PHOTOS Uma Thurman’s can at Cannes

The beuatiful Uma Thurman portrait from Cannes 2011

The 64th Cannes International Film Festival is officially under way and the red carpet festivities kicked off with the arrival of the jury members who will be deciding which film will receive the coveted Palme d’Or. The nine-person panel is headed up by Robert De Niro, but it was the Kill Billainous Uma Thurman who stole the show looking absolutely Cannestastic in a tight long-sleeved white dress!

Silly me. I completely forgot that I have an unhealthy obsession with – and attraction to – Uma Thurman! Oh man – check out these photos! That is a brutal concoction of sexiness, strength, grace and all-around bad assedness right there! And speaking of assedness, Kill Bill‘s Black Mamba transformed herself into Back Mamba with this photo:

UPDATE – SEE UMA DURING THE OPENING CEREMONY DOING HER BEST “BASIC INSTINCT” IMPERSONATION! (In other words, she’s not wearing panties y’all!)

Here is a photo of the complete nine-person Palme d’Or jury, which is basically an Uma sandwich with a whole bunch of bread on either side:

In addition to Uma Thurman and Robert De Niro, other Palme d’Or jury members include actor Jude Law, Hong Kong producer Shi Nansun and director Johnny To, French director Olivier Assayas, Argentinian producer Martina Gusman, Chadian film-maker Saleh Haroun and Norwegian writer Linn Ullmann.

Speaking about her participation in the jury, Uma stated, “I came to get inspired.” And to be inspiring!

As a parting shot, here she is looking lovely while sitting on her Cannes:
