Cannes Film Festival

The Cannes Film Festival kicked off on Wednesday and the South of France has officially been flooded with celebrities. Carey Mulligan and Leonardo DiCaprio kicked off the festivities alongside Julianne Moore at the Opening Ceremony and The Great Gatsby premiere on Thursday. Meanwhile, Emma Watson was in awe of the fanfare when she took her own trip down the red carpet at The Bling Ring premiere yesterday. The action wasn't only on the red carpet as Rooney Mara proved when she attended a Calvin Klein bash alongside Harvey Weinstein on Thursday evening. Other stars like Justin Timberlake, Isla Fisher, Nicole Kidman, and Octavia Spencer have also been getting in on the Cannes fun this week.

Is there a more fashionable film festival than the one at Cannes? Based on the black-tie dress code and the sheer level of couture worn on the red carpet there, it's fair to say that this French town — which witnessed the beginning of its 66th annual film festival on Wednesday — has seen some of the best-dressed women on earth.

And while this year is already shaping up to be spectacularly glamorous, there are more than a few dresses in years past that stick out as some of the most iconic ensembles in Cannes history. From the gold-spangled Lanvin dress Linda Evangelista wore on the carpet in 2008 to the Jean Paul Gaultier bustier Madonna wore in 1991, these gowns are sure to go down as some of the most-loved Cannes red carpet choices of all time. A look at our favorites, here in the gallery.
