Yahoo News These are the best-dressed stars at the 75th Cannes Film Festival
The 75th Cannes Film Festival has begun, with stars from every corner of the world descending on the red carpet at the Palais de Festivals on Tuesday 17 May.
A raft of star-studded premieres for upcoming films are set to take place over the next 11 days of the festival, including Top Gun: Maverick, starring Tom Cruise who is returning to the festival for the first time in 30 years, and the biopic Elvis starring Austin Butler.
The event was cancelled in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic. It went ahead in 2021, but was subject to strict health restrictions – however, this year’s opening ceremony returned to its full glamorous glory once again.
Hollywood A-listers including Lashana Lynch, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Eva Longoria and Forest Whittaker were photographed on the red carpet.
These are the best looks from the 75th Cannes Film Festival red carpet:
Eva Longoria
The Desperate Housewives actor stepped out in front of the cameras wearing a sheer black Alberta Ferretti ruffled gown with thin straps, embellished with sequins.
She accessorised with a diamond choker and diamond rings by Chopard.
Julianne Moore
Julianne Moore, who was previously named Best Actress at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival, wore a plunging black gown with a drop waist and a ballgown skirt by Bottega Veneta.
Around her neck, she wore an emerald and diamond collar necklace and a matching ring by Bulgari.
Tallia Storm
British singer-songwriter Tallia Storm, who previously appeared on The X Factor, took to the red carpet in a swirl of sorbet colours in a dress by Yanina Couture.
The straight-off-the-runway gown featured bright yellow structured sleeves, with a big pink bow and a cornflower blue and yellow striped skirt.
Deepika Padukone
One of the highest paid female actors in India, Deepika Padukone championed her countrymen by choosing to wear a glittering sari by Indian fashion designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee.

Lori Harvey
Model Lori Harvey donned a canary-yellow strapless ballgown that featured a cinched bodice and a full-tiered skirt, with gold pumps.

Katherine Langford
Australian actor Katherine Langford, best known for her role as Hannah Baker in Netflix’s 13 Reasons Why, stunned on the red carpet wearing a silver Prada gown encursted with sequins.

Rebecca Hall
English actor Rebecca Hall, who just made her directorial debut with her 2021 film Passing, burst onto the red carpet in a colourful red and pink Gucci gown with ruffled sleeves and a starburst of rhinestones emanating from the middle of the dress.
She completed the vivd look with statement earrings and a bright red lip to match the gown.
Noomi Rapace
The original Girl With The Dragon Tattoo actor cut a classic figure at the opening ceremony of the film festival, wearing an off-the-shoulder cream column gown by Christian Dior Couture.
Rapace beamed on the red carpet as she accessorised her look with pink gemstone drop earrings and a diamond bracelet.
