The 69th annual Cannes Film Festival kicked off in glorious style on Wednesday evening.
Hollywood
stars landed on the prestigious red carpet at the Palais des Festivals
et des Congrès in the French Riviera-based town for the opening
ceremony, a screening of Woody Allen's film Cafe Society.
Leading
the glamour on the first night were the likes of actresses Naomi Watts
and Julianne Moore, as well as Cafe Society's star Blake Lively who all
paved the way for the other stars who arrived on the crimson runway in
their well-dressed droves.
The sparkling number in a nude hue skimmed over the actress' stunning figure, with her small bump on show.
The
glittering dress flowed out into a dramatic train which swept along the
red carpet, with the slightly sheer chiffon skirt flashing a hint of
leg. Style icon Blake added some statement jewels, adorning her hands
with diamond rings.
She kept her hair simple, tossing her blonde locks over one shoulder while she added a pop of colour with a bold pink lip.
Looking
absolutely drop-dead gorgeous in pale lilac, Australian star Naomi, 47,
cut a divine figure in a strapless column dress that clung nearly to her
slender curves, the fabric covered in delicate mirror-like
embellishments.
The
chiffon-style material was slightly layered all the way down the skirt,
which hit the floor, disguising her no doubt flawless choice of
footwear.
Naomi
completed her ravishing look with a heavily-adorned necklace on her
bare decolletage, and little else, her pale golden locks coiffed to
perfection in a wavy style bouncing just above her shoulders.
Turning on
the charm, as she always does, was Julianne, who stunned in an intricate
black gothic number. The Oscar-winning star, 55, beamed for the
hundreds of tuxedo-clad photographers along the red carpet, showing off
her beautiful gown for all to see.
The
weighty number was covered with silver and gold shimmering whirls,
going up to her chest into the shape of two cobras covering her chest
over the incredibly sheer fabric that made up the base of the dress.
The
red-haired superstar wore her russet mane slicked back into a chic,
straight 'do, falling behind her, and her make-up was simple, showing
off her ageless natural beauty.
Around her
trim waistline was a large obi-style belt, topping off a beautiful
pristine white skirt with a long train at the back, only emphasising her
enviable physique more.
Blake
arrived with Cafe Society's director Woody Allen, 80, and the rest of
his cast for his 49th movie, including a glam Kristen Stewart.
Kristen
stuck to her typically edgy sense of style in a head-turning look, with
her bold dress featuring an almost completely sheer top.
Strategically
placed pockets and seams preserved some of her modesty under the
camera's glare. The floaty black shirt-style top flowed down in a full
skirt, adorned with a monochrome print with studded detail.
Platinum blonde Kristen accessorised with a pair of towering black satin Louboutin heels and added a bold red lip.
Jessica Chastain stood out in a bright yellow number as she took her turn in front of the cameras on the vast red carpet.
The
Jurassic World star showed off her curves in the stunning strapless
number, accessorised with a sparkling diamond leaf necklace.
The perfectly fitted dress hugged every single curve as the beautiful actress turned to pose for the cameras.
Adding
a touch of angelic style to proceedings, 41-year-old Eva Longoria
stunned in a white and pale gold dress that showed off her petite curves
with ease.
Appearing as
two separates - a skirt and a top - the intricately beaded number
covered her trim waistline and fell down her arms in long sleeves.
Also
arriving and leaving a seriously stylish lasting impression was fashion
designer and Eva's best pal Victoria Beckham, who shunned a dress in
favour of a snug black look of a top and trousers.
The
42-year-old showed off her slender form in the strapless bustier, which
included a slight sweetheart neckline - showing off her cleavage -
which a white stripe across the top.
She
teamed this lingerie-inspired piece with high-waisted trousers -
complete with a line of buttons, adding a touch of masculinity to the
look - that fell down her legs in a straight style.
A pair of
pointed court shoes added height to her look, as did her back-combed
brunette mane, which was fixed up at the back of her neck with a slight
lift at the crown.
And
of course, there was the model contingent making their elegant journeys
down the red carpet, with supermodel stunner Bella Hadid leading the
leggy pack.
Following
in her glorious wake were the likes of Doutzen Kroes and Lily
Donaldson, the two ladies cutting flawless figures in black, sweeping
gowns.
Lily flashed the flesh in a daring black dress, with a plunging neckline that barely covered her assets.
The
blonde model's racy dress flowed into a floor-length skirt with a
subtle shimmering print, while she accessorised with an on-trend choker
necklace.
She added to the goth vibe with a deep red lip, while her long locks were styled into an oh-so-chic messy plait.
