Emma Mackey looks incredible in a figure hugging black dress at the Alpha photocall after debuting new bob hairdo during Cannes Film Festival
Emma Mackey wore a sophisticated long black dress as she attended the Alpha photocall during Cannes Film Festival on Tuesday.
The British actress, 29, looked incredible in the strappy number which boasted an eye catching white bow on the bust.
Emma elevated her frame in a pair of towering black stilettos and kept her accessorises to a minimum.
The Sex Education star styled her new brunette bob loose allowing it to blow in the wind as she posed up a storm for photos at Palais des Festivals.
Emma beamed as she posed looking over her shoulder at photographers before being joined by her co-stars.
Alpha was well-received at the festival, receiving a 12-minute standing ovation but the screening nearly came to a halt after an audience member suffered a medical emergency.
According to Variety, about an hour into the film, attendees in the balcony began waving their phone torches and calling out for a doctor.
Paramedics then arrived, and despite calls for the screening to be paused, carried an audience member out on a stretcher while the movie continued to play.
No further details have been released but the medical emergency is not thought to be related to the content of the body horror film, which had not shown anything graphic by that point.
MailOnline has contacted Cannes Film Festival for comment.
At the premiere, Emma ensured all eyes would be on her as she hit the red carpet in a glittering silver gown that clung to her toned figure and was adorned with thousands of sequins.
The Sex Education star looked in good spirits as she joined co-stars includingTahar Rahim and Melissa Boros and Palme d'Or-winning director Julia Ducournau on the red carpet before attending the premiere.
Alpha follows the tale of a troubled teenager (Mélissa Boros) and her single mother whose 'world collapses after Alpha one day returns from school with a tattoo on her arm'.
The film will be released in France on August 20.

Emma burst onto screens in 2019 as wild child Maeve in Sex Education.
The headmaster's daughter, who had a 'sheltered' upbringing as a 'bookish' Catholic schoolgirl, was working as a translator before landing her breakthrough in the racy Netflix series.
Emma was born in northwest France to a French father, a headmaster, and an English mother, a charity volunteer, moving to the UK aged 17 to study English Literature at Leeds University where she took part in amateur theatre productions.
The day before graduating, Emma made the decision to apply for drama schools in London and landed an agent a year later. Six months after that she was cast in Sex Education after five rounds of auditions.
At the time Emma was working as a translator and living with friends and family to save money.
'When I got off the phone I burst into tears and did a clichéd squeal,' she previously revealed. 'I called my mum and pretended to be very, very cool. Like, "Yeah, got this role, it's no big thing".'
Emma went on to land roles in Death on the Nile and Barbie.

Prince William urges world to help save seas as he joins Sir David Attenborough to discuss deteriorating oceans
PRINCE William will today urge the world to help save our seas — as he joins Sir David Attenborough to discuss deteriorating oceans. William is expected to call on everyone to 'think big in your actions' when he highlights the urgency of the situation in a landmark speech. 3 3 In the address in Monaco at the Blue Economy and Finance Forum, he will say: 'Let us act together with urgency and optimism while we still have the chance.' The father of three, 42, is there as founder of the Earthshot environmental prize which has 'Revive Our Oceans' as one of its themes. A Kensington Palace spokesman said: 'This speech is the Prince of Wales calling for action to save our oceans now. "The world is watching. This is him using his platform to call for more to be done sooner rather than later.' William sits down with Sir David, 99, to celebrate the environmentalist's new film, Ocean, which is released on streaming platforms today, World Oceans Day. The Prince asks: 'David, from what you've seen over the years, what state would you say the oceans are in right now?' He replies: 'The awful thing is it's hidden from you and from me and from most people. 'The thing I'm appalled by when I first saw the shots taken for this film are what we have done to the deep ocean floor is just unspeakably awful. "If you did anything remotely like it on land everybody was up in arms. If this film . . . just shifts public awareness, it will be very, very important. "And I can only hope that people who see it will recognise that something must be done before we destroy this great treasure.' Ocean with David Attenborough, official trailer Asked by the Prince if there are things deep down in the oceans 'we've never seen', he answers that it is 'beyond question'. They also discuss Sir David's decades of ocean exploration and the vital role the ocean has in supporting and sustaining life on Earth. Wills and Sir David also speak about the importance of remaining optimistic about ocean protection and the role younger people play. At the beginning of the film, Sir David has the Prince in stitches as he tries on a diving helmet used in filming 1990's The Trials of Life. They also inspect an underwater camera used in filming Ocean.

Shoppers go wild for Cadbury's new chocolate bar flavour on shelves at local store
SHOPPERS have been scrambling to taste a band new Cadbury chocolate bar as it hits store shelves. The new tasty treat has caught the eye of many consumers - but Cadbury has said it won't be around forever. 2 The Twirl White Dipped was teased by the company last month in a Facebook video. These bars are much like Cadbury's popular Twirls - but are coated with white chocolate instead. "OK but we've really outdone ourselves with this one," they told shoppers. They described the flavour as "unreal, indulgent, smooth, swirly, creamy, melty, new, and mouthwatering". But a few weeks on from its tantalising announcement, the chocolate bar has now been spotted in stores. Its presence was flagged by the popular Facebook account Newfoodsuk. The account posted: "Wow, these are outstanding - closest bar you'll ever get to a Cadbury Snowflake! "We spotted these at our local convenience store!" The bars hit shelves on June 2, but are only set to be available for a limited time. Katya Savelieva, Brand Manager for Twirl at Mondelez International, said: 'Cadbury Twirl has always been a fan favourite, so it's no surprise that limited editions like Cadbury Twirl Orange and Cadbury Twirl Mint had everyone talking. "With smooth white chocolate surrounding our iconic milk chocolate swirls, the new Twirl White Dipped is an indulgence you won't want to miss - grab it as soon as you can and experience Twirl like never before.' Twirl bar were first released in Ireland in 1985, as a single finger bar. They hit UK shelves two years later in its classic double finger form. How to save money on chocolate We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don't have to break the bank buying your favourite bar. Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs... Go own brand - if you're not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you'll save by going for the supermarket's own brand bars. Shop around - if you've spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it's cheaper elsewhere. Websites like let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you're getting the best deal. Look out for yellow stickers - supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they've been reduced. They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged. Buy bigger bars - most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar. So if you've got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger.
