Married At First Sight's 'hottest bride' Evelyn Ellis risks wardrobe malfunction in daring dress as she parties with Charli XCX at star-studded Magnum bash during Cannes Film Festival
Married At First Sight's Evelyn Ellis turned heads as she rubbed shoulders with A-listers at the star-studded Magnum party during the Cannes Film Festival on Thursday.
The 28-year-old reality TV star made a sizzling appearance on the red carpet in a sheer black mini dress adorned with oversized floral appliqués as she attended the event.
The daring frock featured thin spaghetti straps and scalloped edges, paired with pointed black heels and sheer knee-high stockings.
She accessorised with a diamond choker necklace, slicked-back hair and a black leather clutch, oozing sophistication.
Evelyn confidently posed for photographers as she joined a slew of celebrities at the glamorous event hosted by the ice cream brand.
Pop icon Charli XCX also made a bold statement in a monochrome corset-style top and ultra-mini black skirt that left little to the imagination.
The hitmaker, 31, paired the edgy look with towering strappy platform heels and a sleek black handbag, completing her ensemble with a bold red lip and tousled hair.
Meanwhile, model and It-girl Georgia May Jagger brought old Hollywood elegance to the soirée in a flowing ivory satin gown with a plunging neckline and asymmetric black floral detailing.
The daughter of Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger wore her blonde hair in soft waves and kept her makeup radiant and fresh, accessorising with a black clutch and pointed stilettos.
The sighting comes just days after Evelyn shared a clip to Instagram which showed Bella Hadid unwittingly using Evelyn as a backdrop for her paparazzi photos.
In the video, Evelyn was seated in the backseat of a car as Bella approached with a gaggle of minders and photographers.
Flaunting her figure in a skin-tight black dress, Bella kept her eyes hidden behind a pair of designer sunglasses as she searched for a photo backdrop.
The blonde beauty could be seen pointing at the car and the sign, which had a picture of her, 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 behind her.

However, Evelyn didn't appear to be offended by the awkward moment and 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.

Although 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.

Tony Awards 2025 WORST dressed list: Katie Holmes and Cynthia Erivo hit red carpet in bizarre looks
From over-the-top feathers and nearly naked looks to bright colors and clashing patterns, the 2025 Tony Awards has been filled with a slew of sartorial nightmares and fashion faux pas. The event, which is being hosted by Wicked star Cynthia Erivo and is set to honor the biggest stars and shows on Broadway, will kick off at 8pm EST/5pm PST and will stream live on CBS and Paramount+ with Showtime. Ahead of the ceremony, a slew of A-listers descended upon the red carpet at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. And while some wowed in glamorous dresses and stunning looks... others completely missed the mark with their ensembles. That's right, many of Hollywood's most elite failed to impress with their bizarre outfit choices at the glittering soiree. Katie Holmes worst dressed list as she hit the carpet in a boxy green top and an awkward pink skirt, seemingly channeling the movie Wicked with her color choice. Wicked star Cynthia came in a close second with her enormous tan corset top, which contained an intricate floral pattern. She paired the shirt - which was gigantic and fit awkwardly on her frame - with a floor-length silk skirt. Death Becomes Her star Megan Hilty donned a gold frock that had bizarre feathers all over the sleeves and skirt. Canadian TV personality Keltie Knight opted for a floor-length sparkly gown that had an enormous unicorn on it... and it just didn't work Model Anna Alimani arrived at the event in a sheer, lacy number, which left her undergarments on full display Hamilton actor Sydney James Harcourt walked the carpet in a dazzling, leopard print suit with a sheer patterned top underneath - and he had a little too much going on Canadian TV personality Keltie Knight opted for a floor-length sparkly gown that had an enormous unicorn on it... and it just didn't work. Hamilton star Phillipa Soo's one-shouldered white frock ensured all eyes would be on her... but for the wrong reasons. It contained a strange bow in the center of her chest area and a unflattering tiered skirt. Model Anna Alimani arrived at the event in a sheer, lacy number, which left her undergarments on full display. Hamilton actor Sydney James Harcourt walked the carpet in a dazzling, leopard print suit with a sheer patterned top underneath - and he had a little too much going on.

Minister accused of cosying up to Big Tech admits that Artificial Intelligence DOES lie
The Technology Secretary yesterday admitted that AI is 'not flawless' – but defended snubbing attempts to beef-up copyright protections. Peter Kyle acknowledged the fast-emerging technology 'does lie' as he insisted the Government would 'never sell downstream' the rights of artists in the UK. He also admitted 'mistakenly' saying his preferred option on AI and copyright was requiring rights-holders to 'opt out' of their material being used by Big Tech. Sir Elton John last week described the situation as an 'existential issue'. He has also branded the Technology Secretary 'a moron'. Mr Kyle has been accused of cosying up to Big Tech chiefs, meeting with Apple, Google, Amazon and Meta – Facebook 's owner – ten times in little more than three months. The Government is locked in a standoff with the House of Lords, which demands artists be offered immediate copyright protection as an amendment to the Data (Use and Access) Bill. Without this, the new law would hand a copyright exception to firms developing AI. Critics warn the Government's proposed 'opt out' system would allow the current 'Wild West' set-up, in which copyrighted material can be 'scraped' from the internet to 'train' AI models, to continue. Speaking to Sky News, Mr Kyle said: 'I mistakenly said [the opt-out clause] was my preferred option... I've now gone back to the drawing board on that.' When asked about the risk of AI producing unreliable content, Mr Kyle said: 'AI is not flawless... AI does lie, as it's based on human characteristics.' The Government has said it will address copyright issues after the 11,500 responses to its consultation on AI's impact have been reviewed, rather than in what it has branded 'piecemeal' legislation such as the Lords' amendment. UK film industry jobs at risk in tech revolution By Daily Mail Reporter The use of AI in the UK screen sector risks jobs, copyright breaches and creative integrity, a report has warned. The British Film Institute report, which analysed how the sector is using the technology, warned the industry must safeguard human creative control, with job losses likely as roles are replaced by AI. It warned that the 'primary issue' is the use of copyrighted material – such as film and TV scripts – in the training of AI models, without payment or the permission of rights-holders. The issue has been highlighted by the Mail's 'Don't let Big Tech steal it ' campaign, which calls for the Government to protect the UK's creative genius. Rishi Coupland, the BFI's director of research and innovation, said: 'AI could erode traditional business models, displace skilled workers and undermine trust in screen content.'

Hargitay said that she ended up giving him a hard time and went 'full Olivia Benson' on him, referring to her Law & Order: SVU character. 'I was like, "I don't want anything. I don't need anything from you... I have a dad",' she recalled telling him. 'There was something about loyalty. I wanted to be loyal to Mickey.'

She said that she gathered her sisters in Las Vegas for a private screening of the documentary before the premiere and recalled their emotional reactions. 'They just wept and wept and wept. These two women that I love so much — I made them secrets! It's so heartbreaking to me.' In the documentary, Hargitay explained why she was unveiling her family secret now and said that because she is now 61 years old, she felt she could finally tell the truth and didn't have to hide it anymore. 'I grew up where I was supposed to, and I do know that everyone made the best choice for me,' she said. 'I'm Mickey Hargitay's daughter — that is not a lie.'

She explained that she wanted to make the documentary to 'unburden all of us.'
