Married At First Sight's 'hottest bride ever' Evelyn Ellis has awkward moment with model Bella Hadid at Cannes Film Festival
Evelyn Ellis has been getting up close and personal with some of the world's biggest stars this week as she attends the Cannes Film Festival in France.
But she suffered quite the gaffe on Tuesday when one close contact moment with international model Bella Hadid left her in an awkward position.
The Married At First Sight star, 29, shared a clip to Instagram which showed the American, 28, unwittingly using Evelyn as a backdrop for her paparazzi photos.
In the video, Evelyn was seated in the backseat of a car as Bella could be seen approaching with a gaggle of photographers through the tinted window.
Flaunting her figure in a skin-tight black dress, the model kept her eyes hidden behind a pair of designer sunglasses as she searched for a photo backdrop.
The blonde beauty could be seen pointing out the car and the sign, which had a picture of her, behind it before she took up position right in front of Evelyn's window.
Bella appeared to be unaware someone was waiting in the car as she posed for several photos with the vehicle against her back.
However, Evelyn didn't appear to be offended by the moment, but instead was excited to be so close to a huge star.
'I can now die happy because Bella Hadid used me as a backdrop,' she captioned the video alongside a skull emoji.
Evelyn posted another video of herself with a thumbs up as she quietly chuckled over the camera lights flashing outside her window to capture images of Bella.
The reality TV star turned up the heat on the French Riviera as she made a show-stopping appearance at the 78th Annual Cannes Film Festival this week.
Evelyn ensured she was the centre of attention as she graced the red carpet at the Opening Ceremony and premiere of Partir Un Jour (Leave One Day) in France.
The Aussie reality star joined a bevy of A-list luminaries including Eva Longoria, Heidi Klum and Leonardo DiCaprio.
Evelyn looked every inch the Hollywood siren in a dramatic, two-toned gown by Cappellazzo Couture.
This isn't the first time the glamorous TV bride has graced the red carpet as a special guest of L'Oréal.
While she was all smiles as she strutted through the event, Evelyn revealed on Instagram on Sunday she would miss boyfriend Duncan James while in Cannes.
Posting photos of herself outside the airport, she wrote: 'This little lady is off on a big adventure, but can now declare she will be a little unhinged without Duncan.'
The couple, who announced they were dating in May 2023 despite having been matched with different partners on MAFS, just celebrated their second anniversary.
Evelyn and Duncan, 40, stepped out for a romantic evening last month and shared a heartfelt tribute to social media.
Taking to Instagram, Duncan posted a sweet message alongside a series of glam snaps with Evelyn.
'2 years of loving you. Which is 730 days, and approximately 1,051,200 minutes of putting up with each other. Thank you, for being you x,' he wrote.
Evelyn cheekily responded in the comments with, 'We still got it,' proving the spark is very much alive between the fan-favourite couple.

Snoop Dogg says he hopes to open burger van at Celtic Park
Snoop Dogg says he hopes to set up a burger van at Celtic's stadium and wants to serve fans himself. The US rapper, 53, has described the football club's supporters as "special" and the best fans in European football. And Snoop, who played Glasgow 's OVO Hydro arena in 2023, has also said he strongly identifies with the club's mascot Hoopy the Hound. He said a fast-food van at Celtic Park would become a foodie "Paradise" which is a nickname for the ground in the Parkhead area of the city. Snoop told the Sunday Mail: "I would love to bring a pop-up burger [van] to a sports stadium to show fans that food at stadiums can be good. "It's got to be Celtic Park, man. The secret to a good burger is the love in the preparation. The ground beef has got to be mixed with some secret spices, then add a good quality cheese and some maple-cured bacon. "The Celtic fans are gonna love it, and to make sure they are just right, Snoop is going to be serving them himself." But he said he would not be taking his culinary ventures to Rangers - Celtic's Old Firm rivals at Ibrox. The Drop It Like It's Hot star told the paper: "Am I going to bring my burgers to Rangers as well? Nah, I think we will give that a miss." The musician has previously spoken of investing in Celtic, similar to Hollywood actor Ryan Reynolds's involvement with Wrexham FC. Snoop has already published a cookbook and claims to have spoken to chef Gordon Ramsay about a possible venture in Glasgow together. The keen sports fan worked as a correspondent for NBC at the Paris Olympics last year, and has launched two youth football leagues, as well as being a vocal advocate for pay equality for female athletes.

