Cannes is the most prestigious film festival in the world, attracting the crme de la crme of acting stars. With millions watching and the press ready pounce on any fashion faux-pas, deciding what to wear must be almost as unnerving as waiting for the box office figures.

Thankfully these stars at 62nd Cannes Film Festival have not disappointed gliding down the famous steps of the Palais des Festivals in exquisite long flowing gowns with dazzling jewellery to match.

Monica Bellucci and Sophie Marceau look equally ravishing in their red gowns as they saunter down the red carpet.
