Ooh la la! The 62nd international film festival held in Cannes, France got off to a stylish start today when legendary actresses and jury members Sharmila Tagore, Robin Wright Penn (in Elie Saab Vintage Couture), Isabelle Huppert (this year's jury president), Asia Argento and Shu Qi posed for their photo call.

Celebrity enthusiasts might recall that it was Robin Wright Penn's soon-to-be-ex-husband Sean Penn who served as last year's jury president. (Among his tribunal was Natalie Portman, who he is now rumored to be dating.)

Check back with StyleList over the next 11 days for more celeb glamour shots and insider info from the cinematic festivities.
