Cannes Film Festival

It was a special night in France with the 20th annual amfAR gala taking place during the Cannes Film Festival today. The event raises money for AIDS research, and this year, it featured The Ultimate Gold Collection Fashion Show, as well as an auction. Guests were in for a special treat since a trip to space with Leonardo DiCaprio was up for bid! Before the fun began inside, though, stars hit the red carpet in their finest. Model Alessandra Ambrosio worked the cameras in a metallic gown while Goldie Hawn brought a pop of color in yellow and Rosario Dawson kept it neutral in black. Milla Jovovich, Jessica Chastain, in a red Saint Laurent look, Sharon Stone, Janet Jackson, Kylie Minogue, and Ellie Goulding also made appearances.

It's a wrap for the 2013 Cannes Film Festival and I've gathered all of the beauty looks from the beautiful Brits that attended the premieres, photocalls and parties. Once the rain stopped, everyone looked like they were having a glamourous time on the French Riviera — oh how enviable it all looks! Take a peek at superstars like Emma Watson, Carey Mulligan, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Cara Delevigne, Kristen Scott-Thomas, Cheryl Cole, Florence Welch and Georgia May Jagger in my slideshow and let me know whose beauty style you like best!

There was no tribute more fitting for the 50th anniversary viewing of Cleopatra — and to the film's stars, Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton — than Jessica Chastain wearing one of Taylor's Bulgari necklaces at the Cannes premiere. It was a gift given to Taylor by Burton on her 40th birthday, in 1972.

The sapphire-and-diamond sautoir (with a 65-carat center stone) is part of an eight-piece collection that the jewellery house bought back from Taylor's 2011 Christie's auction, and these pieces have rarely been loaned to celebrities. "I feel so lucky to be wearing them. They looked so fabulous on her and she was a movie star from her head to her toes," said Chastain. "That kind of glamorous star doesn't exist anymore but their diamonds do."

It's hard to think of a more glamorous place for a romantic rendezvous than Cannes, France. First held in 1946, the annual Cannes Film Festival has attracted lucky Hollywood couples to the South of France. We're spreading the love with a look at past and present twosomes who made the festival's exclusive guest list. While some of the couples went on to break up, their je ne sais quoi lives on.

Matt Damon joined up with his Behind the Candelabra costar Michael Douglas to premiere their new film at the Cannes Film Festival today. Matt also had his wife Luciana by his side and they snapped pictures of all the action as they made their way down the carpet. Matt and Michael are screening their HBO project in the South of France before it officially hits the small screen on Sunday, May 26. Earlier in the day, Matt and Michael attended a photo call and a press conference. They have been doing quite a bit of press for the biopic, which follows Liberace, played by Michael, and his young lover, played by Matt. Naturally, a story about a couple had to involve love scenes, and Michael revealed in a recent interview he wasn't exactly put off by the idea of kissing one of America's best-looking actors. He said, "As far as making out with Matt, it’s not so bad. We rehearsed the scenes. For me, I guess the biggest thrill is, when I first saw it, after a few minutes, I really forget it’s Matt. Matt and Mike, you know? I just forget it’s us."

Matt is in Cannes after wrapping up filming for his upcoming film with George Clooney, The Monuments Men, in Germany. The pair celebrated finishing the film by having a boys weekend at George's Lake Como estate earlier this month.

When it comes to Cannes Film Festival, some people are focused on the actors, others on the fashion, but we are zooming in on the manicures. The glamorous dresses call for equally exciting nail designs. Get an up close look at the best nail art and polish spotted in the South of France.

British beauties like Cheryl Cole, Carey Mulligan, Cara Delevigne and Emma Watson have been decorating the coast of France with their exceptional glamour all weekend long.

On Saturday evening at the premiere of Jimmy P. (Psychotherapy Of A Plains Indian) at the Cannes Film Festival, Cheryl Cole donned a tiered-plaited ombrè hairstyle with a front quiff. Looking all out glamorous on the red carpet in a burgundy Zuhair Murad gown, Cheryl may have been off the radar for a couple of months since the split of Girls Aloud, but she is returning to the scene looking more beautiful than ever. See her hair, makeup and tan and toned body from all angles here!

Jessica Chastain arrived in Cannes over the weekend and she has already made a splash on the party circuit. She wore Shamballa earrings as she attended a Chanel and Vanity Fair dinner last night, alongside stars James Franco, Milla Jovovich, and Paz Vega. James stopped by the dinner after hosting a party in honor of his ex-girlfriend Ahna O'Reilly on a yacht earlier in the day. Ahna costars alongside James in his directorial debut, As I Lay Dying, which is premiering tonight at the festival.

As for Jessica, she is in the South of France to promote the 50th anniversary of Cleopatra. She will host a special screening of the newly restored project tomorrow and will also wear the famous emerald and diamond necklace Richard Burton gave to Elizabeth Taylor during the production of the film. Jessica stopped over in Cannes after wrapping up filming for her latest project, Miss Julie, in Ireland. Jessica posted photos of her visit to Ireland on her Facebook page, noting that it was "tough to say goodbye" to the Emerald Isle.
