Robbie Williams on the red carpet of Cannes
Charasmatic singer outshone other stars at NRJ Music Awards
The 'other' Festival of Cannes, the NRJ Music Awards. brings together the top names in the music business from France and across the globe, and the 2016 edition was no exception.
With fans gathering outside the Palais des Festivals the red carpet saw Robbie Williams, Bruno Mars and Coldplay, plus French stars Jenifer, Jain and Maître Gims. Crowds were delighted when Robbie Williams, resplendent in a green metallic tuxedo, made his way up the red carpet with French songstress, Jenifer. Her iridescent gown shimmered alongside Williams suit to make them truly the sparkliest pair of the evening. Williams latest album Heavy Entertainment Show has topped the charts, making him the UK's most successful solo artist ever. He later changed into a geometric pattern tuxedo to present one of the awards with Jenifer.
Heart-throb crooner, Enrique Iglesias, also stepped out in style for the event. He was there to perform and receive the NRJ Music Awards Honour award for his achievements and musical career. His onstage performance was less dazzling than his red carpet walk as technical difficulties hampered his rendition.
