Gwen Stefani: Leader Of The AmfAR Fashion Pack

Gwen Stefani on the red carpet at the amfAR gala in Cannes

When you’ve got red carpet competition from the likes of Bar Rafaeli, Freida Pinto and Clemence Poesy, you know you’ve got to up the ante, and Gwen Stefani did so to epic proportions at last night’s AmfAR Gala at Cannes Film Festival 2011. Oozing attitude (not easy to do in a fishtail, so kudos, Ms Stefani) in a knockout gown from her L.A.M.B collection, Gwen put her own edgy stamp on the big hair trend, with a modern slicked back bouffant. Cheryl Cole and co, this is how it's done.

While Stefani took last night’s Cannes style queen crown, the other attendees put up a good fashion fight with Freida in metallic Lanvin, and Karl Lagerfeld's girls Clemence and Kirsten Dunst in Chanel Couture. We'll be suffering from red carpet withdrawals once Cannes is over!
