Its that time of year again - the Cannes Film Festival kicked off today in Cannes, France. It is considered to be the most important film event in the world and is definitely the most prestigious. The Festival will continue for another 10 days and will showcase films representing the entire spectrum of the motion-picture industry.

But most importantly (for me anyway!) this Festival draws all the celebrities out in their finest. After a laid back opening day, the premiere of the new Julianne Moore & Gael Garcia Bernal flick, Blindness, starts the evening festivities. Just a few of the stars to grace the red carpet tonight were Eva Longoria Parker, Natalie Portman, Faye Dunaway, model Bar Rafaeli, Dennis Hopper, Julianne Moore, wannabe actress Mischa Barton, actor & President of the Cannes Film Festival Jury, Sean Penn & Gillian Anderson of X-Files fame, who I assume has only come out of hiding to drum up publicity for the new X-Files film due out soon - The X Files - I Want To Believe. And last but definitely not least, our very own Aussie - Cate Blanchett.

Cate Blanchett gave birth to her 3rd child no more than a month ago and she looked absolutely amazing in Armani Prive, Eva Longoria Parker dazzled in a beautiful blue gown, whilst Faye Dunaway looked stunningly immaculate - have a look for yourself below at a few shots from the opening night.
