Sinomatography: Chinese stars in Cannes

After supposedly not entering into the spirit of the faith at the Metropolitan Mu-seum of Art's Costume Institute gala in New York, Chinese stars brought hyperwatt power and style to the kleigs lights of the 71st Cannes Film Festival and its glamourous red carpet on the French Riviera.

Miao Miao and Aaron Kwok were there, making the picture-perfect leading man and lady in Wang Yang's suspense caper June.

Attending Jia Zhengke's Ash is Purest White world premiere, Zhao Tao and Liao Fan paraded their most Prada-ry wares for the world's eager paparazzi, while Chinese actress Gulnazar dazzled in Hong Kong jeweller Qeelin's Couture Wulu collection at Kering Group's Women in Motion dinner, also attended by Li Yuchun.

And from black to white, Miao Miao and Zhao Tao eased into white with Dior Haute Couture and Dior Homme for another turn down the Riviera.
