Looking good: Kirsten Dunst made yet another savvy sartorial choice as she stepped out for Cannes Film Festival's Palme D'Or Award and closing ceremony on Sunday evening

Oozing elegance, the blonde beauty sported a strapless, semi-sheer lace number that showed off her incredible figure - nipping in at her tiny waist and flaring out with a dramatic train. 

Featuring symmetrical lace bodice, the skirt was equally adventurous with clusters of diamonds along the hemline. Adding further appeal, she kept her accessories to a minimum in order to let the dress do the talking. 

The Fargo star also wore her golden locks up into a sophisticated bun, with loose and tousled sections at the front, that framed her pretty face.

As one of the jurors at the esteemed film festival, Kirsten ensured she nailed every element of her ensemble, sporting soft make-up that complemented her gown. 

Signed sealed delivered: Kirsten was among the jury members who decided this year's winners alongside (Centre) director George Miller, (l-r) Katayoon Shahabi, Donald Sutherland, Vaness Paradis, Mads Mikkelsen, actress Valeria Golino, director Laszlo Nemes and director Arnaud Desplechin

Framing her baby blue eyes with a sweep of mascara, she wore a slick of rosy gloss on her plump pout whilst a swathe of rouge accentuated her defined cheekbones.

Together, the look was a successful one for the Crazy/Beautiful actress, who first rose to fame in smash-hit thriller Interview With A Vampire.

And while the red carpet may have belonged to Kirsten, the night belonged to British director Ken Loach.

The veteran filmmaker, 79, picked his second Palme d'Or for I, Daniel Blake.

The award, the festival's top prize, was announced by actor Mel Gibson at the Sunday ceremony at the Palais des Festivals on the French Riviera.

Jury president George Miller described the jury's selection as 'rigorous and happy'.

I, Daniel Blake is a warmly realistic drama about a middle-aged widower in northern England who can neither work nor get government benefits after a heart attack. Loach previously also won the top award for The Wind That Shakes The Barley in 2006.

The Left Wing activist has had 12 films in competition at the Cannes Film Festival through his long career, including The Wind That Shakes The Barley, which took the Palme D'Or in 2006.

Taking to the stand, he hit out at the austerity policies being adopted across Europe, saying: 'We must give a message of hope, we must say another world is possible.

'The world we live in is at a dangerous point right now. We are in the grip of a dangerous project of austerity driven by ideas that we call neo-liberalism that have brought us to near catastrophe... When there is despair, the people from the far right take advantage.

Alongside Kirsten on the jury was French actress Vanessa Paradis, who looked equally demure.

The former wife of Johnny Depp - who first launched her career as a teenage pop star - slipped into a petite black-and-white dress which deftly displayed her impressive shape.     

Like Kirsten, the daring number also featured a lace trim - except Vanessa's was frayed and positioned along the neckline and hem.

Cosying up to fellow juror Donald Sutherland, her and Kirsten certainly seemed to be enjoying themselves.

Talking about his time on the jury, veteran star Sutherland explained: 'It was passion-fuelled by exquisite consideration for everyone in the room. 

'It was very beautiful. It was an association of people that you want to see again and again for the rest of your life. It was filled with love.'

Bond baddie Mikkelsen added: 'I think honestly, it was a very fantastic virtue we all had. I want to say bloody but it wasn’t bloody. It was passionate.'

But others also got close on the red carpet, including Mel Gibson, 60, and his girlfriend Rosalind Ross, 25, who indulged in public displays of affection at the Cannes Film Festival Palme D'Or Award and closing ceremony on Sunday.

The Mad Max actor - who has eight children, from two relationships - couldn't keep his hands off of Rosalind, who was equally affectionate as they arrived at the Palais des Festival.

Clearly feeling loved-up, the duo couldn't resist indulging in a very public kiss as they posed for photographs on the red carpet.  

Locking lips while keeping their eyes open, the pair were certainly intent of looking loved-up at the annual event's swan song, which will cap two weeks of VIP gatherings. 

Once the smooch was finished, they quickly assumed their celeb poses for the world's media.

Rosalind, a champion equestrian, was the picture of poise and serenity as her partner guided her down the red carpet, drawing her close as he held her hand and caressed her backside.

Thankfully, Rosalind looked relaxed at the big event - which is a welcome change of pace.

In January her close friend and former vaulting partner Devon Maitozo told the MailOnline that the 'private' Ross has found dealing with the 'negative attention' that has accompanied her new relationship difficult and now just wants to 'get on with her life'.

Maitozo added: 'There's been a lot of very not very nice media that's been written about her. Sifting through it has not been very pleasant at all.

'Sensationalizing her because of her relationships is not what she's looking for.
