The Cannes Film Festival is back again after being cancelled last year due to the Covid-19 pandemic so it is certain that the biggest names from the film industry showed up in their best looks on the red carpet for this year's edition. While guests reportedly had to get Covid-19 tests done, there was no social distancing on the red carpet and masks were allowed to be ditched.

In fact, masks were not the only thing that was scrapped on the opening night. In fact, the no-kissing rule was also thrown out the window almost immediately when the festival's president, Pierre Lescure, gave Jessica Chastain and Carla Bruni each a kiss.

On the red carpet this year were celebrities dressed to the nines in Gucci, Jean Paul Gaultier, Dolce & Gabbana and more. Take a look at some of the best celebrity looks on the carpet from the festival's opening night.
