I am such a huge fan of Cannes Film Festival. As far as cinema-related festivities go this is definitely my favourite over the Oscars and the Golden Globes. Everything is just unmatchably unrivalled in the Côte d'Azur. This year's edition of the festival opened yesterday with the premiere of Wes Anderson's "Moonlight Kingdom", which I can't wait to see, and the traditional morning photo calls and evening red carpets.

Who better to kick things off that queen of chic and elegance Diane Kruger? We are only on day one and she has already raised the bar a lot for the ladies coming after her. However, I will not speak too soon because last year's greatest hit by Armani Privé came towards the end of the festival.

For the day photo call press event Diane wore a burgundy Versus dress with a pleated skirt and strappy side details. It was a super chic moment, which was made even better by the Jimmy Choo Sandals she wore. I loved the mirroring effect of the gaps in the shoes and the sides of the dress.

For the red carpet in the evening she slipped into a Giambattista Valli Couture gown in a stunning shade of aquamarine. I don't know whether it's the fact that she's German so there is something cold and mysterious about her but she adds a Je-ne-sais-quoi to everything she wears that I love.

One of my favourite things about Cannes is the fact that they do these super fun pictures from the back – roll over the images to see these shots.
