Hollywood adds a generous dash of glamour at the ongoing French film festival.

Several Hollywood stars joined Katrina Kaif at the 68th annual Cannes Film Festival.

Take a look:

Leading the runaway hits on the red carpet is the leggy supermodel Karlie Kloss, who opted for her favourite designer label.

Dressed in a super risque Atelier Versace jumpsuit that highlights her assets, Kloss is a picture of confidence as she waled the Cannes red carpet.

And here is Academy award-winning actress Lupita Nyong'o, flaunting tropical colours that we've become so used to associating with her.

A much needed pop on the otherwise pastel-dominated do, the gorgeous Gucci chiffon gown worked up a twirl fit for a global fest of Cannes' stature.

Let us not even get started on her eye popping baubles -- she wore diamond-encrusted Alice bands in her hair and some statement diamond rings to go with the look.

Taking a cue out of fellow supermodel Kloss's book, white serves Israeli supermodel Bar Rafaeli well as she too steps out for the opening night premiere of Catherine Deneuve starrer French film  La Tete Haute

Bringing on a ton of drama on the red carpet is 46-year-old Australian actress Naomi Watts in her breathtaking and dreamy Elie Saab gown that, given its larger-than-life opulence, must have rendered her high heels completely redundant.

Julianne Moore, 54, is by no means lagging in the red carpet race as she shimmied down to announce the festival open in an even more tastefully extravagant Armani Prive gown that featured a feathered bodice.

And here is Black Swan stunner Natalie Portman, beautifully offsetting all that extravagance with a rather tame red gown -- a column-shaped strapless number by Dior Couture.

Jury member Sienna Miller brings on all the slinky minimalism that the event needs in a deep blue Lanvin gown that clung to her frame for its dear life.

Her fellow jury member Jake Gyllenhaal is a picture of understated glamour in his fine suit.

Veteran French actress Catherine Deneuve brings on some local flavour by way of her quirky, two-toned gown.

Did you know that the 71-year-old stunner has been attending the Cannes fest since the 1960s?
