CANNES RED CARPET

Madonna
Madonna shimmered in Chanel as she arrived—to a chorus of cheers from the assembled crowd—for a special screening of her documentary, I Am Because We Are at the Palais des Festivals. "It's an incredible opportunity to show this film here in Cannes," Madonna said when she took the stage to introduce her labor of love, a film about the plight of orphans in the African nation of Malawi. "I hope that all of you are as inspired by watching the film as I was by making it."
Penélope Cruz
The Spanish star arrived by train to promote her starring role in Woody Allen's new film, Vicky Cristina Barcelona.
Gwyneth Paltrow
Gwyneth Paltrow continued her reign as the leading lady of style on the red carpet. After making an appearance at the Chopard trophy presentation in a Grecian-inspired Lanvin dress, Paltrow made a quick change into a navy Chanel gown with a peekaboo plunging neckline for the Cannes premiere of Two Lovers.
Natalie Portman
Festival juror Natalie Portman made another stunning appearance on the red carpet, choosing an electric blue tiered ruffle cocktail dress from Lanvin and Tiffany & Co. diamond jewelry for the premiere of Le Silence de Lorna.
Angelina Jolie looked like an Earth mother-to-be at the premiere of Clint Eastwood's drama, Changeling. Calling herself a "very modern and outspoken woman" at the press conference earlier in the day, Jolie—who walked the red carpet with boyfriend Brad Pitt—credited her powerful performance in the film on her experiences as a mother to brood Maddox, Pax, Zahara and Shiloh
