As stars of the runway fly out to join stars of the screen on the Cannes red carpet, talk turns to the contents of the attendees' luggage.

Which designers have teamed up with which stars? Are silhouettes set to streamline or swamp? Will the season's hot new erogenous zone - the shoulder - take centre stage?

And - this year's most important question - will anyone defy last year's controversial talking point and - God forbid - wear flat shoes?

As attendees have their final fittings and stylists make their final tweaks, we look to previous stars of the Cannes Film Festival red carpet - from Princess Diana to Kendall Jenner - in anticipation of today's first instalment.

Previous wardrobes that have impressed came from the likes of Blake Lively - whose attendance in 2014 cemented her position at the top of best dressed lists - and Sienna Miller, who showed off an enviable style repertoire in 2015.

From Jennifer Aniston's 2004 appearance on the arm of then-husband Brad Pitt in halterneck Atelier Versace, to Liya Kebede's memorable - for all the right reasons - Proenza Schouler look in 2015, this year's event is ready and prepped to play host to many more iconic moments and looks over the next 10 days.

And with George and Amal Clooney having already arrived in the French Riviera, this season looks unlikely to disappoint.

Keep an eye on standard/fashion to discover our favourite looks from the 2016 Cannes Film Festival red carpet.
