Red carpet glamour at Cannes

Kruger rocked the red carpet

Diane Kruger and Eva Longoria fought off stiff competition on the red carpet in Cannes yesterday, but reigned victorious in two frothy concoctions.

The actresses donned high-impact evening gowns for the premiere of Moonrise Kingdom by Wes Anderson yesterday.

Style queen Kruger wore a one-shouldered mint Giambattista Valli haute couture silk gown, which featured a long swathe of floaty material and a full layered skirt.

She balanced the floatiness of the dress with a chic high bun and simple diamond accessories.

Longoria favoured a mermaid-style Marchesa dress in palest pink and silver, which fit closely at the knee, kicking out into a full, feathered skirt.

It featured intricate silver and diamante detailing and a large transparent cutaway section on the back.

Freida Pinto went for a quirkier look in a Michael Angel pastel pink strapless number, which featured a multi-coloured bodice and a thigh-high split. An unusual choice for the Slumdog Millionaire star, but it certainly worked out for her.

Jessica Chastain was the picture of simplicity in a white Alexander McQueen low-cut gown, but the frock was a little underwhelming in comparison to the other red-carpet show stoppers.

Lana Del Rey looked the picture of Hollywood glamour in a black Alberta Ferretti dress which had layers of black tulle decorating one side of the skirt. Her trademark long locks were expertly styled into cascading waves.

Jane Fona looked fantastic in a rose gold Atelier Versace form-fitting number, which had a bodycon style with a pleated skirt.

Tilda Swinton wore a custom-made Haider Ackermann gown with a pleated, fanned bodice, which she paired with nude heels.
