Blake Lively made a glamorous entrance Wednesday in France to kick off the 2016 Cannes Film Festival at the fête’s opening ceremony featuring Woody Allen’s “Café Society.” The actress wowed in Christian Louboutin sandals and a Versace crystal-covered gown.

As a self-proclaimed Louboutin lover, it’s no surprise Lively hit the red carpet in the red-soled shoes. But along with the shoes, Lively brought along the designer himself as her date.
