Do all the Cannes Queens only have one leg?

It’s the way to step over red carpet rivals – only put your best foot forward!

- by Katie Hind

IT IS the height of opulent glamour, played out in front of the flashblulb­s of the world’s press. So it’s no wonder that fashionabl­e A-list stars always want to put their best foot forward at the Cannes Film Festival.

And at this year’s festival – which began on Wednesday and ends next Sunday – they are taking that very literally.

Risqué evening gowns with thigh-high slits are de rigueur on the Coissette in 2017 – and the parade of stunning women taking to the red carpets are all keen to show off their pins to best advantage.

That means striking a peculiar pose that flashes one leg for the camera – while leaving the other completely hidden, giving the unfortunat­e impression that they have literally given their left (or right) leg for a Hollywood career.
