Gaga rolled into Cannes on Wednesday and looked her outrageous best in a black lace outfit with a red headscarf over her two-tone hair as she performed on the waterfront while the official Cannes Festival launched.

Uma Thurman stunned the crowd in a white Versace gown, saying: “It’s sexy isn’t it! I had to have it made because you know how it is for us tall girls. It’s impossible to find anything in a store.”
