She’s one of France’s most famous exports so we knew Marion would bring the glam on home turf!

There’s nothing we love more than a caped dress, fact.

We particularly love the summery, neutral look Maggie opted for.

How could we forget *that* Cannes red dress with the daring split?

This year, model Bella opted for a more modest and monochrome look, but looked equally as stunning.

The Four Weddings and a Funeral star looked incredible in this icy blue number as she strutted her stuff for the cameras.

We think we saved the best for last.

There aren’t many people who can pull off a fringed, bejewelled body suit but model Candice certainly can.
