She has only had a minor role in one film but Cheryl Cole looked every inch the big Hollywood star as she stepped out in Cannes tonight.

The 28-year-old singer dazzled in a dramatic white dress by Stéphane Rolland Haute Couture as she made her big entrance at the Film Festival.

And the singer certainly knew how to make a big impact as she appeared to melt into the carpet with her scarlet train matching the floor.

SCROLL DOWN FOR TRAILER..

Shining bright: Cheryl Cole looked every inch the big Hollywood star as she stepped out onto the carpet in Cannes this evening in a dramatic white and red dress

She teamed the dramatic gown with bright red nails and a small matching clutch bag.

The British beauty had her long brown locks in loose waves around her shoulders and she had diamonds dripping from her ears.

While the dress had a fairly modest neckline there was a demure flash of skin from the low cut design at the back.
