Eva's train on right style track

Eva Longoria led the fashion pack at the Cannes Film Festival in a stunning gown with a knock-out train.

The Desperate Housewives star turned up for the premiere of Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom in a bejewelled silver dress with a pale pink tulle train which at times she struggled to keep in check on the red carpet.

Before the event, Eva tweeted a snap of herself in the dress, surrounded by assistants, and joked with followers: "Leaving my room onto the Cannes Red Carpet! What do you think? Train a little long?"

Also following the trend and sporting an ample train was jury member Diane Kruger, in a mint green chiffon gown, while Slumdog Millionaire's Freida Pinto wore a sequinned strapless number with a gentle silk train.

Mystery star Hao Lei wore a low-cut fish-tailed black gown with a rock chick black leather belt, while Chinese actress and singer Fan Bing Bing wore an eye-catching gown covered in traditional Chinese artwork.
