Inside the Mission Impossible premiere as Tom Cruise fans queue for over 6 hours
Tom Cruise fans were so eager to see his new Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning film that they queued for over six hours outside of the Cannes Film Festival on Wednesday evening
Eager Tom Cruise fans were sat outside of the Cannes Lumiere Theatre over six hours before the Cannes Film Festival premiere of his new movie, Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning.
The movie premiered on Wednesday evening, with stars such as Eva Longoria, Bella Hadid and Andie MacDowell joining Tom, Hannah Waddingham and the rest of the film's cast in walking the red carpet.
And while the A-list may have all casually rocked up for the 6:45pm kick off, many others got to the theatre that morning to get in the 'last minute' line - an area where those without tickets can wait and may be able to fill spare seats at the premiere.
But with the premiere's strict black tie dress code, it meant the waiting fans spent all day under the French sun in tuxedos and gowns - with many sitting on the ground in their best ensembles.
On the other hand, the A-list guests were promptly escorted from their beachfront hotels - Hotel Martinez, JW Marriott, Carlton Cannes and Hotel Barrière Le Majestic Cannes, to name a few - in blacked-out BMW cars.
And while it may have looked glamorous from the glossy pictures, the red carpet wasn't for the weak as crowds of fans flocked by the barriers to catch a glimpse of the celebrities.
Despite the carpet's strict 'no selfie' policy, those lucky enough to get on there with the famous faces did sneak some snaps from the carpet.
Once they had walked the carpet and headed up the famous red stairs into the theatre, it was time for Tom and the rest of the cast to take their seat near the front of the screen, while successful fans who had waited outside for hours were escorted to the very back of the theatre.
The premiere came hours after the film's cast gathered above the theatre for a photocall, with Tom waving to fans on his way into the building around 12pm.
Donning a burgundy co-ord, Tom smiled for pictures and said hello to the waiting crowds from a distance before chatting with his co-stars.
But making a much more understated departure, he and co-star Hannah Waddingham left through the side door and were promptly driven back to their hotels to prepare for the evening.
With a busy schedule, Mission Impossible is heading to London's Leicester Square this evening for the global premiere. A number of famous faces are expected to attend, with Tom and the cast taking a quick trip from the Cote D'Azur to be there.

Win Son Bakery
In Williamsburg, Josh Ku and Trigg Brown had already made their stake on the corner of Montrose and Graham Avenues, with their full-service Taiwanese restaurant Win Son. But as their restaurant started to trend, they decided they would open a casual affair across the street, opening Win Son Bakery with Jesse Shapell and pastry chef Danielle Spencer in 2019. Years later, the bakery has become a favorite of the neighborhood due to its Taiwanese fare crossed with French and American influences. The first meal of the day starts with a riff on a BEC that we can get behind. Subbing bread for crispy fried and yet still chewy scallion pancakes, the pancakes are folded with Havarti, bacon, eggs and cheese. Plus, each sandwich comes with a gingery sauce for dipping. Lunch continues with fried chicken and shrimp on milk buns and snow pea salads with tofu skin. No matter what, a visit should always include an order of both (yeah, we said it, both!) made-to-order donuts: the millet mochi donut and the fermented red rice donut. Once you get a bite of that QQ texture, you'll understand why. The vibe: There are plenty of tables and stools here, but they are constantly in use, especially during the morning time. Luckily, the residents of Williamsburg know when it is time to give up a table, so you won't have to wait long to snag a seat. The food: Mornings call for the meaty Pork Fan Tuan or the savory Scallion Pancake BEC. Like we said, the donuts are non-negotiable—you have to order them and that's final.

