Pop star Madonna and Sharon Stone pusses greet each other on the stage at the start the annual amfAR party in CannesMadonna and Sharon Stone prove again that when it comes to red carpet glitz and glamour, older really is wiser.
The dynamic duo pulled out all the stops last night at the annual amfAR party in Cannes - with very different looks.
And with a combined age of 99 between them, the leading ladies showed the younger stars at Cannes they still have what it takes when it comes to setting the red carpet alight.

Meanwhile Madonna - who is one year younger - opted for a more demur and mature look in a long sleeved pink Christian Dior dress.
After dazzling at Cannes on Wednesday night, the two stars again stole the limelight, despite the presence of sexy stars who are well below half their ages.
Madonna is approaching her 50th birthday in August, while Sharon already welcomed her sixth decade in March.

And when asked whether she would be adopting another child from Malawi and replied: "Yes, I hope so."
In 2006, Madonna and husband Guy Ritchie adopted David Banda, now two, from Malawi.
Yesterday, the singer compared the criticism they received at the time to birthing pains.

She said: "I was meant to have him and it was a big struggle and I didn't understand [the criticism] but in the end I rationalised that when a woman has a child and has a natural childbirth she suffers an enormous amount.
"I went through my own birthing pains ... in the end it made me stronger so I can't complain."
Meanwhile following in Madonna's choice of dress colour Swedish model Victoria Silvstedt sizzled in a stunning and very revealing tight pink number.

Dita Von Teese opted for a bright purple dress by Gautier couture while Donatella Versace was a special guest on Madonna's table during the charity evening and wore a pale green dress by her own label.
On Wednesday, Madonna and Sharon's gowns and looks drew several parallels.
From their choice of black gowns, their pink lips and smoky eyes down to their darkened roots, onlookers were startled by the similarities between the two women.

Their remarkably youthful complexions isn't the only thing they share.
