Cannes Film Festival: Kristen Stewart goes off-duty at amfAR Gala

She’s been working the red carpet all week at the glamorous movie premieres of Cannes Film Festival.

But it was party time for serving jury member Kristen Stewart along with actresses Michelle Rodriguez and Ruby Rose as they joined a star-studded guestlist at the amfAR Gala at the Hôtel du Cap on Thursday night.

Kristen looked suitably cool in a striped dress with a striking shade of lipstick, while Ruby opted for maximum sex appeal in a plunging number and Michelle went for a flame-red dress.

Kristen kept her look simple and sophisticated with a nautical inspiration. She offset her colour block stripes with a rouge lipstick and some silver shimmer on her eyes.

The actress was back in heels, after discarding her stilettos on the red carpet for the BlacKkKlansman film premiere earlier this week. 

Twilight star Kristen previously protested the unwritten dress code rule of Cannes, which is an understanding that women are expected to wear heels at the Palais des Festivals.

Though there was no shortage of glamour at the 25th annual amfAR gala, which brought out a starry crowd of actresses, as well as models.

Ruby Rose was taking the plunge in an extremely daring backless dress, which featured a neckline slashed to her naval.

The minimal slinky gown allowed her to showcase her vast collection of colourful inkings, which adorned her arms and chest. 

Elsewhere, models Shanina Shaik and Lais Ribeiro led the model glamour as they arrived in style.  

Newlywed Shanina, 27, shunned a gown in favour of a glittering gold suit, while her model pal Lais flaunted her fabulous physique in a plunging soaring split white gown. 

Going braless under the eye-catching gold blazer, Shanina nailed androgynous chic for the high profile event. 

The half Pakistani beauty teamed the number with a pair of matching trousers and boosted her already statuesque height in a pair of towering gold heels. 

Shanina stuck to the colour scheme with a labyrinth of gold necklaces draped down her front – further enhancing her flawless decolletage. 

Smokey eye shadow enhanced her piercing green eyes, complementing her bronzed and contoured base, while her tumbling brunette locks cascaded down her front.

Shanina was rivalled on the glamour front by gorgeous Lais who wowed in a figure-flaunting dress, which only a few can pull off. 

The dazzling number plunged excessively down the middle, offering a look at her eye-popping front which was enhanced with a statement, chunky silver necklace. 

Boasting extensive cut-out detailing down the side – complete with silver panelling – the gown showed off her envy-inducing torso, before going on to flaunt her long, lean legs with the dramatic thigh-high split. 

Scraping her raven tresses into a slick high ponytail, the Brazilian bombshell relied on her naturally striking with a simple coat of dewy make-up.

This year’s amfAR gala which is in its 25th annual event aims to raise awareness and funds towards the fight against HIV/AIDs. 

Rocked by controversy recently, singer Pharrel Williams pulled out of performing at the event. Shortly before actress Sharon Stone stepped aside as co-chair of the charitable organisation.

This came in light of the allegations of sexual assault against disgraced movie producer Harvey Weinstein – who was the driving force as a sponsor behind the amfAR gala in previous years. 

In 2015, Weinstein was rocked by controversy after designer Kenneth Cole, who at the time served as amfAR chairman, allowed him to funnel $600,000 in donations for his theatre in Boston for the musical Finding Neverland.

To date the amfAR gala has raised more than $210million for life-saving programs in a bid to fight against AIDS. 

Sting and Shaggy are set to entertain the guests at the amfAR gala this year.
