The dresses, the diamonds, the yachts… Is there a more glamorous place on earth than the French Riviera when the annual Cannes Film Festival is in full swing? With stars of the calibre of Cate Blanchett, Angelina Jolie, Penelope Cruz, Christina Ricci, Harrison Ford, Joaquin Phoenix, Julianne Moore and Natalie Portman gracing the red carpets by day and Champagne-infused after parties by night - with the amFAR gala as ever the social jewel in the event’s crown - this year’s festivities are proving as stellar as ever.
