Cheryl Cole dazzled as she arrived at the Cannes Film Festival for the premiere of a controversial Algerian movie, Outside The Law.

Cole, 26, wore a floor-length white dress with cut-out panels and a thigh-high split as she made her way up the red carpet.

Also attending the screening of Rachid Bouchareb’s film were singer Beth Ditto and the festival’s Mistress of Ceremony, Kristin Scott Thomas.
