Has previewing films always felt like Paris Fashion Week?

The Cannes Film Festival, which began Wednesday, May 17 and will go on through Sunday, May 28, is an exclusive invite only festival that gives guests early showings of all genres of films.

For 70 years, the French film festival has been a place for the most elite celebrities to show off beautiful clothes, and this year has been no different. High-slits, sweetheart necklines, and pale colors have been some of the biggest trends seen.

However, the red carpet for some of these movie screenings appeared to have become a gathering place for models.

If you weren't able to recognize Adriana Lima, Sara Sampio, Lily Donaldson, and Bella Hadid all of who model for Victoria's Secret, then you might have thought they were the most beautiful and impeccably-dressed actresses you've ever seen. Maybe they are all appearing in a movie we haven't heard about?

More models who have turned actresses or vice versa like Lily Rose Depp and Emily Ratajkowski were also seen on the red carpet.

The event hasn't turned into a complete model takeover though. Uma Thurman, Julianne Moore, and Jessica Chastain were in attendance.
