Who knew the desert could produce such gorgeous fashion flowers? At the recent 2010 Palm Springs International Film Festival, stars turned up the heat on the red carpet in stunning gowns.

Mariah Carey revealed a longer version of the popular Herve Leger bandage dress, while Marion Cotillard keeps the one-shoulder dress trend going strong in an Elie Saab look.

Eva La Rue may stand out from darker dresses in a floaty floral number, but Helen Mirren and Michelle Pfeiffer prove you can never go wrong with a classic LBD, long or short.
