Kate Beckinsale and Eva Longoria Parker showed off their versatility — at least as fashion's leading ladies — at the Cannes Film Festival.

Both actresses went for full-blown Hollywood glamour on the red carpet, wearing stunning asymmetric long gowns, as they arrived for the premiere of Robin Hood. But they changed into something a little slinkier — and shorter — for the after-party.

Desperate Houswives star Longoria Parker, 35, swapped her white Pucci gown for a tiny sequined dress by Elie Saab, while Beckinsale, 36, traded in her lilac Marchesa dress for a super-short satin minidress.

Cate Blanchett and Russell Crowe star in the £130 million remake of Robin Hood, directed by Ridley Scott, which opens in the UK this week.

Other highlights of the festival will include Oliver Stone's Wall Street sequel, Money Never Sleeps, and Woody Allen's You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger, filmed in London.
