The 75th Cannes Film Festival kicked off last week, and with it came the glitz and glamour of the red carpet.

Celebrities were seen jetting in from all over the world to attend this prestigious event, which will run until May 28.

While the highly anticipated festival showcased the finest in international cinema, highlighting the talents of actors, directors and film crew, it also put a spotlight on the most out-there fashion choices.

Whether straight off the runway or custom made, the selection of dresses (and jumpsuit) drew eyes all the same.

Of course, designs by big fashion houses like Fendi, Prada, Louis Vuitton, Armani and lots more were spotted. However, there were also stars who chose lesser known labels like Tony Ward Couture and Gaurav Gupta.

In terms of colours, bright and vivid shades were a go-to. Glittering creations that dazzled amid the flashes of cameras became a choice pick too.

Embellishments ranged from the dramatic to the subtle, with lace, crystals, ruffles and long trains all parading down the red carpet.
