Cannes Festival 2019: Bella Hadid, Penelope Cruz and Amber Heard dazzle red carpet at Pain and Glory premiere

Bella Hadid, Penelope Cruz and Amber Heard have lit up the red carpet in Cannes at the Pain and Glory premiere.

A host of stars stunned at the Friday premiere at Palais de Festivals, including the supermodel and actresses who commanded attention.

Wearing a vintage-style white lace and navy dress, with a circle skirt, Cruz headed up the Croisette's famed steps for the international premiere, alongside Antonio Banderas and the filmmaker Pedro Almodovar.

The autobiographical tale starring Banderas is hotly tipped to take the top prize at the flm festival.

Bandersas stars as Almodovar's tormented alter ego, with Cruz playing his mother at the time of his youth.

"There's a lot of me in the movie. But as soon as you start writing, fiction takes over," Almodovar, who headed up the jury at Cannes' cinema showcase in 2017, told Canal+ TV on his way into the screening.
