They have so far been a staple at the majority of premieres during the 67th Cannes Film Festival.
And on Thursday evening the models were out in force once again as they attended the annual amfAR Cinema Against AIDS gala held at the famous Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc.
Leading the leggy beauties was British model Rosie Huntington-Whitely who looked like a Grecian goddess wearing a flowing yellow Emilio Pucci autumn/winter 2014 gown featuring cut-out detail around the waist and neckline.

Irina Shayk also opted to show some skin wearing a pale pink Atelier Versace dress which was draped over a sequined bodice, revealing not only her cleavage but also her long tanned leg.
The slightly bizarre dress featured a high neckline, with just one sleeve, creating a semi modest look for the Russian model, who is dating Ronaldo.
Lara Stone, who is married to Brit comedian David Walliams, appeared to take inspiration from a belly dancer wearing a vintage Gianni Versace stunning gold and black bra bodice and a full skirt.

Her look was in contrast to fellow Victoria's Secret model Karlie Kloss, who kept her famous figure hidden beneath a twenties inspired beaded frock and a pair of flat sandals.

However, the iconic blonde turned up the heat, as while the dress by Roberto Cavalli was floor length and long sleeved, it still managed to show off plenty of her famous figure.
Featuring a flowing long skirt the gown was very conservative at the bottom but then, at the waist, it had enormous embellished round cut-out sections showing off the movie star's stomach but she was not done there, as the dress also had a keyhole cut-out on her chest.

Wurst - the alter ego of 25-year-old Thomas Neuwirth - said she's hoping to go even further in the music business after years of appearing on television in two reality shows and another talent show in 2011.
'I've not been invited to the World Music Awards although I'd love to. Maybe next year. I want to record an album and I have to make more music,' she said.
Famed British artist Damien Hirst has created a gilded woolly mammoth skeleton encased in a gold tank to be auctioned off at the annual gala.
Titled Gone but not Forgotten, the three-meter mammal joins Hirst's famous shark in formaldehyde and bisected cow in his Natural History series.
The one-of-a kind piece is expected to raise millions of dollars for the charity's work in the fight against AIDS. Past auction items have included a trip to space with Leonardo DiCaprio and a kiss from George Clooney.
Held at the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc, the amfAR gala is one of the highlights of the Cannes Film Festival attracting support from global stars such as Sharon Stone, Heidi Klum and Aishwarya Rai.
This year's guest list includes Jessica Chastain, Berenice Bejo, Adrien Brody and Robin Thicke, who will perform at Thursday's event.
