazzled on the red carpet in a draped gold gown complete with beautifully embellished sleeves, before donning a bright red gown for a photo-call the next day. Cheryl also made her yearly Cannes appearance as a Loreal ambassador, in a printed pink Naeem Khan show stopper, while fellow Lorealista Doutzen Kroes opted for a sexy black number. Kendall Jenner was in town for the Magnum party as was Bella Hadid who looked sensational with her hair slicked back in a gold Roberto Cavalli dress by Peter Dundas. Kirsten Dunst opted for a floral pink gown, similar to Cheryl, whereas Julianne Moore and Jodie Foster both went for simple yet striking looks.

With the glamorous Amfar gala set to draw in a host of models and fashion royalty, we will be seeing a lot more wonderful red carpet moments from the French Rivera over the next week. Keep checking back to theFASHIONbox and our social media pages for all the Cannes action.
