Catherine Zeta-Jones Wears A Fiery Red Elie Saab Gown To The Cannes Film Festival

Catherine's husband received the Honorary Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival's opening ceremony. She, of course, supported him in style. The ageless actress wore a stunning fiery red gown from Elie Saab. The floor-length gown featured a plunging neckline, a purple gradient, and a one-sleeve cape detail. Her Grecian ensemble also featured a cummerbund that cinched her waist.

She looked as stunning as ever with loose beach waves, a nude lip, full lashes, and glowy red eyeshadow. Catherine chose to let the plunging neckline speak for itself and didn't accessorize with a necklace—but she did wear red, gemstone earrings, a diamond bracelet, a chunky red ring, and her wedding wing.

Her daughter also wore an Elie Saab dress but in white. Carys's dress was made from a sheer lace fabric with netting detail on the skirt. She styled her hair up and out of her face in a tightly braided bun. Catherine's daughter finished off the look with silver statement earrings, a bracelet, and rings. As for glam, Carys had rosy pink cheeks, a pink lip, and shimmering eye shadow.

Michael, on the other hand, was dapper as always in a three-piece black tuxedo with a button-down white shirt, a black bowtie, a white pocket square, and black dress shoes. His documentary, Michael Douglas, The Prodigal Son, is also screening at the Cannes Film Festival. The family also shared a sweet moment when the two women planted a kiss on both of Michael's cheeks at the top of the iconic steps.

To walk the iconic red carpet with my daughter @carys.douglas and my husband @michaelkirkdouglas as he receives his lifetime achievement Palm D’Or was a night I shall never forget, ever." The carousel post shows the actress posing for a full-body photo of Catherine's outfit, the cute kiss with her husband and daughter, and two shots of Carys's chic red carpet ensemble.

Her fans quickly commented on the actress's plunging dress and her lovely family. "I'm so in love with this red dress," one person commented, and another wrote, "Such a stunner...you looked ravishing in your scarlet gown, Catherine!" and, "You and Carys were stratospheric, supreme elegance."

Other fans adored the cute moment on the Cannes steps and the interaction between Michael and Carys in the last photo. "All 3 of you are so beautiful!" a fourth fan commented, while another raved about "The way Michael looks at his daughter!"
