But the showstopping dress of the day title really belonged to Tale of Tales actress Salma Hayek, who was headturningly ravishing in her black and gold flamenco-inspired Alexander McQueen gown.

Trust Latinas to almost always do true justice to beautiful clothes.

After her maiden turn at Cannes 2015 in a decadent Elie Saab number, Hollywood actress Naomi Watts lit up the red carpet at the premiere of Mad Max in a Ralphu Lauren gown and an array of diamonds.

Just as we wondered about the fate of sheer gowns on the Cannes red carpet, in walked Michelle Rodriguez, in a dramatic black gown with a sheer detail and nude-coloured inlay work.

The massive diamond ring on her index finger was a bigger draw too.
