Kirsten Dunst put on a loved-up display with her husband Jesse Plemons on Friday as the pair graced the Kinds Of Kindness red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival.
The Hollywood actress, 42, took a back seat to support her husband, 36, who stars in the Yorgos Lanthimos film alongside Emma Stone.
Kirsten looked nothing short of sensational as she wore a black gown which boasted a plunging mesh neckline and a chic back cowl.
She competed the look with a black hair bow and a silver diamond necklace and earrings to match.
Meanwhile, her husband Jesse, 36, looked incredibly dapper in a black three-piece tuxedo.

The Breaking Bad actor, who plays the roles of Robert, Daniel, and Andrew in the film, appeared in high spirits as he embraced his wife for several sweet snaps.
The movie is described as ‘triptych fable, following a man without choice who tries to take control of his own life; a policeman who is alarmed that his wife who was missing-at-sea has returned and seems a different person; and a woman determined to find a specific someone with a special ability, who is destined to become a prodigious spiritual leader,’ according to Variety.
Emma recently won her second Oscar for Best Actress after working with Lanthimos, 50, on Poor Things, which also earned him a nomination for Best Director.
The pair previously worked together on 2018’s The Favourite, for which they were also nominated for Best Supporting Actress and Best Director, respectively.
Kinds of Kindness premieres on June 21 in select cinemas.
Cannes is the world’s biggest film festival, first conceived in 1939 as an alternative to the then-fascist-influenced Venice Film Festival.
It has been held annually since 1946 except in 1948 and 1950, when it was cancelled due to lack of funds.
The festival is known for its carefully selected programme of films that have gone on to Oscar glory or launched the careers of directors like Quentin Tarantino.

Cannes’ top prize is the Palme d’Or, or Golden Palm, whose past winners include Taxi Driver, Apocalypse Now, Pulp Fiction, The Pianist and Parasite.
Jane Campion became the first female director to win in 1993 with The Piano, followed by a nearly three-decade gap until Julia Ducournau received the award for Titane in 2021.
Justine Triet became only the third female director to take the prize last year with Anatomy of a Fall.
There is also an honorary Palme d’Or, which is awarded in recognition of notable bodies of work, with past recipients including Harrison Ford, Jane Fonda and Clint Eastwood.
There are two honorary winners this year: George Lucas of ‘Star Wars’ and ‘Indiana Jones’ fame, and Japanese animation legend Studio Ghibli, the first group to receive the prize.
Other awards include the Grand Prix, jury prize, best director, best actor, best actress, best screenplay and best short film.
The Cannes Film Festival officially kicked off on Tuesday night as celebrities walked the red carpet into the plush Grand Theatre Lumiere to honour Hollywood actor Meryl Streep before settling in to watch this year’s opening film, The Second Act.
Almost as prestigious as winning the Palme d’Or, the Cannes Film Festival’s top prize, is being on the jury that picks the winner.
Artists from around the world who have made a name for themselves in their respective fields are picked to sit on the jury, with one member designated as jury president.
This year’s jury president, U.S. director Greta Gerwig, comes to Cannes after the massive success last summer of Barbie.
She is the first female U.S. director to serve as jury president, taking the baton from the head of the 2023 jury, Triangle of Sadness director and two-time Palme d’Or winner, Ruben Ostlund of Sweden.
