Adrien Brody shared a passionate kiss with his glamorous girlfriend Georgina Chapman as they attended the amfAR Gala at the Cannes Film Festival on Thursday evening
The American actor, 52, and his partner, 49, looked every inch the perfect couple as they posed for snaps ahead of the exclusive fundraising spectacular held at Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc
Her chic ensemble boasted a plunging neckline, cape sleeves with fringe detailing, and a sparkly floral embellishment all over.
The fashion designer further elevated her look with statement drop earrings, a silver bangle, and a statement ring.
To complete her look, she styled her dark blonde locks in a sleek half-up-half-down hairstyle and wore a glamorous makeup palette.
Georgina was previously married to disgraced Hollywood film producer Harvey Weinstein, who is serving a lengthy prison sentence after being convicted of rape and sexual assault in 2020.
As Georgine and Adrien joined a host of A-list stars, Ciara took to the stage and brought the house down with an energetic performance.
The American singer, 39, put on a leggy display in a plunging black gown and over-the-knee heeled boots as she sang her heart out on stage.
Teri Hatcher, 60, also took to the stage to present as the celebrity guests certainly seemed impressed by the line-up of talent at the fundraiser.
The annual AmfAR Gala helps support the Foundation for AIDS Research by raising money and awareness for the important organisation.
Over the past 30 years, the highly-exclusive event has raised a total of over $265million for AIDS Research, with a huge $2.5million raked in last year alone.

This year’s Cannes Film Festival is taking place in the wake of Trump’s vow to enact tariffs on international films.
Cannes, where filmmakers, sales agents and journalists gather from around the world, is the Olympics of the big screen, with its own golden prize, the Palme d´Or, to give out at the end.
Filmmakers come from nearly every corner of the globe to showcase their films while dealmakers work through the night to sell finished films or packaged productions to various territories.
‘You release a film into that Colosseum-like situation,’ says Brazilian director Kleber Mendonça Filho, who’s returning to Cannes with ‘The Secret Agent, a thriller set during Brazil’s dictatorship.
‘You’ve got to really prepare for the whole experience because it’s quite intense – not very far from the feeling of approaching a roller coaster as you go up the steps at the Palais.’
Trump sent shock waves through Hollywood and the international film community when he announced on May 4 that all movies ‘produced in Foreign Lands’ will face 100 percent tariffs.
The White House has said no final decisions have been made. Options being explored include federal incentives for U.S.-based productions, rather than tariffs. But the announcement was a reminder of how international tensions can destabilise even the oldest cultural institutions.
The Cannes Film Festival originally emerged in the World War II years, when the rise of fascism in Italy led to the founding of an alternative to the then-government-controlled Venice Film Festival.

In the time since, Cannes’ resolute commitment to cinema has made it a beacon to filmmakers. Countless directors have come to make their name.
This year is no different, though some of the first-time filmmakers at Cannes are already particularly well-known.
Kristen Stewart (The Chronology of Water), Scarlett Johansson (Eleanor the Great) and Harris Dickinson (Urchin) have all unveiled their feature directorial debuts in Cannes’ Un Certain Regard sidebar section.
Many Cannes veterans have returned, including Tom Cruise (Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning), Robert De Niro – who received an honorary Palme d´Or 49 years after Taxi Driver premiered in Cannes – and Quentin Tarantino, who paid tribute to low-budget Western director George Sherman.
Meanwhile, Scarlett’s directorial debut, Eleanor The Great, was unveiled on May 20.
However, in the wake of his legal battle with former co-star Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni did not attend.
Over recent years, the star-studded extravaganza has arguably won more attention for the outfits worn by its celebrity guests than the roster of feature films being screened on the Croisette.
But new nudity rules, devised for ‘the sake of decency,’ have been implemented at this year’s festival.

According to organisers, the austere move is an attempt to stifle the celebrity trend for ‘naked dresses’ – namely provocative outfits that reveal considerably more than they conceal – on the red carpet.
‘For decency reasons, nudity is prohibited on the red carpet, as well as any other area of the festival,’ states a Cannes festival document.
‘The festival welcoming teams will be obligated to prohibit red carpet access to anyone not respecting these rules.’
The surprise new policy features in a recent festival-goers charter – released with a series of outlines regarding expected public behaviour.
Guests converged on the Grand Auditorium Louis Lumière for some of the highest-profile film screenings across a packed two-week schedule in Cannes.
It’s understood that the iconic venue now adopts a more conservative dress code, with suits, dinner jackets, and floor-length evening gowns generally favoured over headline-grabbing ensembles.
Classic little black dresses, cocktail dresses, pant-suits, dressy tops and elegant sandals, ‘with or without a heel’, will also be permitted.
While the decision to implement a more stringent policy will be a first, it is not known if French TV broadcasters, wary of airing nudity, played a role in its enforcement.

Major red carpet events, including the Cannes Film Festival, are aired in France by France Télévisions.
Recently attracting more models and influencers than actors and filmmakers, the annual ceremony has seen an increase in risque red-carpet fashion statements.
In 2021, American supermodel Bella Hadid bared her cleavage in a plunging black gown while attending a screening of Tre Piani (Three Floors).
She pulled a similar stunt three years later, with guests at the 2024 gala left speechless after she attended the premiere of Donald Trump’s biopic The Apprentice completely braless beneath a sheer brown evening dress.
