Selena Gomez has served up some seriously sublime sartorial moments in recent weeks, but her wardrobe for the 77th Cannes Film Festival just took her fashion game to a whole new level. 

The Disney alum, 31, has joined a fleet of A-listers in the French Riviera for the film industry's most glamorous event of the year. From wearing an uber chic Self-Portrait peplum dress to her bombshell fashion moment in an ethereal navy gown, the Rare Beauty founder has clearly entered a new style era.

Proving her penchant for fashion on Sunday, the actress looked divine in a romantic red dress as she stepped out in Cannes.

The striking scarlet number featured off-the-shoulder sleeves adorned with ruffled tulle roses, before falling into a fit-and-flare silhouette. 

Selena opted for a timeless beauty look, styling her chocolate-brown tresses in Hollywood waves and rocking a nude lip for the photocall of her new movie, Emilia Perez, which received an impressive nine-minute standing ovation at the screening last night.

The Only Murders In The Building star looked equally breathtaking for last night's occasion, donning an off-the-shoulder column dress elevated with a contrasting white neckline. 

Her look was reminiscent of the Princess of Wales' iconic Roland Mouret dress worn to the premiere of Top Gun: Maverick in 2022.
