Under the watchful eye of the French security forces, the 69th Cannes Film Festival kicked off with a celeb-filled red carpet on Wednesday night.

Stars including Julianne Moore, Justin Timberlake, Victoria Beckham and many more walked the famous red carpet for the premiere of Woody Allen's 1930s Hollywood comedy "Cafe Society" - the opening film. Over the next 10 days, the festival will screen an especially strong slate of films that will be vying for the Palme d'Or - the festival's top prize.
