All of the stars that weren’t in attendance at this years Cannes Film Festival were instead out in force at the National Movie Awards ceremony.

Actress Gwyneth Paltrow was one star in particular that turned up to the award ceremony and wowed on lookers with her appearance on the red carpet. 38 year old Paltrow, who has recently enjoyed much success after performing at the 2011 Grammy Awards and taking on a short acting sting in hit US series Glee, took to the red carpet alone in a black feathered Roksanda Ilincic Fall 2011 dress with a plunging neckline, which accentuated her petite frame brilliantly. She wore her hair straight and slightly in front of her face and teamed the dress with nude Christian Louboutin Lucifer Bow heels.

Paltrow looked even more glamorous as she took to the mighty stage at Wembley Arena to present the coveted award for Special Recognition, which went to The Kings Speech. We love the simple but extremely effective dress that Gwyneth wore to the National Movie Awards. Tell us what you think on our Facebook and Twitter pages.
