DUBAI: Hollywood and Bollywood stars took to the renowned red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival for the opening ceremony Wednesday and the fashion did not disappoint.
Oscar-winning Iranian director Asghar Farhadi and French-American actress Lily-Rose Depp declared the festival officially open.
Farhadi told a glittering ceremony in the southern French resort that movie-lovers had “12 days to discover films that make you think about the human condition today. Welcome to the 70th Cannes festival.”
From Indian actress Malika Sherawat to Hollywood’s Julianne Moore, the ladies of the red carpet were out in full force, wearing a glittering array of ballgowns.

Susan Sarandon wore a deep plunging black velvet gown with oversized sunglasses, while Julianne Moore was resplendent in red feathers. Chinese actress Fan Bingbing, who is also on the jury, wore a sweeping duck-egg blue dress with a built-in cloak.
