The Cannes Film Festival founded in 1946, is one of the world's oldest and most prestigious film festivals.
A red carpet is traditionally used to mark the route taken by heads of state on ceremonial and formal occasions, and has in recent decades been extended to use by VIPs and celebrities at formal events.
Cate Blanchett was absolutely stunning on the red carpet for the premiere of 'Robin Hood' at the 2010 Cannes International Film Festival.
Check out Angelina and Brad at the Inglourious Basterds premiere at the Cannes Film Festival.
