CANNES RED CARPET LOOKS FROM CATE BLANCHETT GLAMOUR TO KRISTEN STEWART'S BARE FEET

Glamour reigns at the Cannes Film Festival, but this year's most memorable fashion moment might have been Kristen Stewart ditching her heels to go barefoot on the red carpet at the premiere of Spike Lee's "BlacKkKlansman," in what many people speculate was an act of rebellion against the unofficial formalwear rules at Cannes.

Other celebrities made statements but more along the lines of fashion statements.  

Cate Blanchett wore a Givenchy black jumpsuit to the star-sudded "Capharnaum" premiere and a floor length tiered rainbow skirt with a black turtleneck open back top to another event.

Kristen Stewart, Michelle Rodgriquez and Bella Hadid, glimmered in silver but bright jewel tones also showed up against the red carpet. Model Winnie Harlow wore a bright apple green gown while jury member, Khadja Nin wore a boldly colored purple and gold print gown.

Feathers, sequins, lace, chiffon, beads and crystals embellished many of the outfits and of course diamonds adorned many of the stars as they walked the red carpet at the 71st annual Cannes Film Festival. The winner of the Palme d'Or will be announced Saturday and decided by a nine-person jury led by  Blanchett. There are 21 films competing.
