Style check at Cannes

Sonam Kapoor's voluminous Dolce & Gabbana, side-swept hair and muted make-up and jewellery let the outfit speak for itself. The Shehlaa lehenga, however, stuck out like a sore thumb.

The ladies brought their A-game with plenty of drama on the red carpet on Day 2 of the Cannes Film Festival.

Sonam Kapoor
Sonam managed to give us goosebumps on one instance, but let us down on the next. Her voluminous Dolce & Gabbana, side-swept hair and muted make-up and jewellery let the outfit speak for itself. The Shehlaa lehenga, however, stuck out like a sore thumb.

Fan Bingbing
What's a Cannes red carpet without Elie Saab? The Chinese actor showcased a cheery yellow confection that's typical of the designer, and looked lovely while doing so.

Emma Watson
Hermione, who? This silk gown with a sequinned black bodice is a grown up version of Emma that we’re more than happy to get on board with. Her look oozes sophistication.

Freida Pinto
Putting Indian designer Sanchita under the global radar was Freida in this stunning metallic gown with dragonflies on the bodice. A bright red lip and no jewellery made the gown stand out. She’s on a hot streak.

Claire Julien
The lesser known actor stepped out in an interesting Balenciaga ensemble that turned heads. It’s fun, sassy, confident and perfectly age-appropriate.
