'Hello boys, I'm back': Eva Herzigova makes her red carpet comeback after giving birth... but this time it's her legs we're looking at

By Emily Sheridan


Still a super model: Eva Herzigova shows off her toned legs in a pair of tailored shorts, matching jacket, white blouse and towering red heels at the premiere of The Conquest at the Cannes Film Festival


When she leaped to worldwide fame in the Wonderbra adverts 17 years ago, it was her décolletage attracting attention.

But as Eva Herzigova stepped onto the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival tonight, it was her amazing legs everyone was talking about.

The Czech model, who gave birth to her second child just two months ago, sent photographers into a frenzy when she shunned couture gowns for a sexy tailored shorts suit.


The bottom skimming shorts and towering six-inch red satin heels gave the mother-of-two the perfect showcase for her toned, muscular legs.

Although keeping her top half covered up under a white blouse, it was apparent the 38-year-old model had already lost her baby weight.

Herzigova gave birth to baby Philipe on March 13 - a little brother for her and boyfriend Gregorio Marsia's three-year-old son George.

Chic: Actress Milla Jovovich opted for a sleek 1920s style red, white and mocha Prada dress


A regular at Cannes, Herzigova's appearance at the screening of French film La Conquete (The Conquest) marked her return to the limelight since becoming a mother again.

Also at the premiere was Dutch supermodel Doutzen Kroes and models-turned-actresses Milla Jovovich and Laeticia Casta.

Jovovich, 35, went for a 1920s style in a red, white and mocha Prada dress and a wavy bob.

Writing on Twitter ahead of the premiere, Jovovich said her dress was custom made for her by Prada's head designer Miuccia Prada.

She wrote: Well here is the moment of truth! Mrs. Prada made a dress specifically 4 me, so I'm excited 2 hear what u think of it.

'Its definitely gonna be... Different from the other Cannes dresses... Very special. Well, here I go!!!

'But when Muccia makes u a dress personally, u wear it! Lol! Its SUPER chic, no frou frou, no fuss, no lace, just straight up awesomeness!'

Meanwhile, French model Casta wore a stunning low-cut pink dress, while Dutch supermodel Doutzen Kroes - who is representing L'Oreal at the festival - wore a simple black number.

Rachel McAdams wows the Cannes Film Festival crowd in a daring sheer red dress

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Pose: The happy couple joined director Woody Allen on the carpet to promote Midnight In Paris


She has come a long way since her role alongside Lindsay Lohan in teen movie Mean Girls.

And last night Rachel McAdams proved she has officially joined the A-list as she arrived for the screening of her new film Midnight In Paris at the opening ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival.

The 32-year-old Notebook star looked stunning in a sheer dress with bright red embellishment and embroidered train as she walked the carpet at the lavish event.


Hot date: Rachel was accompanied by her boyfriend actor Michael Sheen to the screening of her new film Midnight In Paris


She paired the intricate Marchesa dress with Bulgari jewellery and gold Casadei pumps while her hair looked old Hollywood with voluminous waves and a side parting.

Rachel was joined at the event by boyfriend and co-star Michael Sheen, who could not take his eyes off his ravishing date.

At one point her accidentally stood on the train of her dress as they walked.

The happy couple kept their romance off the red carpet but shared a private moment once they were way from the cameras.

The actors, who star in Woody Allen's Midnight In Paris, described as a sublime love letter to the city, stole a kiss as they walked into the opening night party overlooking the Cannes beach.

They met last year while filming Allen's film in Paris.

While it's still early days for the Rachel and Michael's relationship, Rachel said she is hoping they will be able to follow in the footsteps of her parents, who are her romantic inspiration.

She said: 'They are still together and still in love. I'm very blessed that way.
'I had a great example of love in front of me, and that's probably what makes me such a romantic, because I've seen it first-hand.'

Talking about her expectations for relationships, Rachel said: 'You grow up and you assume that everyone is like that, and you quickly realize that they're not, and then you have those days when you wonder if you're going to find it for yourself.

It's such a hard thing to find.

'I think it was more that realisation that rocked me.'
