Charli XCX had many fans confused as she made her highly-anticipated entrance into the Cannes Film Festival Magnum party, but failed to crack a smile to waiting guests.
Charli XCX put on a stern display as she arrived to the Cannes Film Festival Magnum party on Thursday, placing her head down and ensuring she was shielded by security when walking through the invite-only bash.
Fans had gathered around the event's entrance to await the entrance of Charli, but the BRAT singer, 32 - who was a standout at this year's BRIT Awards - didn't appear best pleased when she eventually made her arrival around midnight, three hours after the party began.
‌
The bash, which was held at Magnum Beach on the famous La Croisette, saw stars such as Georgia May Jagger, Jerry Hall, MAFS' Evelyn Ellis and several models and influencers in attendance.
‌
Model Georgia, whose dad is rocker Mick Jagger, appeared to be in high spirits for the bash as she enjoyed making her own Magnum ice cream and posed for snaps with her famous mum.
But many, including the sprawling crowds outside of the party and TikTok famous stars such as Max Balegde, were gathered to see Charli - who has teamed up with Magnum for this year's festival, with the party even offering BRAT themed ice creams.
Despite the crowd hoping to catch Charli's eye with a smile, a wave, or even a selfie, the pop-star entered the bash with a stern face and kept her sunglasses on as she appeared to ignore cheers. Charli even shook her head when a security guard offered her two Magnum ice creams to hold on her way in and skipped past the red carpet.
With many underwhelmed at the fleeting entrance after waiting eagerly by the door, it seemed that Charli perked up later in the party as she went on to enjoy a dance - and picked up a milk chocolate Magnum.
‌
The singer, who was joined by a posse of close friends for the bash, donned a fitted white corset and a mini skirt for the evening and kept her eyes shielded by black sunglasses.
It's possible that her frosty entrance was due to the chaotic crowds outside of the party, with the invite-only affair circled with hopeful fans attempting to get themselves into the event or catch a glimpse of the guests.
Inside, there was a dipping bar where guests could create their own Magnum - dipped in chocolate, covered in three toppings and drizzled with a sweet sauce of their choice. While ice creams were also being handed out on trays, with plenty of free drinks flowing through the soiree.
Magnum, who throw the party annually during Cannes Film Festival, have taken over the JW Marriott beach club Palais Stephanie Beach for this year's edition of the two-week event.
