Emma Stone and Pedro Pascal pose on Cannes red carpet for Eddington premiere
Stone, best known for Easy A, Poor Things and the musical La La Land, was wearing a white textured gown with emerald earrings and slicked back hair.
She was seen chatting to her co-star Pascal on the red carpet, who was dressed in an all-black suit, while Butler, who was in black tie, left the carpet momentarily to greet fans and smile for selfies.
Joker star Joaquin Phoenix also sported a black tie and posed for photographs on the red carpet alongside American director Ari Aster.
Aster wrote the film and is best known for the thriller Midsommar, the psychological horror Hereditary and the dark comedy Beau Is Afraid, which also stars Phoenix.
Western drama Eddington is set during the Covid-19 pandemic and follows a stand-off between small town sheriff Joe Cross, played by Phoenix, who faces mayor Ted Garcia, played by Pascal, in May 2020.
The tension sparks volatility in the town, pitting neighbours against one another in Eddington, New Mexico.
Butler, known for his portrayal of Elvis Presley in the 2022 musical drama biopic, plays Vernon Jefferson Peak, who appears to give an impassioned speech in the trailer of the upcoming film.
Also attending the premiere were US actress Angelina Jolie, Succession star Jeremy Strong and Black Swan's Natalie Portman.
Babygirl actor Harris Dickinson and his girlfriend, singer Rose Gray, also attended the premiere and posed together on the red carpet.
Eddington is due to come out in cinemas on July 18 in the US.

Fans have just days to watch ‘perfect' rom-com that swept board at Oscars
A rom-com musical that earned its main star a Best Actress Oscar is available on Netflix - but not for much longer. A romantic musical that dazzled critics, stormed the awards season and left audiences swooning is about to vanish from BBC iPlayer. La La Land (2016), the film that reignited the movie musical for a new generation, will leave the platform on June 9. Damien Chazelle's film is a full-hearted tribute to old Hollywood, youthful ambition, and the romanticising of dreams that don't come true. Starring Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling, the film follows aspiring actress Mia and jazz pianist Sebastian as they navigate the highs and heartbreaks of chasing stardom in Los Angeles. Their romance, full of vintage flourishes and spontaneous song, plays out against the backdrop of a city where every barista is auditioning, and every traffic jam could become a dance number. The opening sequence - a musical number set on a gridlocked LA freeway - became an instant classic and set the tone for a film that blends fantasy and realism. Chazelle, who had just come off Whiplash, directed with a master's eye for style and rhythm. But La La Land's emotional power comes largely from its two leads. Gosling oozes cool as the jazz purist with a dream of owning his own club, while Stone brings warmth and fragility to Mia, a woman always on the cusp of both failure and greatness. At the Oscars, La La Land famously won six awards - including Best Director and Best Actress for Stone - and briefly claimed Best Picture before the now-infamous envelope mix-up, which ended up seeing Moonlight take the biggest prize. That viral moment aside, the film's impact was undeniable: a critical and commercial triumph, and the highest-grossing original live-action musical of all time at the time of release. On Rotten Tomatoes, where it holds a sparkling 91% score, viewers still sing its praises. One reviewer said: 'La la Land truly depicts the atmosphere that Hollywood brings to the world, everyone with their ambitions trying to bring them to life, but at what cost". Another added: 'From the way it was written and portrayed by the actors to the way it was received, it's all amazing. I really enjoyed watching this movie because of its colours and shots - you can really see that somebody put effort and heart into this." A third wrote simply: 'Masterpiece. My favourite musical of all time. My favourite movie of all time." The soundtrack - with songs like 'City of Stars' and 'Audition (The Fools Who Dream)' - became a sensation in its own right. Justin Hurwitz's original score, paired with lyrics by Pasek and Paul, brought a new wave of jazz-infused ballads into the public mind, and helped secure the film's legacy. If you've somehow never seen it, or just want to revisit Mia and Sebastian's story under the golden Los Angeles sky, the clock is ticking: La La Land is available to stream on BBC iPlayer, but only until June 9.

Marisa Abela and Harris Dickinson star in Audible Pride And Prejudice adaption
Bafta winner Abela, who stars in BBC Two drama Industry, will play romantic heroine Elizabeth Bennet, while Babygirl actor Dickinson will play her suitor Mr Darcy in the production, which will be released on September 9. Abela, 28, said of her role: 'Elizabeth Bennet is one of the most fiercely intelligent and iconic characters in literature, and stepping into her shoes has been an incredible honour. 'What I love about this adaptation is how it lets us hear her inner world in such a vivid, intimate way — it feels both timeless and fresh. 'Recording this with such a phenomenal cast and team was a true joy, and I can't wait for listeners to experience it.' The audiobook will also star Will Poulter as Mr Wickham, Jessie Buckley as Caroline Bingley and Bill Nighy as Mr Bennet. Dickinson, 28, added: 'Playing Mr Darcy was an amazing experience. I've always known him as this iconic character, but getting to really dive into the novel through this process gave me a whole new appreciation for him and the world. 'Being part of such a talented cast made it even better. It's a real privilege to be part of something so timeless.' The rest of the cast includes Glenn Close, who will be taking on the role of Lady Catherine De Bourgh, Marianne Jean-Baptiste as Mrs Bennet and David Gyasi as Mr Gardiner. Pride And Prejudice will be released in English, Castilian Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Brazilian Portuguese, with each version featuring a local cast. Aurelie de Troyer, head of regional content for Europe at Audible, said: 'It's remarkable how Pride And Prejudice has stood the test of time globally to be one of every generation's favourite love stories. 'Lulu Raczka's script is thrilling and conveys all of Jane Austen's energy in an engaging, modern way. 'Through the intimacy of audio, we have the unique ability to make the passion and romance truly electric and Marisa Abela and Harris Dickinson's chemistry as Elizabeth and Darcy is undeniable.' Audible says the new version is 'faithful to the original text', and features 'a unique interior perspective from Elizabeth'. The original novel was published by Austen in 1813, and has been adapted a number of times for film, television and theatre. Arguably the best known of these is the 1995 BBC TV version starring Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth. A 2005 film adaptation starred Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen. In April, Netflix announced that Olivia Colman, Emma Corrin and Jack Lowden would star in a Pride And Prejudice series on the streaming platform.