‘You'll upstage the bride' people fume as wedding guest shows off very revealing dress that's ‘way too fancy'
And scroll down to see which celebs have been breaking the rules too FROCK NO 'You'll upstage the bride' people fume as wedding guest shows off very revealing dress that's 'way too fancy' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A FASHIONISTA has come under fire after showing off her wedding guest outfit that trolls insist will ''upstage the bride''. Wedding season has well and truly arrived, which means many people have been taking to social media to share their stylish frocks and gowns. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 People have accused this wedding guest of 'upstaging the bride' with this dress Credit: Not known, clear with picture desk But one woman has left people demanding she changes her outfit for a close pal's garden wedding. The dress code detailed in the digital invite asked guests to "get just a little bit fancy" with chinos listed as an option for men and "dress/skirts" for female attendees. From this brief, the woman opted for a sleeveless floor length silver satin dress with a deep plunging V-neck. And even she seems unsure about her choice, after sharing a picture of her final look in the Wedding Dress & DIY Facebook page. Alongside the snap, she wrote: "Is this too intense to wear as a guest It's at a garden venue inspired by the French countryside. "I'm concerned this is a bit too much for the venue/garden vibes.. and potentially even a little too close to white? "The bride is a close family friend but I don't want to bother her when she has so much on her mind. "Bridesmaids are wearing burgundy red. Please help me out here; suitable attire or too much?" Her post quickly racked up almost 1,000 comments with plenty of fashion fans having their say. Not only did people warn her that it was "too revealing" and would take attention away from the bride, but others claimed its colour broke a basic rule because it looked near-white. Frankie Bridge slammed by fans again for SHEER wedding guest dress that's 'too much' and will 'upstage the bridge' Wearing ivory as a wedding guest is often considered a cardinal sin and the ultimate insult to the bride. One person said: "Too close to white and it looks too good. You'll show up the bride! Don't wear it to a wedding!" A second wrote: "So you want to wear a wedding dress to somebody else's fairly casual wedding…I think you already know the answer…" A third fumed "no, you'll upstage the bride" while someone claimed: "Too revealing for a will be on you not the bride." "Nope it's to fancy for what the invite says and also it looks like you're the bride", chimed in a fifth. Wedding Guest Outfit Etiquette If you're struggling to decided on a dress to see you through wedding season, here's a few rules on what not to wear so you don't get in trouble. Folklore says that wearing red at a wedding means you slept with the groom. Casual attire like jeans and flip flops should always be avoided. Any colour that could be picked up as white or cream - even if it's not. Most would agree that your cleavage needs to be covered. Wearing white is a massive no-no if you're not the bride. And a sixth echoed: "I definitely thought you were asking if it was too plungy to wear as a bride... then realised you're a guest." Others, however, jumped in to support the wedding guest and urged her to wear the show-stopping frock. One said: "Am I the only one saying the dress is fine for the dress code instructions? Lol." "I'd wear this gown; it's beautiful and you look beautiful in it", another insisted. A third agreed: "It's gorgeous. Not white. Wear it. Always better to be too dressed up than too dressed down." Meanwhile, a fourth wrote: "I don't think it matters if it's more casual or not. Just wear it if you like it and don't care what ppl thing if you feel beautiful or sexy in it. It looks amazing on you." Celebs aren't exempt from making fashion faux pas at weddings either. When Dani Dyer wed footballer Jarrod Bowen last week, guest and fellow Love Islander Georgia Steel was slated for wearing what looked like a revealing white dress to her pal's big day. After Georgia posted a snap on TikTok of the lace-trimmed Miss Circle number she wore, the trolls came out in force, bashing her for picking what was in fact a 'soft beige' dress. 'Wearing white to a wedding?' questioned one, while another waded in with: 'Way too bridal for a wedding.' And Georgia isn't alone. Two months ago, White Lotus actress Sydney Sweeney came under fire for the 'inappropriate' dress she wore to her Anyone But You co-star Glenn Powell's sister's wedding. She chose a cleavage-baring corset-style dress from V Chapman in a very pale blue. Fans thought the colour was an issue. Comments included: 'That is not an appropriate shade of blue for a wedding' and 'The number one [rule] of a wedding is don't wear anything close to white.'

Lewis Hamilton risks wrath of his beloved Roscoe after he is seen petting Chief Mouser Larry the Cat at meeting with PM
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SIR LEWIS HAMILTON has risked the wrath of his beloved dog Roscoe... after he was seen petting Larry the Cat. Formula One superstar Hamilton is well known to be a socially conscious person, and leads his Mission 44 project to support young people in their education.

