Charli XCX turned heads as she made a stunning entrance at a Magnum party in Cannes on Thursday evening. 

The British singer, 32, who is currently in the city for the 78th Film Festival, looked incredible as she put on a busty display in a black-and-white striped corset. 

Flashing a hint of her taut midriff, the beauty teamed her top with a skimpy navy mini skirt featuring a distressed hem, all while enjoying a Magnum ice cream.

The 365 hitmaker toted her essentials in a mini black shoulder bag as she mingled with guests at the star-studded event. 

Finishing off her look, the singer styled her long, dark tresses in loose curls and added a trendy pair of black sunglᴀsses. 

Charli’s outing comes hours after she put on a leggy display in a white mini dress as she stepped out on day three of the festival.

This year’s Cannes Film Festival is taking place in the wake of Trump’s vow to enact tariffs on international films.

Cannes, where filmmakers, sales agents and journalists gather from around the world, is the Olympics of the big screen, with its own golden prize, the Palme d´Or, to give out at the end. 

Filmmakers come from nearly every corner of the globe to showcase their films while dealmakers work through the night to sell finished films or packaged productions to various territories.

‘You release a film into that Colosseum-like situation,’ says Brazilian director Kleber Mendonça Filho, who´s returning to Cannes with ‘The Secret Agent, a thriller set during Brazil´s dictatorship. 

‘You’ve got to really prepare for the whole experience because it´s quite intense – not very far from the feeling of approaching a roller coaster as you go up the steps at the Palais.’

This year, the likes of Kristen Stewart (The Chronology of Water), Scarlett Johansson (Eleanor the Great) and Harris Dickinson (Urchin) will all be unveiling their feature directorial debuts in Cannes’ Un Certain Regard sidebar section.

Many Cannes veterans returned, too, including Tom Cruise (Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning) and Robert De Niro – who received an honorary Palme d´Or 49 years after Taxi Driver premiered in Cannes. 

Meanwhile, Quentin Tarantino is also set to pay tribute to low-budget Western director George Sherman.

The much-anticipated eighth and final instalment of Mission: Impossible was one of the earlier premieres on this year’s Cannes calendar, with its glitzy red carpet having taken place on Wednesday, May 14. 

Meanwhile, Scarlett’s directorial debut, Eleanor The Great, will be unveiled on May 20.

However, in the wake of his legal battle with former co-star Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni is not expected to attend. 

Over recent years, the star-studded extravaganza has arguably won more attention for the outfits worn by its celebrity guests than the roster of feature films being screened on the Croisette. 

But new nudity rules, devised for ‘the sake of decency,’ have been implemented at this year’s festival. 

According to organisers, the austere move is an attempt to stifle the celebrity trend for ‘naked dresses’ – namely provocative outfits that reveal considerably more than they conceal – on the red carpet.

‘For decency reasons, nudity is prohibited on the red carpet, as well as any other area of the festival,’ states a Cannes festival document.

‘The festival welcoming teams will be obligated to prohibit red carpet access to anyone not respecting these rules.’

The surprise new policy features in a recent festival-goers charter – released with a series of outlines regarding expected public behaviour. 

Guests are expected to converge on the Grand Auditorium Louis Lumière for some of the highest-profile film screenings across a packed two-week schedule in Cannes. 

It’s understood that the iconic venue now adopts a more conservative dress code, with suits, dinner jackets, and floor-length evening gowns generally favoured over headline-grabbing ensembles. 

Classic little black dresses, cocktail dresses, pant-suits, dressy tops and elegant sandals, ‘with or without a heel’, will also be permitted.
