Cannes 2013: Rain dampens A-list parties Carey Mulligan, who is starring in two films this year, joked her Cannes experience could be summed up by the word "cold," while Bond girl Naomie Harris said she regretted leaving her wellies at home. The actresses both braved the conditions to attend an Independent Filmmakers Project beach-front party to celebrate women in film last night, shivering in their dresses as they posed for photographers. "I didn't think to bring my wellies with me," Harris told the Telegraph. I wish I had now. This is my first time here. Wearing a cut-out dress by Calvin Klein, she added would not let the pouring rain ruin her time in Cannes, with a packed schedule of parties to attend. "If there's a party on a yacht, you have to go," she said "I'm just going to have to rave it out." Carey Mulligan, who had visible goosebumps as she braved the red carpet last night, has already been photographed sheltering under an umbrella at the premiere of The Great Gatsby. Her co-stars Leonardo di Caprio, Nicole Kidman, Isla Fisher and director Baz Luhrmann were all flanked by assistants protecting their outfits and hair from the conditions.

Rooney Mara, who starred in Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, said she would encapsulate her Cannes experience with the word "freezing." The forecast predicts rain all through the weekend, with the sun eventually making an appearance on Monday.
