Cannes' showstoppers

Out of fashion ideas? Why not visit the French Riviera for inspiration. The venue for the ongoing 62nd Cannes Film Festival was alive with celebs and guests clad in eye-popping outfits and accessories.

Our own Aishwarya Rai Bachchan looked like a million bucks in an off-shoulder gown in pale lavender with a sparkling clutch to match.

Want to make a lasting impression? Why not wear pearls. We mean, really wear them.

Don't have a necklace worth the red carpet? Do like former Former Miss France Cindy Fabre. She makes ingenious use of this chunky halterneck outfit which doubles as a chocker. Dig the chandelier earrings too.

Body art can always be played to great advantage. Just make sure it's an interesting one like this tattoo.

We spotted this dizzy pair of heels during the opening night of the event. Just make sure you have a strong pair of arms to guide you.

Accessories were plenty but the ones that caught our eye is this cute dog-shaped hand bag.

The stole makes a comeback. Fish Tank's Kierston Wareing wears one as she arrived for the screening of her film.
