Cannes Film Festival is the most talked about extravaganza of movies. It brings big names in the world of movies on one platform. Getting picked for Cannes is just as prestigious as bagging a BAFTA or an Oscar. Many movies that premiere at the festival in the South of France are considered to be Oscar front-runners.
But movies are not all this festival is all about. The second reason Cannes manages to grab attention is the fashion on the red carpet. Ladies come prepared with an arsenal of designer dresses and accessories.
The year 2016 is no different. The festival kicked off on May 11. Let's take a look at who wore what!
1. Anna Kendrick and Justin Timberlake

Promoting their new movie with DreamWorks Animations, Trolls, Justin Timberlake and Anna Kendrick brought the old Hollywood glamour to the red carpet.
Anna Kendrick opted for a mustard yellow gown by Stella McCartney. With her hair softly swept to one shoulder and Justin Timberlake by her side, the lady looked elegant! (Getty)
2. Blake Lively

Blake Lively, pregnant with her second child with Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds, showed how to do maternity in style. For the morning photocall for her film Cafe Society, Lively chose a red jumpsuit by Juan Carlos Obando. Come evening, for the opening ceremony, she picked up a shimmering Atelier Versace gown with a patchwork of sheer panels. The best transition of the day from morning to the evening! (Getty)
3. Eva Longoria

L'Oreal brand ambassador and Cannes regular Eva Longoria opted for a bodysuit in mesh paired with a white figure hugging skirt. Eva kept the look simple and let the Pamela Roland dress to do all the talking. (Getty)
4. Gael Garcia Bernal

Taking a liberty here because we are still not over his Golden Globe-winning performance in Mozart in a Jungle. Gael Garcia Bernal had to be in our list. Look at that carefree smile! (AFP)
5. Julianne Moore

Ummm, what is going on? We are not amused by the serpent combination of the dress by Givenchy. Julianne Moore is a Cannes regular and we have seen her nail the looks time and again with Chanel, Gucci, and Givenchy too. But this is not working. Nope. (Getty)
6. Kirsten Dunst

Kirsten Dunst is part of Cannes 2016 jury and she is embracing the French style with such ease. Her day started with yellow Dior number. The soft cut of the fabric got an edge with a small gold belt around the waist. The plus point of the dress you ask? POCKETS!
In the evening for the opening ceremony, the 'Fargo' actress chose breezy Gucci number in pink. She has set the bar high. Let's hope she follows through the festival. (Getty)
7. Kristen Stewart

Kristen Stewart is a Cannes darling. She has two movies premiering at the festival this year. 'Cafe Society' and 'Personal Shopper.' Stewart is also the new Chanel darling and she is showing that off from morning to the evening by wearing the edgy numbers from the latest collections by Karl Lagerfeld. We are swooning here! (Getty)
8. Mallika Sherawat

The only Indian on the red carpet of Cannes 2016 so far was Mallika Sherawat. She chose Georges Hobeika studded gown for the opening ceremony of the festival. (Getty)
