Mumbai: The 61st Cannes Film Festival may be over but everyone's still talking of the line-up of celebs on the red carpet.

Here’s who dazzled and who fizzled at Cannes this year.

Think Cannes and you think cinema and celebrities in their designer best. However, designer doesn't always mean the best. So when the stars hit the red carpet at Cannes, some made fashion statements, other fashion faux pas.

Best Dressed

If Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie personified all things classy, chic and elegant, Pitt in his classic Tom Ford tux and a heavily pregnant Jolie in a graceful Max Axria gown, then Harrison Indiana Jones Ford and partner Calista Flockhart, in a stylish blue off shouldered dress, gave Brangelina a stiff competition.

Natalie Portman looked cute in a blue flirty cocktail-layered dress and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan looked like a Miss World in her bejewelled champagne coloured gown with matching heels to go.

And Goldie Hawn proved that old is certainly gold in her sexy white chiffon dress. Penelope Cruz looked million-dollar bucks in her flowing ivory gown. And this sophisticated grey design made Armani muse Cate blanchett the queen of the red carpet.

Worst Dressed:

From being a trendsetter, Madonna became a fashion disaster when she walked in wearing this Chanel creation that seemed to have been, well, shredded.

Julianne Moore's yellow dress with feather trimmings was a case of a design gone seriously wrong. And it seems Salma Hayek had a Frida hangover and her matronly green dress was an absolute mess.

Gwyneth Paltrow sported a bow-trimmed hip-hugging Chanel tragedy while Linda Evangelist threw on a gold potato stack. Desperate housewives star Eva Longoria was desperately in need of a new designer-the cascading tulle was an absolute catastrophe.

And here's a blast from the past-action star Jean Claude Van donning the retro look-an open invitation for the fashion police?
