Why Chris Evans Skipped Cannes Premiere of New Film
Chris Evans was noticeably missing from the world premiere of his new film Honey Don’t during the 78th Cannes Film Festival in France…
Stars hit the red carpet once again on the third night of the 77th Cannes Film Festival for the Megalopolis premiere.
The film, which is a decades-long passion project of director Francis Ford Coppola, saw Nathalie Emmanuel and Aubrey Plaza bring the glamour as they joined Adam Driver for the screening at Palais des Festivals.
Nathalie, 35, who broke into Hollywood thanks to her stint on Games Of Thrones, looked incredible in a white applique gown which was embellished with tiny rhinestones.
The former Hollyoaks star complemented the look with star rings and a bow necklace.
Aubrey, meanwhile, looked the epitome of style in a champagne satin backless dress which had a twisted belt and pleated skirt.
The actresses beamed for the cameras as they marked the poignant moment alongside their co-star Adam, the rest of the cast and director Francis.

Francis first conceived the idea for the film in 1977 and actively started developing it in 1983, but it underwent significant delays and numerous cancellations over the years.
Festival president Greta Gerwig and Lady Victoria Harvey also attended.
Greta, who is behind Hollywood blockbuster Barbie, cut a glamorous figure in a black floor length gown which was adorned with thousands of shimmering sequins.
The director complemented the look with a star silver necklace and slicked her blonde pixie crop into a swept over side parting.
Greta will be amongst the panel to see which film will be bestowed with the coveted Palme d’Or award.
Lady Victoria, 47, showed off her bronzed tan in a strapless blue dress which had a daring thigh-high slit.
Development on Megalopolis began several decades ago and production both commenced and was halted on numerous occasions.
Francis returned to the project in 2019, when it was revealed that he had entered into talks with Shia LaBeouf, who ultimately joined the movie’s cast.

It was confirmed in August of 2022 that filming was set to commence later that year, and production began that fall.
Megalopolis is centered on a superpowered architect who attempts to rebuild New York City into a modernist utopia.
The film will also feature the talents of an ensemble cast that includes the likes of Giancarlo Esposito, Aubrey Plaza and Laurence Fishburne.
In addition to directing the feature, Francis wrote its script and serves as one of the project’s producers.
The filmmaker reportedly spent $120 million of his own funds in order to finance the movie.
Early screenings of the upcoming film have yielded mixed reviews from critics.
