Isla Fisher

After an exciting few days in France for the Cannes Film Festival, Isla Fisher was back in NYC today for the premiere of her new movie Now You See Me (out Aug. 29). She was joined by some of the esteemed actors in the mostly-male cast, including Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg and Mark Ruffalo, who brought along his wife, Sunrise Coigney, and their three young children. In the film, Isla, Jesse, Woody and Dave Franco are a magic group act who steal money from corrupt business leaders and return it to their audiences during their acts. Meanwhile the FBI is trying to catch them and work out how they’ve been pulling off their daring heists.

Isla’s appearance in NYC today means she’ll be absent from tonight’s Sydney premiere of The Great Gatsby, which will still have a huge star presence thanks to Tobey Maguire, Carey Mulligan, Joel Edgerton, Elizabeth Debicki, and filmmakers Baz Luhrmann and Catherine Martin, along with a host of local talent.

The Cannes Film Festival kicked off on Wednesday and the South of France has officially been flooded with celebrities. Carey Mulligan and Leonardo DiCaprio kicked off the festivities alongside Julianne Moore at the Opening Ceremony and The Great Gatsby premiere on Thursday. Meanwhile, Emma Watson was in awe of the fanfare when she took her own trip down the red carpet at The Bling Ring premiere yesterday. The action wasn't only on the red carpet as Rooney Mara proved when she attended a Calvin Klein bash alongside Harvey Weinstein on Thursday evening. Other stars like Justin Timberlake, Isla Fisher, Nicole Kidman, and Octavia Spencer have also been getting in on the Cannes fun this week. Be sure to check back for more Cannes Film Festival photos as they come in!

The Cannes Film Festival red-carpet events kicked off with The Great Gatsby premiere, setting a high bar for all the celebrity glamour to follow. Yesterday, Emma Watson and Freida Pinto furthered the A-list allure with arrivals at their respective premieres. Freida glowed in an embellished Sanchita gown as she made her way down the carpet at the Jeune & Jolie screening, while Emma traded her photocall style for black-and-white Chanel at the premiere of The Bling Ring.

It may have been raining on the red carpet, but that did not stop our favourite stars from attending the premiere of The Great Gatsby at the opening ceremony to this year's Cannes Film Festival. From Carey Mulligan's sleek and streamlined Dior Haute Couture gown to Cara Delevingne's ultra-sexy body-con number from Burberry, these chic starlets weren't afraid to fete this year's fest with a level of glam that could only be surpassed by Jay Gatsby himself. A look at all of these gowns and more, here, in the gallery.

Leonardo DiCaprio suited up to join his The Great Gatsby leading lady, Carey Mulligan, to kick off the Cannes Film Festival with a glamorous photo call for their film yesterday. Leo and Balenciaga-clad Carey were joined by the rest of their co-stars, Isla Fisher, Tobey Maguire, Joel Edgerton, Elizabeth Debicki, as well as the film's director, Baz Luhrmann, as the annual festival got under way in the South of France. It was a busy day for the Gatsby crew, who also participated in a press conference to discuss the film that opened in the US last Friday (it opens in Australia on May 30). The Great Gatsby boasted impressive numbers in its first week, raking in $51.1 million from its US debut.

Leo and his long-time friend Tobey Maguire were reunited at the festival after pairing up earlier this week in NYC. Tobey showed his support at Leonardo's Christie's auction, which raised $35 million to benefit environmental and wildlife conservation efforts, a cause that is backed by the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation.

There's a lot more going on in The Great Gatsby than just pretty cinematography and A-list actors like Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan dressing up in period costumes. After recently attending the film's press conference in NYC, we learned a great deal about the highly anticipated new film.

Although The Great Gatsby doesn't hit cinemas until May 30, Leo, Carey, Isla Fisher, Tobey Maguire, director Baz Luhrmann, and costume director Catherine Martin chatted ahead of the release about the making of the project and how difficult it was to translate one of the most famous American novels into a film that modern-day audiences would want to see.

Read on for the five key points we learned from the press conference, including how Leo himself relates to the infamous Gatsby!

Between new haircuts, updated styles, slicked locks and lots of ombré, hair certainly stole the show in this week's celebrity beauty round-up. Nicole Richie set the pace with her first official appearance since she took a trip down fringe lane (hubby Joel Madden didn't notice — ah, men), while Kate Middleton mixed things up with wavier hair than usual (not to mention that pregnancy glow). But it wasn't all about hair. Isla Fisher totally stole the show at The Great Gatsby world premiere, thanks to her bright red lips and cats-eye liner — see that look and more when you click through!

The world premiere of The Great Gatsby was held at the Lincoln Center in NYC today, and the film’s big stars were out in force on the black carpet. Man of the moment Leonardo DiCaprio arrived solo but his handsome co-stars Tobey Maguire and Joel Edgerton had their significant others with them, Jennifer Meyer and Alexis Blake respectively. Leading lady Carey Mulligan chose a strapless red Lanvin dress for the occasion, while Isla Fisher picked floral Dolce & Gabbana.

Jay-Z, who serves as executive producer on the movie’s soundtrack, was also on hand for the premiere, but his wife Beyoncé, who did a cover of Amy Winehouse’s “Back to Black” for the album, couldn’t make it because she’s currently on her Mrs. Carter world tour in London. Florence Welch, who also contributed a song to the soundtrack, hugged it out with director Baz Luhrmann, and when Baz wasn’t mingling with his stars he posed with wife Catherine Martin, the movie’s costume designer. Catherine worked with designer Miuccia Prada on some of the gorgeous dresses, and last night Prada threw a cocktail reception for The Great Gatsby to celebrate an upcoming exhibit of the costumes.

The Great Gatsby is one of the year’s most anticipated films after having its release date constantly pushed back. After the NYC premiere, the cast will head to France where they’ll open the 2013 Cannes Film Festival. Then they’ll return to Sydney, where a majority of the 3D film was shot, for its third red carpet outing on May 22, ahead of its May 30 release. Despite all the reports about production delays and budget issues, Aussie star Callan McAuliffe, who portrays young Jay Gatsby, tweeted this after watching it today: “I hate to overuse the phrase but I think it's necessary here... Gatsby was DAMN FANCY.”

The stars of the hotly anticipated film, The Great Gatsby, have started to arrive at the world premiere in New York. Aussie beauty Isla Fisher looks very sweet with volumised curls and pink lips, while Nina Dobrev is rocking her usual, sexy look. Click through to see these girls, plus the big star of the moment, Carey Mulligan.

Finally! After a much-delayed release date The Great Gatsby film premiered at New York City's Lincoln Centre today. The world premiere drew a star-studded crowd, bouyed by the big-name cast. The 1920s classic tale is sure to spur a wave of flapper-esque fashions, so the style set — including US Vogue's Anna Wintour and Andre Leon Tally — were front and centre for the star-studded event. And the frocks? Leading lady Carey Mulligan was red hot in a strapless Lanvin sheath, Aussie beauty Isla Fisher opted for a petal-adorned Dolce & Gabbana gown, and Tobey Maguire's better half (and jewellery queen) Jennifer Meyer Maguire donned a stunning Saint Laurent creation.
