Cannes Film Festival: 30 gorgeous red carpet dresses you thought you forgot

Va va voom

Zhang Ziyi's Stéphane Rolland circa 2014 bears an unexpected timelessness that is as relevant today, as it would be for long after
Angelina Jolie's Emanuel Ungaro dress to the 2007 ceremony is so iconic, it's a suggested search on Google
Cate Blanchett hardly ever gets it wrong. Her 2010 Alexander McQueen is prime example
Nicole Kidman peeled this Armani Privé straight off the designer's spring 2014 runway
Usually, Dita Von Teese's Ulyana Sergeenko dress would be too pin-up for our taste, but she carries it beautifully
Marion Cotillard in Raf Simon's Dior. Is there anything else to say, really?
Also in Dior is Natalie Portman, who lets her crimson do the talking
Uma Thurman wears a lot of white on the red carpet. This Marchesa will go down as one of her best
When you have a bod like Liu Wen, everything looks good on, but the embellishment in the Ralph & Russo is to die for
Beyonce, who recently wore the very same Gucci dress has nothing on Lupita Nyong'o. Sorry, Beyhives
Blake Lively was pregnant in this Vivienne Westwood Couture gown. We will never eat again
Vanessa Paradis' Chanel marries gothic undertones with Mediterranean flair like it's salt and pepper
The rich velvet and leather Givenchy plays up a brilliant contrast against Julianne Moore's pale complexion
Freida Pinto's Oscar de la Renta is still one of her most iconic looks to date. Now that's a shade of salmon pink we can get behind
Diane Kruger, may we please borrow your Prada for the day?
Natasha Poly's Prada looks like it weighs a ton. We think it might be one of her secrets to getting ab fab
Karlie Kloss's pin game is so strong, it almost subtracted the brilliance that is her Louis Vuitton. Almost
Kirsten Dunst's Valentino is truly one of a kind — the skirt looks like foil from afar, but is actually dressed in silver and gold embroidered flowers upon closer inspection
The secret to success of a Cannes debut is in Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's Alexandre Vauthier: Wear red
A red dress is easy. Red eyeshadow however, is a trend we suspect only the likes of Kirsten Stewart, seen here in Chanel, can pull off. Practice caution
Old Hollywood is the way to go at Cannes, and Jessica Chastain's Armani Privé is as classic as it comes
Fan Bing Bing, a longtime fan of Ralph & Russo, killed it in this custom couture. The Marchesa she wore that same week however, was a hot mess
We applaud anyone who colours outside the lines at Cannes, so Liya Kebede gets a standing ovation for her Proenza Schouler
Alessandra Ambrosio, dripping diamonds and crystals in Cartier and Zuhair Murad respectively, is testament to how unfair life can be
Take over the men's department a la Charlize Theron and adopt a Dior tuxedo for black tie
Elle Fanning couldn't make it to prom, so her date flew to Cannes to be with her. Typical teen stuff, right. Oh and she's wearing Valentino, of course
If our version of heaven existed, Chanel Iman would be there wearing this Zuhair Murad gown for all eternity
This Marchesa has been diagnosed with split personality; it's classy on the right, sultry on the left. And in the centre, a stunning Naomi Watts
Jourdan Dunn didn't shy away from her inner princess in this Ralph & Russo, and she's all the better for it
Model Daria Strokous' dreamy beaded Zuhair Murad sums up the red carpet activity at Cannes
