Brad & Angelina steal the show at Cannes

Star couple hit the film festival red carpet

Countless stars are swarming the annual Cannes Film Festival – from Natalie Portman to Cate Blanchett – but none shine as brightly as Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.

The couple ruled the red carpet Thursday night at the premiere of her animated film, Kung Fu Panda – as Jolie showed off her ever-growing baby bump in a green, Grecian-style gown by Max Azria Atelier.

"This is my second time here with a Dreamworks movie, and they're always fun [because] they're not as heavy," Jolie – who recently confirmed that she's expecting told PEOPLE. "It's always a good time and there's something silly that goes on. Cannes is fun."

Jack Black certainly seemed to catch the silly mood as he described his costar to PEOPLE: "Glamorous. Pregnant. And Green – because her dress is green."

Inside the movie's after-party at the Carlton Beach, Jolie and Pitt – who are currently living in France at Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen's historic Villa Maryland – chatted with George Lucas and other lucky guests in the VIP area overlooking the ocean.

Given all the chatter surrounding the famous couple – and the twins they’re expecting this summer – the local paper, Nice-Matin, announced Friday morning: "The real stars of the festival are Angelina's babies."
