The Cannes Film Festival is not only an event to premiere new films, it’s also a time to celebrate the timeless films. In commemoration of Cleopatra’s 50th anniversary, many stars, including Jessica Chastain and Milla Jovovich, attended a special edition screening of this classic film last night. Though the two starlets dressed in very different looks (dark versus light, lots of skin versus completely covered), both of these ladies bewitched every single camera in their own glamorous way.

Academy Award nominee Jessica Chastain may have been the luckiest girl on the Cannes red carpet. The co-host of the Cleopatra screening donned a Bulgari diamond and sapphire necklace and a matching ring that was given to Elizabeth Taylor by Richard Burton as a token of his love. Looking every bit as regal, Chastain allowed her exquisite jewellery to take the spotlight and opted for a simple, long sleeve ivory Versace gown from the Spring 2013 collection, paired with nude platform heels. With finger waves and side-swept hair, Chastain dazzled the red carpet with her natural beauty.

On the opposite end of the colour—and cut—spectrum, model-turned-actress Milla Jovovich exposed a lot more skin on the Cannes red carpet for the anniversary screening of Cleopatra. In a midnight-blue backless Prada dress, complete with crystal embellishments on the skirt, Jovovich looked smoldering as she showed off her toned body. Channeling similar smoky eyes as the Egyptian queen (and Taylor’s signature style), Jovovich finished off her look with a Swarovski clutch and pair of black Prada platform heels.
