Which Actress Do You Want To See In The 65th Cannes Film Festival Red Carpet

Jane Fonda, Eva Longoria and Lana Del Rey were among the famous faces on the red carpet at the opening night gala of this year's Cannes Film Festival.
　　
They and a host of other stars were on hand to see Moonrise Kingdom, the new film from US director Wes Anderson, launch the annual cinema showcase.
　　

Bruce Willis, Bill Murray and Britain's Tilda Swinton joined other cast members at the movie's glitzy premiere.
　　
The film is one of 22 in contention for Cannes' prestigious Palme d'Or award.
　　
Reactions to Anderson's latest have been broadly positive, with The Guardian's Peter Bradshaw saluting "a soufflé of strangeness [that] rises superbly".
　　
The Telegraph's David Gritten was similarly effusive, describing it as "a mood elevator of a movie" and "an ideal opener" for this year's event.
　　
Moonrise Kingdom was a suitable curtain-raiser for a festival in which US films and directors are heavily represented.
　　
Speaking at a news conference in Cannes to launch Chinese Zodiac, Chan told reporters: "This will be my last big action movie."
　　
The Hong Kong-born actor, 58, added: "The world is too violent now. I love fighting but I hate violence."
　　
The film, due for release in December, is the third in Chan's Armour of God series.
　　
The first film was released in 1987, with Chan playing the Indiana Jones-style character Asian Hawk.
　　
"I want the audience to know I'm not just about fighting, also I can act. And so, day by day, year by year, I said, 'Right, I'm going to show you the real Jackie Chan.'"
　　
Last year, he starred opposite Will Smith's son Jaden Smith in the remake of The Karate Kid, in the role of Smith's mentor Mr Miyagi.
　　
The 65th edition of the Cannes Film Festival runs from 16 to 27 May 2012.
　　
The great and good of the global film industry are gathered on the French Riviera for the annual event, which sees premieres from Wes Anderson, Ken Loach and David Cronenberg, amongst others.
　　
The BBC's Kev Geoghegan is there, too, reporting on the red carpet glamour and behind-the-scenes deals at the festival.
　　
Much comedy is provided by the supporting cast, in particular Gary Maitland as the sweetly daft Albert.
　　
Roger Allam is perhaps the best-known actor, playing whisky dealer Thaddeus.
　　
In truth, the film could have been made 10 years ago and the use of The Proclaimers' 500 Miles, though a personal favourite, grates a little as there are surely enough contemporary Scottish bands around who could have been used in the soundtrack.
　　
Loach won the Palme d'Or in 2006 and it is unlikely that The Angel's Share will repeat that success.
　　
But its light-hearted tone may lift its appeal for a mainstream audience.

Beyonce joins a list of past Most Beautiful Women honored by People that includes Julia Roberts (13 appearances) and Nicole Kidman. The 30-year-old singer, who was recently named 'the world's most beautiful woman' by Peoplemagazine, looked carefree as she strolled out of her office building with her blonde hair left out in a loose mane while bouncing along in leopard print flat shoes.

After leaving her office, Bey and Jiggaman were seen making their way to a party in an apartment near Central Park, where guests included Jake Gyllenhaal and Sarah Jessica Parker.

During an interview for the magazine which honoured her with the flattering title, Beyonce revealed that since the birth of her daughter Blue Ivy, she has been opting for a more natural look as her husband Jay-Z prefers her that way.
