Making the most of her trip to the Cannes Film Festival, Petra Nemcova has been dazzling onlookers in the south of France ever since her arrival.
Last night, the 28-year-old Czech supermodel sported a spring bud green dress as she schmoozed it up with fellow revelers at a benefit for the Prince Albert of Monaco Foundation.
And on Friday, Petra was once again front and center – this time attending the Cannes premiere of Un conte de Noel (A Christmas Tale).
The film is by director Arnaud Desplechin, telling “the story of a family brought together one Christmas to try to overcome the sibling rivalries that have fractured their relationships.”

Supermodel Daria Werbowy struts on runways, stars in high-fashion editorials and is a spokesmodel for beauty giant Lanc?´me. But she’s not just a pretty face – she also has a huge heart. While visiting Centro Espacial in Rio de Janeiro, a charity that provides arts programs for impoverished young adults, she was moved by the efforts of artist Vik Muniz, one of the program’s founders.
The Canadian stunner approached the Lanc?´me team about creating a capsule beauty line that could be sold to benefit the charity. She worked with Lanc?´me’s development teams to create her own unique makeup blends. The neutral-hued lipstick, gloss and eye shadow palette evoke the natural earth tones she saw while in Brazil. Her initials are etched on each product case.
The collection can be found at Sephora and the NorthPark Center Lanc?´me boutique

Victoria Beckham and Paris Hilton went head to head to promote their latest projects in London yesterday.
Victoria was in Harrods to unveil her dVb fashion line while Paris popped into Selfridges to promote her latest CanCan fragrance.
Paris seemed to draw the biggest crowds with fans queuing up over night to bag themsleves one of the 150 bottles of the new perfume that were on offer.
A Selfridges source told the mirror: “There were thousands of fans in the middle of the road, never mind the hundreds queuing inside.”
Meanwhile Victoria’s fans decided to have a lie in before heading down to check out her new jeans designs in the early afternoon.
Harrods expected bigger crowds and even set aside provisions to keep the fans warm: “The blankets were left untouched as no one turned up until a couple of hours beforehand. It was probably the bad weather,” explained a Harrods rep.
Perhaps it was the price of the dVb jeans that put people off- w the cheapest pair costing ?340. But Victoria claimed it’s well worth it as she did a bit of name dropping: “Everyone seems to love my jeans because they are so flattering. I don’t force them on my friends. Naomi Campbell and Kate Beckinsale have got a pair now. But anyone can wear them.”
