Stella Maxwell turned up the heat as she stepped out in a sizzling black ensemble on day five of the Cannes Film Festival on Saturday. 

The model, 35, slipped into a bra-flashing black lace crop top and coordinating black leather trousers, turning heads as she posed for snaps outside the H๏τel Martinez.

Stella looked incredible in the form-fitting outfit, which she teamed with black trainers, while she also clutched onto a black jacket and a black handbag.

The Belgian beauty left her blonde locks loose, while shielding her eyes from the sun with a pair of trendy black shades.

Her outing comes just a day after she celebrated turning 35, with the beauty seen with a huge chocolate cake on her Instagram as she celebrated with pals.  

Stella joins a number of big names that have been seen out and about in the French resort town this week ahead of the evening’s glitzy events.

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 will be back, too, including Tom Cruise (Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning), Robert De Niro – who´s to receive an honorary Palme d´Or 49 years after Taxi Driver premiered in Cannes – and Quentin Tarantino, 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.
