Alexa Chung Dazzles at Cannes, Outshining Tom Sturridge

She may have been in attendance to support her boyfriend's new film, but stole the spotlight from her partner at his star-studded premiere on Wednesday.

The model, 42, arrived for the red carpet in a daring lace and satin gown for the premiere of Tom's film The Man I Love, where he stars with Oscar winner .

Alexa caught the eye in her revealing silver gown with a plunging front and a sheer black lace skirt.

But Tom opted to keep the attention on his new role over posing with his stunning partner, as he instead appeared solo on the red carpet before posing for group snaps with star Rami and Luther Ford, and director Ira Sachs.

The Man I Love has been nominated for the coveted Palme d'Or and the Queer Palm at this year's festival.

Set in late 1980s , the film follows Rami's character Jimmy George, an actor facing a life-threatening illness, who takes on what may be his final major role.

Jury member Demi Moore made her latest red carpet appearance at the festival, arriving in a glamorous white gown with a black flowing scarf. 

Alexa and Tom's last appearance together came at the Met Gala earlier this month. 

It was reported in 2024 that the couple, who have been together for four years, had got engaged, though neither has ever confirmed this.

The star first sparked engagement rumours with the actor in 2023 with the couple seen wearing matching rings that October.

Then it was claimed the couple are said to be 'over the moon' and are planning a 'classy' wedding ceremony.

A source told The Sun: 'Alexa has confirmed to her friends that she is indeed engaged to Tom and she is over the moon.'

'She is in a great place and seems completely head over heels for him. They're a great match.'

'They have been hard at work planning a wedding with all of their close pals there.'

'It won't be a massive over-the-top affair but a smaller, classier and cooler bash.'

This year for the Cannes Film Festival,  Moore joins Hamnet director Chloé Zhao and actor Stellan Skarsgård on the jury.

Organisers unveiled the nine-member jury that will deliberate on the films in competition at the annual French Riviera festival in May.

As previously announced, South Korean filmmaker Park Chan-wook is president of the jury. 

Alongside him, Moore, Zhao and Skarsgård, the jurors are: Irish-Ethiopian actor , Belgian director and screenwriter Laura Wandel, Chilean director and screenwriter Diego Céspedes, Ivorian American actor Isaach De Bankolé and Scottish screenwriter Paul Laverty.

Speaking to the Daily Mail at the opening press conference, Demi said she felt 'tremendously honoured to be here'. 

She said: 'It's such a beautiful experience and one just to be surrounded by cinema and the love of cinema, and the joy of diving in and being surrounded by those who share that is just – I just felt like a joy. 

'And who can complain about the beautiful view of this incredible place? But yes, I just feel tremendously honoured and I'm super excited. I really – I feel like a little kid getting to play a grown-up.

'You know, prior I had only ever attended the Cannes Film Festival once, and that was only as someone's plus one. And so to be sitting here today, I am really, really tremendously honoured.

This year, the Cannes Film Festival honoured filmmaker Peter Jackson with a Palme d'Or.

Festival organisers announced Jackson as a recipient in March for what they hailed as 'a body of work that blends Hollywood blockbusters and films d'auteur with extraordinary artistic vision and technological audacity'.

The Lord of the Rings director, in a statement, called the honour 'one of the greatest privileges of my career'.
