Look pretty in pink like Eva in custom Alberta Ferretti
Cannes Film Festival is an impossibly glamorous event, but Eva Longoria raised the bar as she stepped onto the red-carpet at the premiere of 'The Dead Don't Die' during the opening ceremony.
The style queen wore a custom-made gown by Alberta Ferretti, featuring blush satin, sequin embroidery and a draped bustier.
We love the contrasting mix of materials, plus the asymmetric design of the dress, with the corset appearing in stark contrast to the billowing silky pink train and draped bardot sleeve.
As this dress was specially designed for Eva, there's nothing quite like it available to buy, however you can click (right) to shop the current Alberta Ferretti collection at Farfetch where there's plenty of gems to be found.

The dress, which gathered in pleats across her left shoulder, was strapless on one side, with the beautiful silk fabric flowing to the ground.
