Keira Knightley is the epitome of Parisian chic in a tweed gown as she double dates with glam Kirsten Dunst and their husbands at star-studded Louvre gala in the French capital
The couple posed up a storm at the star-studded event where they double dated with fellow married couple Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons.
Black Doves star Keira, 40, was the epitome of sophistication in a white tweet gown which boasted black lapels and statement silver buttons.
Still rocking her new shorter hairstyle, the dress also featured racy split and she completed the look with dazzling diamond earrings.
Meanwhile Klaxon's musician James, 41, who shares daughters Edie, ten, and six-year-old Delilah with his wife, looked dapper in a classic black tuxedo and shades.
Spiderman star Kirsten, 43, was also dressed to impress in a silver metallic gown which was cinched at her waist with a gold buckled belt.
The stunner forwent jewellery letting the sparkly ensemble speak for itself as she cosied up to her suit and booted actor husband, 37.
Together the couple are parents to sons sons Ennis, seven, and four-year-old James.
Also on the guest list was German movie star Diane Kruger, 48, who turned heads in a flowing ruffled look.
The gala was in celebration of the centennial for the 1925 International Exhibition of Decorative Arts, with Oscar winning movie director Sofia Coppola serving as Artistic Director.
According to Harper's Bazar, as well as a VIP guest list, the bash was also accessible to anyone who purchased a ticket, unlike New York's Met Gala.
In statement Sofia said: 'I am honoured to be entrusted with the artistic direction of the Bal d'Été at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris.'
'This city is my beloved second home, so to celebrate this icon of French culture is especially inspiring to me.'
Earlier this month it was revealed Keira's companies make her a whopping £25million.

Keira said in 2014 that said she gave herself a yearly salary of £30,000 to stop her losing touch with her less affluent friends.
But The Pirates Of The Caribbean star should give herself a pay rise as her treasure chest is bursting.
New accounts have shown there is a whopping £7.1million in profits at the 40-year-old actress's company Ponder Rights, including £411,000 earned in 2024.
Its riches sit alongside £9.7million held in performing arts company KCK Boo, as well as £7.8million worth of properties held in nominee company Charlotte Road - that's a total of almost £25million.
Explaining her frugality, Keira said: 'Living an [expensive] lifestyle means you can't hang out with people who don't live that lifestyle. It alienates you.'
'Some of my best, most hilarious times, have been in the least luxurious places.'
Keira is famously frugal - and when she shops at her local Tesco with her husband they have been known to use separate self-service checkouts.
The actress lives in a £4million North London mansion with her family. She bought the pad using a £2.3million loan from her own company.

Now that's what you call a burner phone! Creepy case is covered in fake SKIN that burns just like human flesh when exposed to UV
From sparkly plastic cases to the classic Boomer-favourite wallet case, phone cases already come in a range of weird and wonderful styles. But the latest case is arguably the most unusual one yet. O2 has joined forces with pioneering Creative Technologist, Marc Teyssier, on a new phone case, which is designed to mimic human skin. Dubbed the 'Skincase', the creepy case is 3D-printed using silicone, which means it not only looks like human skin, but also feels like it. Available in four skintones, the Skincase features special pigments that change colour when exposed to UV – just like our skin burning in the sun. O2 hopes it will remind holidaymakers to take as much notice of their skin while on holiday as they do their phone. 'Our phones are objects we don't expect to change and to react in a humane way,' Mr Teyssier said. 'By creating a tangible, visceral reaction to UV exposure, together with O2, the Skincase not only raises awareness of sun safety towards but highlights how sun protection is an undeniable priority.' Europe has seen record-breaking temperatures this week, as a deadly heatwave sweeps the continent. Spain recorded its hottest June day on record at the weekend, with 46C recorded in El Granado, in the Andalucían province of Huelva. Meanwhile, a new record high for June was also recorded in Mora in Portugal on Sunday, at 46.6C (116F), according to the national meteorological agency. With many Brits counting down to their European breaks, O2 set out to find a way to remind these holidaymakers about sun safety. 'Holidays should be about creating unmissable moments, bringing home souvenirs and making memories – not about roaming bills and sunburn,' said Christian Hindennach, Chief Commercial Officer at Virgin Media O2. 'With mobiles being such an essential part of everyday life, and while on holiday as our research shows, we've created the Skincase to demonstrate in real time just how severe the effects of sunburn can be, and to promote awareness of vital sun safety among holidaymakers.' To create the case, Mr Teyssier combined silicone with a UV-reacting pigment, and fed the mix through a 3D printer. To make it look as lifelike as possible, the researcher even etched lines into the synthetic skin, making it look like the palm of a hand. To create the case, Mr Teyssier combined silicone with a UV-reacting pigment, and fed the mix through a 3D printer When it's inside or in the shade, the case is either beige, tan, or dark brown, depending on the design. However, when you take it outside, or shine a UV light on it, it quickly changes colour - turning either pink or darker brown. Unfortunately, the phone case is still a prototype, and it remains unclear when, or if it will go on sale in the UK. This isn't the first time that Mr Teyssier has come out with a skin-inspired phone case. Back in 2019, the researcher developed a skin-like phone case that r esponded to different forms of human contact such as tickling, caressing and pinching. Speaking at the time, he said: 'This skin has a subtle surface texture – the sensing is performed in the dermis and the hypodermis layer (fat layer) and the elasticity is what allows us to perform expressive gestures such as pinching.'

Ex-Corrie star Georgia May Foote hints at divorce after two years of marriage as she wipes all traces of husband Kris from her social media
Ex-Coronation Street star Georgia May Foote has hinted she is no longer with husband Kris Evans after removing all traces of him from social media. The actress - who also competed in Strictly Come Dancing in 2015 - married Kris in an intimate ceremony back in 2023. However it looks like their relationship could be over, with the couple reportedly 'heading for a divorce'. 'Georgia's marriage to Kris seems to be over,' a source told The Sun. They added: 'It's on the rocks.' It's claimed Georgia, 34, is 'looking to the future' amid their marital woes. Georgia has reportedly removed her wedding ring and wiped all traces of the musician from her Instagram - including glossy snaps from their wedding day. MailOnline has contacted a representative for Georgia rep for comment. The soap star looked nothing short of sensational in a beaded fishtail gown as the couple said 'I do' in a lavish log cabin-style venue back in 2023. At the time, Georgia shared a sweet message ahead of her wedding. She said: 'I am about to marry my best friend. The person who makes me a better person. Didn't think I would find someone who would love me for me but I did it,' Georgia penned as she gushed over her partner. 'Thanks to all my people who showed up for me this weekend. I had a ball, and I'm forever grateful to you all for loving me for me too. Here is to the last month of being a Foote.' In 2021 Georgia announced Kris had popped the question in a stunning Instagram snap showing the couple of three years posing on a beach in Gran Canaria while she held her hand aloft to show off her ring. Alongside the snap, she added a caption reading: '30/12/2021. Mrs Evans to be. Of course I am still crying. '@krisevansmusic I love you beyond words and I am honoured you have chosen me' and tagged her location as 'Cloud Nine'. Georgia went on to share a shot on her Instagram stories showing her stunning ring, which featured a band jam-packed with diamonds. On his own Instagram, Kris revealed the couple were on holiday in Gran Canaria by sharing a smouldering poolside shot and wishing his fans 'Merry Krismas'. The stunner, who played Katy Armstrong on Corrie, previously dated her Strictly Come Dancing partner Giovanni Pernice and George Alsford.
