Robert Pattinson and Jennifer Lawrence shared a light-hearted moment on the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival on Saturday night after a wardrobe mishap.

The Twilight heartthrob, 38, looked every inch the leading man in a sharp black tux and slick bow tie as he hit the red carpet arm-in-arm with J-Law, 33, who wowed in a dramatic floor-sweeping ballgown.

But their grand entrance hit a tiny snag when Robert accidentally trod on the train of Jennifer’s voluminous dress, briefly stopping her in her tracks. 

Ever the pro, Jen turned with a gasp before the pair burst into laughter. They quickly regained composure, smiling as they continued down the red carpet together.

Jennifer stunned in the elegant strapless white dress, complete with a layered skirt and a gathered bodice that fanned out gracefully across her chest. 

She kept accessories minimal, pairing the look with classic black heels and sparkling diamond earrings.

Letting the gown take centre stage, she styled her hair in a sleek ballerina-style bun and opted for bold makeup, featuring a deep red lip and sultry, smokey eyes.

Both are at the festival to promote their film Die My Love, which tells the story of a young mother living in a rural area as she undergoes a battle with psychosis.

Die My Love is described as both a horror and a comedy and was directed by Lynne Ramsay, who was also present on the red carpet. 

It is notably Jennifer and Robert’s first film together. 

They both rose to fame in the 2010s, with Jennifer starring in film adaptations of The Hunger Games series as Katniss Everdeen and Robert Pattinson gaining worldwide fame for his role as Edward Cullen in Twilight.  

Die My Love is based on a 2017 novel by Argentine writer, Ariana Harwicz, which details a new mum’s battle with postpartum depression and subsequent psychosis. 

The red carpet appearance is Jennifer’s first since she welcomed her second child earlier this year, whose name and gender are not known, with husband Cooke Maroney.

In a 2022 interview with Vogue, the actress opened up about the joy of becoming a first-time mother following the birth of her first child that year, sharing that the birth of her son Cy ‘felt like my whole life had started over.’

‘I just stared. I was just so in love. I also fell in love with all babies everywhere. Newborns are just so amazing,’ she gushed.

Jennifer and Cooke are already proud parents to son, Cy, now three, who was born in February 2022. 

The American actress and her husband tied the knot in an intimate ceremony at Rhode Island’s historic Belcourt Mansion in 2019.

The Hunger Games star tends to keep her family life private.

Elsewhere in the conversation, she described, ‘I mean the euphoria of Cy is just — Jesus, it’s impossible. 

‘My heart has stretched to a capacity that I didn’t know about. I include my husband in that.’

The film’s release comes as Jennifer Lawrence recently welcomed her second child with husband Cooke Maroney

Robert also recently became a parent, welcoming his first child, a baby girl, with his partner, Suki Waterhouse last year. 

He told BBC News that the experience has brought more joy and fun into his life. 

The actor also admitted that parenthood has opened him up to the world more and helped him become more social.

Also describing himself as less ‘danger prone’, he joked: ‘If someone told me I was going to die in a week, I’d be like, ‘What? I want to spend some more time with my kid’.’
