Angelina Jolie and Halle Berry were the epitome of elegance as they led the stars at Cannes Film Festival’s Chopard Trophy Awards ceremony on Friday.

Hollywood icon Angelina, 49, was a vision in a white floor length gown as she attended the event at Carlton Beach.

The stunning dress featured a cape style sleeve on one side and perfectly hugged her slender figure as she walked along the carpet.

Smiling and waving to fans and pH๏τographers, she flaunted her toned arms, while flashing her inked skin.

The Maleficent star flashed a hint of leg as she walked – with the dress boasting a thigh high side split.

Angelina oozed class as she accessorised the look with a set of diamond jewellery, including drop pendant earrings and a silver bracelet.

Meanwhile Halle looked sensational as she slipped into a long black dress that featured a dramatic train and off shoulder sleeves.

The American actress, 58, brought her impeccable sense of style to the event – oozing confidence as she posed up a storm.

The Emmy winner donned an eye-catching diamond snake necklace with Emerald green gem stones and teamed it with matching flashy rings.

Halle gave a final touch of glamour as she wore black stiletto heels, featuring a strap that wrapped around her dainty ankles.

The beauty looked glowing as she styled her chocolate tresses into loose waves that framed her stunning features.

Cannes, where filmmakers, sales agents and journalists gather from around the world, is the Olympics of the big screen, with its own golden prize, the Palme d´Or, to give out at the end. 

Filmmakers come from nearly every corner of the globe to showcase their films while dealmakers work through the night to sell finished films or packaged productions to various territories.

Some of the first-time filmmakers at Cannes are already particularly well-known. Kristen Stewart (The Chronology of Water), Scarlett Johansson (Eleanor the Great) and Harris Dickinson (Urchin) will all be unveiling their feature directorial debuts in Cannes´ Un Certain Regard sidebar section.

Many Cannes veterans will be back, too, including Tom Cruise (Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning), Robert De Niro – who´s to receive an honorary Palme d´Or 49 years after Taxi Driver premiered in Cannes – and Quentin Tarantino, to pay tribute to low-budget Western director George Sherman.

The much-anticipated eighth and final instalment of Mission Impossible is one of the earlier premieres on this year’s Cannes calendar, with its glitzy red carpet taking place on Wednesday, May 14. 

Meanwhile Scarlett’s directorial debut Eleanor The Great, will be unveiled on May 20. 

Over recent years the star-studded extravaganza has arguably won more attention for the outfits worn by its celebrity guests than the roster of feature films being screened on the Croisette. 

But new nudity rules, devised for ‘the sake of decency,’ have been implemented at this year’s festival. 

According to organisers, the austere move is an attempt to stifle the celebrity trend for ‘naked dresses’ – namely provocative outfits that reveal considerably more than they conceal – on the red carpet.

It’s understood that the iconic venue now adopts a more conservative dress code, with suits, dinner jackets and floor-length evening gowns generally favoured over headline grabbing ensembles. 

Classic little black dresses, cocktail dresses, pant-suits, dressy tops and elegant sandals, ‘with or without a heel’, will also be permitted.
