Who gets your vote as Best Dressed at Cannes today? More photos are after the jump...


Andie MacDowell?
Jessica Chastain?
Helen Mirren?
Marion Cotillard?
Jodie Foster?
Soko?
Maggie Gyllenhaal?

The opening night film was the competition title Annette starring Marion Cotillard and Adam Driver and directed by French madman Leos Carax (of Holy Motors, Pola X, and Lovers on the Bridge fame) so the whole jury was out as well. Spike Lee wore a bright fuschia suit, bless.

As we've stated before this is not the first time the festival has had a majority female jury but it's not common. This is only the third time that we know of. You can read up on the jury here

And Jodie Foster, pictured here with her wife, was the recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award. The French have always loved her and it probably helps that she's spoken fluent French since way back in the days of Taxi Driver and dubs her own films
