The Cannes Film Festival kicked off on Tuesday, May 8, with an inaugural red carpet awash with fairytale ensembles. With a few eccentric exceptions, the guests chose long, sophisticated dresses in black, red or pastel tones, in some cases with a side split or embroidery and sequins to add even more glamor. Let’s take a look at the first red carpet of French cinema’s biggest event of the year.
