Sometimes, all it takes is a few bikinis and some stunning red carpet dresses to bring someone into the spotlight (and out of their significant other's shadow). Well, consider this the week that Elisabetta Canalis pulled it off, making everyone forget about movies by diverting the focus to her beauty.

The stunning Italian TV beauty -- who's best known for dating George Clooney -- found herself with photographers snapping away everywhere she went during the Cannes Film Festival ... and for good reason. Half of the time Canalis was in a bikini, as she was snapped showing off her remarkable body while lounging on Roberto Cavalli's yacht (tough life!). She switched from black to white bikinis depending on the day, but she was definitely red hot.

Then came the dresses.

Canalis strutted the red carpet with a vengance, rocking a slinky Cavalli dress with cut-out hips, once again flaunting her famous figure.

What did you learn at Cannes? We learned that George Clooney is one lucky dude.
