Here's a look at the hottest catwalk queens -- and what they wore on the red carpet -- at the recently-concluded film festival.

To be sure the Annual Cannes Film Festival, held in the picturesque French city by the sea, is all about the movies.

But in addition to all the silver screen sirens who grace the event, an added dash of glamour comes from the fashion fraternity, who also turn up in droves to grace the occasion.

In the following pages, we bring you a glimpse of supermodels spotted at the 66th edition of the Festival de Cannes, as it is also known, held from May 15 to 26, 2013.

We start off with Irina Shayk, who caused quite a stir in this dare-to-bare Roberto Cavalli number -- completely sheer, cut-out and putting all her curves on display, it's a wonder the ravishing Russian managed to avoid a wardrobe malfunction.

Victoria's Secret Angel and Brazilian bombshell Alessandra Ambrosio also opted for a Roberto Cavalli creation, but hers was drastically different, with scaled sequins in a fishtail silhouette that spelled sparkling elegance.