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez 'dial down the bling' on Venice wedding after furore around THAT all-female space flight... but it'll still cost nearly £10m, ALISON BOSHOFF reveals
The eyes of the world will inevitably be on Venice later this month when financial colossus Jeff Bezos marries fiancee Lauren Sanchez. Everyone in the Italian city is expecting a staggering display of wealth from Amazon-founder Bezos, with money to burn, and Ms Sanchez, who looks like she enjoys lighting the match. And yet, despite the huge wealth and profile of the couple and their celebrity guests, it can be revealed that this will be a publicity-shy and surprisingly small event. Modest, even. With fewer than 200 guests – a fraction of what was expected – and a final bill which is said to be less than £10million, it is clear that the bride and groom are dialling down on the bling. As an impeccably placed source tells me: 'The wedding has had a make-under.' Indeed, the event is going to cost the equivalent of loose change for the groom, who is worth $220billion and spends $34million a year just to run his yacht – the $500 million Koru. The yacht will be moored at San Basilio – the closest the giant vessel can get to the centre of Venice due to regulations to protect the city's fragile ecosystem – and be in sight of the Hotel Cipriani, where many guests will be lodged. It's thought Jeff, Lauren and their immediate families will stay on the nine-bedroom yacht. Other guests will be split between the Cipriani and Aman hotels nearby. The only famous couple definitely going are actor Orlando Bloom and his wife Katy Perry. Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian are invited, but their attendance has not been confirmed. Instead, the guests of honour will be Bezos' mum, Jackie, who had Jeff when she was 17, and his adoptive father and life-long inspiration, Mike Bezos. The island of San Giorgio Maggiore will potentially be the destination for the couple's nuptials The couple loaned him $245,000, their life savings, to start Amazon in 1995 and Mike, who now runs the Bezos family foundation, is a particularly impressive individual, having emigrated to the US alone from Cuba aged 16. So why the – relatively – humble plans? I understand part of the reason was the PR disaster of the all-female Blue Origin 'space flight' in April – when Lauren and her five crew, including Perry, donned skin-tight space suits to blast to the edge of the Earth's atmosphere. The project attracted huge criticism for being a meaningless stunt. I am told the couple have not sent paper or email invitations, the better to sail under the radar. And they have trimmed their guest list to the bare bones. 'It is very sweet, very understated,' says a guest. 'It is not an ostentatious blow out. 'They understand that the space flight criticism was bad for a reason and are responding to it by being less 'Marie Antoinette'.' The source adds: 'People really underestimate Lauren and Jeff. Truly, they are good people. They don't want the wedding to be a lightning rod for inequities in the world. It's just a wedding.' That's as maybe, but the celebrations are still expected to take place at jaw-droppingly beautiful – and exclusive – locations. Sources in Venice believe the nuptials will happen at the Fondazione Cini – a monastery on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore. Crucially, it will be free on June 25 – the most likely day of the wedding – as it is closed to the public on Wednesdays. Having twice hosted the G7 summit, it can offer complete security and privacy and is close to where the Koru will dock. Sources also expect celebrations at the palazzo apartment owned by Bezos' close friend Diane von Furstenberg. Local sources indicate that all 79 rooms of the fabled Hotel Cipriani have been block booked from June 24-26. A suite in high season costs around £20,000 a night. The Cipriani boasts the largest swimming pool in Venice and the Casanova gardens, where the infamous seducer used to meet his conquests. The couple are also believed to have booked out the Aman Canal Grande, the 24-bedroom palazzo where George Clooney tied the knot with lawyer Amal in 2014. Plans are being co-ordinated with the mayor of Venice's office to minimise disruption but some locals concerned about overtourism are planning protests. 'This city is not for sale, it is not a playground for the rich,' said activist Ruggero Tallon.
