Elle Fanning draping herself casually over a balcony in a glamorous, off-the-cuff photo shoot can only mean one thing – the 2023 Cannes Film Festival is upon us.
The film’s industry’s biggest stars have already descended on the French Riviera for one of the calendar’s biggest events, which officially kicks off tonight (Tuesday).
Running until May 27, the film festival will treat us to the likes of Indiana Jones’ last hurrah, the latest from Martin Scorsese and even Johnny Depp’s return to acting with the somewhat-controversial premiere of Jeanne du Barry as the opening film.
The Great star, 25, arrived in good time for the first day of the festival as she stepeed out onto her balcony at Hotel Martinez on Tuesday morning.
Wearing a stunning cornflower blue strappy sheath dress with ruffled fishtail hem, Elle accessorised her dress with heels and a matching scarf around her neck to complete her look by New York label Khaite.
She was seen smiling out onto the horizon as she leant on the wrought iron balcony railings with her blonde hair loose and a slick of red lipstick on.

At one point she fluffed up her hair for the pictures, as well as posing with her head over one shoulder.
Her balcony was handily right by big billboard posters for the film festival, with her hotel situated in the heart of the action on the famous Croisette.
Elle’s speedy change of outfit for day one of promotional duties was also impressive given that she had landed at Nice airport just a matter of hours earlier.
Stylist Samantha McMillen and members of the star’s make-up and hair team were quick to post the pictures from their photo shoot to Instagram, revealing the stunning vista behind Elle.

Hollywood star Michael Douglas, 78, has already been spotted at at the Palais des Festivals too, looking smart and smiley in a navy suit and partially unbuttoned blue shirt.
He is due to recieve a special honorary Palme d’Or for a career that already includes two Oscars, a Golden Globe and films such as Basic Instinct, Fatal Attraction and Romancing the Stone.
Michael has also recently enjoyed a foray into the Marvel Cinematic Universe thanks to the Ant-Man franchise, which has seen him finally in family-friendly, non R-rated movies – something he called ‘a pleasure’.
