Uma Thurman rocked to the beat as she sashayed along the red carpet for the opening of the Cannes Film Festival tonight.

The actress looked stunning in a white silk Versace gown that up close appeared to be see-through.

'It's sexy isn't it', Uma responded when the MailOnline complimented her on the low cut, strapless gown.


Flawless: The actress, who is serving as a jury member this year, was attending the screening of Midnight in Paris by director Woody Allen on the festival's opening ceremony


With that she did a twirl and much leg and thigh was revealed.

'I had to have it made because you know how it is for us tall girls. It's impossible to find anything in a store,' she said with a giggle.

The sheer whiteness of the dress was off-set by a pair of dangling emerald earrings from Chopard.

The hem of the dress was decorated with fine white feathers.

Asked about the provenance of the plumage, Uma joked,' I don't know. Maybe somebody lost their feathers', before proffering, 'maybe chicken'
She added: 'I feel so good wearing the dress, I hope I get a chance to dance.
