AN ENCORE?

Despite reports that Hadid (far right) and Leonardo DiCaprio's romance had "fizzled", insiders have revealed the pair - who are both currently in Cannes still "see each other when they can". "They have always just been seeing where things go."

It's that time of the year again, when Hollywood's A-list flock to Cannes' Boulevard de la Croisette for a two-week whirl of film premieres, champagne-fuelled parties and super yachts. And this year, the glitz and glamour came in spades as stars stepped out for the 76th annual international film festival for some fun and festivities in the French Riviera.

While one of the more respected film festivals on the circuit, Cannes has also become known as a bit of a fashion spectacle - often on par with the Oscars and the Met

While one of the more respected film festivals on the circuit, Cannes has also become known as a bit of a fashion spectacle - often on par with the Oscars and the Met Gala. Along with actors showcasing their latest films, the invitation-only event was attended by the likes of models Gigi Hadid and Naomi Campbell, who used the red carpet like a runway as they sashayed down in designer gowns from Zac Posen and Celine respectively.

Elle Fanning was jaw-dropping in her “dress of dreams”, a bespoke Alexander McQueen creation. Meanwhile, Viola Davis brought the old-school Hollywood glamour in a dramatic feathered white cape and chic asymmetric Valentino gown for the premiere of the Japanese drama, Monster.
