Cannes red carpet allows you to be daring: Eva Longoria

Los Angeles: Actress Eva Longoria says the Cannes film festival offers a perfect opportunity to celebrities to get bolder with their red carpet looks.

The 38-year-old claims the two-week-long red carpet extravaganza in May allows celebrities to experiment with their style without having to worry about criticism, unlike a Hollywood bash, reports contactmusic.com.

Longoria believes "risks are allowed".

"You can't do that in Hollywood - they would criticise you for this neckline being too low or that colour being too bright. (In Cannes), the more daring you are, the better it is, so it's a lot more fun," she said.
