Elle Fanning was the belle of the ball on the Cannes red carpet - plus 11 more breathtaking gowns

On 23 May 2017 filmmakers, celebs and A-listers walked the red carpet at Cannes for the festival's 70th Anniversary Celebration.

Elle Fanning won the red carpet by a mile in a strappy embellished Christian Dior dress reminiscent of a Monet painting.

Absolutely out of this world.
