Mauboy dazzling at Cannes foray
J *essica Mauboy *has played the red carpet jewel for the screening of new Australian film The Sapphires at the Cannes Film Festival.

Festival commentators at Cannes have described The Sapphires as a feelgood drama and a comedy and on Saturday night an audience crammed with critics gave it a long standing ovation.
Standing alongside Mauboy to complete the foursome for Australia's version of The Supremes were *Deborah Mailman *, *Shari Sebbens *and *Miranda Tapsell *. The starlets were joined on Saturday night by male co-stars *Chris O'Dowd *and *Tory Kittles *.