During his visit, the seven-time F1 world champion took some time out from the meetings to introduce himself to Number 10's Chief Mouser, Larry. Larry has served in the role since 2011 after being adopted by then PM David Cameron. Born in 2007, the tabby is as old as Hamilton's F1 career when he started out with McLaren in the same year. READ MORE IN F1 MAX FUR-STAPPEN F1 stars' pets from driver with THIRTEEN cats to Insta dog and a REINDEER Taking to social media, the (un)official Larry the Cat account shared a photo of Hamilton petting the feline as he laid on his bed by a window. He captioned the post: "Thanks for the stroke. @LewisHamilton - love from the sleeping cat to the prancing horse x." It was a bit of a change of pace for Hamilton, who is usually seen alongside his French bulldog Roscoe. And one fan on social media was quick to point out: "If Roscoe ever sees this picture he will never forgive LH." BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK However, Roscoe's most recent Instagram post showed him being given a tasty treat, showing Hamilton knows the way to the heart of man's best friend. Hamilton has not had the best interaction with cats in the past, revealing last year how he had black cats "thrown" at him. Lewis Hamilton's beloved dog Roscoe diagnosed with pneumonia as carer gives health update He also landed himself in trouble with animal rights activists in 2016 when he was seen playing with a tiger and jaguar during a visit to Mexico City's Black Jaguar-White Tiger Foundation. But most fans were loving the crossover of two British icons, with one saying: "Two legends in the same photo." A second said: "Oh what an honour! (For Lewis)." A third added: "Prime Minister Larry deigns to share some of his aura with Lewis. I respect that." Another joked: "Ahh I guess Lewis's demands to Sir Keir Starmer proved futile and Lewis went over Keir's head to the real power in Number 10." The Ferrari star admitted last month that he worries about his 12-year-old pooch following a recent battle he had with pneumonia. Hamilton said: "This is a time where every time I get a text message from the lady who looks after him, my heart stops for a second. "Because I'm thinking, 'What's next?' But he's fine now, fortunately. He is doing well. 'I never felt like my voice was heard' - Lewis Hamilton on education reform Hamilton's appearance at Downing Street was for more than just saying hello to Larry the Cat, but in fact was down to his goal of pushing for education reform in the UK. On his visit, Hamilton said: "I struggled in school and never felt like my voice was heard, that's why I know first-hand that ensuring every student feels they belong in school is vital. "I'm grateful that, off the back of this meeting, the government has committed to working with Mission 44 to enact change focused on making the education system more inclusive. "I'm so proud of how far Mission 44 has come in such a short space of time and the opportunity we have to transform the lives of vulnerable students across the country." In a previous interview with the Sunday Times, Hamilton revealed: "When I was in my 20s, I had some really difficult phases. "I've struggled with mental health throughout my life. [I've had] depression. "From a very early age, when I was, like, 13. "I think it was the pressure of the racing and struggling at school. "The bullying. I had no one to talk to.' "He's 12 and a half years old, so he's an old boy and it's unusual for them to live that long." The duo have practically been inseparable for a decade, and even appear together on the front cover of a recent edition of Vogue. When quizzed on Roscoe's next appearance, Hamilton said: "I really want to take him to Silverstone, and particularly Monza, this year. "I plan to put him in a red cape and outfit. I was with him before Miami and he still wants to play. "He's still got that youthful spirit. But he does like to sleep a lot." Roscoe's trainer, Kirstin McMillan, nursed the vegan canine back to full fitness after he fell ill in April, as he was treated with medication and specialist acupuncture treatment. Meanwhile, Hamilton has been struggling to extract the best out of his Ferrari machinery, and - outside of a Sprint Race win - is yet to score a podium with the Scuderia after joining them over the winter. The Brit appeared close to tears during an interview with Sky Sports F1 after he finished P6 at the Spanish Grand Prix. He later showed his class by apologising for snapping at reporter Rachel Brooks. Hamilton will have a chance at redemption at the Canadian Grand Prix on June 15. 5
