Who is Hofit Golan? Telegraph answers:

12 red carpet gowns and counting; that's the number of appearances Hofit Golan has made during the Cannes Film Festival thus far - more than double made by those household names Cate Blanchett, Jessica Chastain and Marion Cotillard.

So just who is the party-loving Israeli? And why is she bagging all the best invites?

Most commonly described online as a 'socialite', there's no denying that Golan is very sociable indeed. No event is deemed too insignificant for her presence, especially where the Cannes Film Festival is concerned.

Each year, the diamond-loving blonde pitches up and strikes a pose at every envelope-opening in town, then scours Getty images to tirelessly share her watermarked-stained get-ups with her followers on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.

But Golan's resume is meaty; she declares herself a spokesmodel for no less than five brands: Avakian jewellery, Elizabeth Grant skincare and cosmetics, Swissdent toothpaste, Nikolet and Croton watches, and Radicale skincare. She's also the co-owner of 'multiple high fashion brands' (her words on Facebook) with Scott Henshall. If the latter rings a bell it's because A) he's the one who designed that £5m diamond encrusted dress which some-time singer Samantha Mumba wore to the 2004 premiere of Spider-Man 2, and B) gave what was considered to be one of the worst-ever Bushtucker Trial performances on I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here!

And we're not quite finished - she's also a host on FashionTV, where her Cannes coverage sees her sidle up to the Hollywood glitterati for a quick V sign to the camera. During the rest of the year there's also tiresome, fashion-focused jaunts to St Barths, Mexico and the Rio Carnival. It's tough, but someone's got to do it.
