As the 48-year-old actress sashayed up the red-carpeted stairs at the screening of her film Money Monster, she was revealed to be barefoot beneath the hem of her black Armani gown. It was infinitely more impactful than being barefoot in the park - not only are heels considered de rigueur at events so glamorous as this, Cannes was reported to controversially have banned flats on the red carpet last year.
Several women, including producer Valeria Richter, complained last year that they were stopped for not wearing heels, prompting festival director Thierry Fremaux to tell news agency AFP: "We apologise. There was perhaps a small moment of over-zealousness."
Julia Roberts, however, sailed right up and through.

The actress, who co-stars with George Clooney in the Jodi Foster-directed Money Monster, reportedly arrived wearing black peep-toes and ditched the heels on the red carpet. She had them back on while exiting the screening with co-star Dominic West.
