Kristen Stewart Cannes

It's a look that's quite unlike her own

In a year when the #MeToo movement has dominated the headlines, the organisers clearly felt the need to make a stronger gesture towards women

Rounding off the favourites were Asghar Farhadi's The Salesman, a taut moral drama by the Iranian director of the Oscar-winning A Separation, and Paul Verhoeven's rape revenge fantasy Elle starring Isabelle Huppert

The film revolves around a ghost story that takes place in the fashion underworld of Paris. Kristen plays a personal shopper who communicates with spirits

The Cannes Film Festival, which began on May 11, has already seen major stars such as George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Blake Lively and Kristen Stewart attend, as well as L'Oreal ambassadors Julianne Moore, Eva Longoria and Naomi Watts

"It's like the most gnarly popularity contest in the world," said Kristen Stewart, whose relationship with Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson attracted intense media attention. "You take high school and make it like in the real world - it amplifies everything, it's pretty intense," she said

The Cannes red carpet was always going to be starry for the opening of the film festival, but this year there seemed to be more celebrities on the French Riviera than in Tinseltown

Victoria Beckham, Eva Longoria, Jessica Chastain, Justin Timberlake, Julianne Moore and Naomi Watts also set cameras flashing before they sat down to enjoy Woody Allen's third film which opened the 12-day festival

"I get off the plane (at Cannes) and I'm escorted instantly to interviews. I do wall-to-wall interviews until I leave. I can do as many as 100 journalists a day," said Woody Allen

In From the Land of the Moon, set just after World War II, Marion stars as a woman caught in an unhappy marriage who falls in love again. She also stars in It's Only the End of the World by French Canadian director Xavier Dolan
