The Cannes Film Festival‘s opening ceremony kicked off today with some the world’s biggest stars hitting the red carpet in France for the premiere of “Everybody Knows,” starring Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz.
The glamorous 11-day festival is famous for seeing celebs rock head-turning looks, from the red carpet to the parties. And this year is no different, with Julianne Moore leading the pack in red.
The Oscar-winning actress donned a red hot cape dress by Givenchy featuring feather detailing paired with matching red platform sandals. Moore wore her famous chestnut locks up in a top knot, which highlighted diamond drop earrings.
