This year's Cannes Film Festival was a fashion delight, with arresting red carpet looks continuing right through the event's official closing ceremony. Nicole Kidman opted for another sleek, white dress to close things out, and Uma Thurman went big in a decadent metallic gown — there was even a pair of gilded wings to awe us! Look back at all the stylish moments, including the glamorous turnout at the amfAR Cinema Against AIDS Gala, but be warned: daydreaming is likely.
