Elsa Hosk put on a dazzling display as she stepped out at the Resurrection premiere during Cannes Film Festival on Thursday.

The Swedish model, 36, made sure to turn heads in a shimmering strapless gold gown with a sheer black lace skirt featuring tiered metallic layers.

She added a touch of glitz to her ensemble with a statement pendant necklace and added to her height in a pair of heels.

Elsa added to her striking features with a dramatic slick of eyeliner and a touch of glossy pink lipstick.

She styled her blonde tresses in glamorous waves falling loosely across her shoulders as she led the arrivals at the premiere.

Resurrection is a six-part cinematic epic from Chinese director Bi Gan and it stars Jackson Yee, Shu Qi, Mark Chao, Li Gengxi, Huang Jue and Chen Yongzhong.

The movie follows humanity as they lose the ability to dream, with only one creature able to still become entranced in illusions.

The film is director Gan’s first offering since his 2018 drama film Long Day’s Journey Into Night.

It is not the only star-studded premiere to have taken place, as Paul Mescal and Josh O’Connor’s new film The History of Sound debuted at Cannes on Wednesday.

Kirsten Stewart’s directorial debut The Chronology of Water also premiered to a four-minute standing ovation, as did Scarlett Johansson directorial debut Eleanor The Great.

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

Attracting more models and influencers than actors and filmmakers, the annual ceremony has seen an increase in risque red carpet fashion statements. 

For the ‘sake of decency’, new rules have been implemented at this year’s festival.

Also in attendance at the premiere was French actress Juliette Binoche, who cut a sophisticated figure in an off-the-shoulder black silk gown

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.’

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

While the decision to implement a more stringent policy will be a first, it is not known if French TV broadcasters, wary of airing nudity, played a role in its enforcement.

Major red carpet events, including the Cannes Film Festival, are aired in France by France Télévisions.
