The 2017 Cannes Film Festival took its bow today, wrapping up 11 days of celebrities making glamorous turns on the red carpet in the South of France.
Movie stars and supermodels stepped out in sleek dresses and shoes to ascend the staircase at the Palais des Festivals, and some of the last entertainers who helped close the ceremony made it a spectacular grand finale.

Uma Thurman had a golden moment in a shimmery Versace fringe dress with matching metallic gold sandals.
