The 70th Festival de Cannes is now live! The much-awaited opening day of the Cannes Film Festival is now upon us and the celebrities have begun to descend on the city of Cannes.

Flying out of Los Angeles airport in the US, award-winning actress and Cannes regular, Susan Sarandon landed in Nice yesterday. Looking youthful as she hopped out of her limousine at LAX, and timelessly elegant upon her arrival in Nice, Sarandon appears to defy her age. 

The stunning redhead Jessica Chastain also arrived at Nice Cote d'Azur airport yesterday and emerged later on the balcony of the Hotel Grand Hyatt Cannes Martinez looking elegant in a bright red dress, reminiscent of Cannes' red carpet.

The fresh prince himself, Will Smith, is already in town and ready for a busy few weeks judging the films in competition. Spotted at the famed Hotel Martinez in the heart of La Croisette, along with jury President Pedro Almodovar and fellow jury members Fan BingBing, Agnès Jaoui and Park Chan-Wook.

You can keep up to date with live broadcasts of the photo shoots, press conferences and other news on the official website for the Festival de Cannes 2017.
