Sharon Stone proves her Basic fashion Instincts are wrong for once at Cannes Film Festival premiere of The Search

While there was a slew of gorgeous stars, and models, on the Cannes catwalk for the premiere of The Search movie, it unexpectedly fell to Sharon Stone to prove that her Basic fashion Instincts were well off the mark for once.

Wearing a black mini-dress which was low-cut with string ties, 56-year-old Sharon truly missed the fashion mark with her odd LBD.

With her hair pushed off her face and large shades on, she looked more like Brigitte Nielsen than a Hollywood movie star.

That was in stark contrast to the previous evening when Sharon was at her usual highly glamorous standard in a figure-hugging red dress that showed off her toned body and was worn with a huge amount of de Grisogono ruby and emerald jewels.

So expensive were the rocks that she wore on her body that Sharon needed eight bodyguards to ensure her safety - and that of the jewellery.

It's little surprise then that by the night's end model Cara Delevingne was spotted licking Sharon's face.
