Dua Lipa, 27, befriends Rita Ora’s ex Romain Gavras, 41, as they make their red carpet debut at the Cannes Film Festival – weeks after confirming their romance
Dua Lipa and her new boyfriend Romain Gavras looked very much in love as they made their red carpet debut at the 76th Cannes Film Festival on Friday night.
The 27-year-old New Rules singer confirmed in March that she was dating filmmaker Romain, 41, Rita Ora’s ex.
The pair have kept their relationship very private so far – but at the screening of Omar La Fraise (The King of Algiers) they clapped on the PDA.
Dua looked very sexy in a black Celine by Hedi Slimane dress, which was adorned with multiple oval cutouts to reveal a classy look at her skin – complete with a high slit at the leg.
As she turned, her side profile revealed her assets, while a criss-cross pattern on her back revealed even more flawless skin.

Her raven locks were styled in an elegant updo, her tresses pulled back in a high bun, while trendy bangs cascaded down her forehead.
She opted for classy, glamorous makeup to highlight her beauty, including a nude lip and a pair of gorgeous dangling earrings.
Meanwhile, Romain looked stunning in his black suit – but his eyes were on his Don’t Start Now star girlfriend as he couldn’t take his eyes off her.
The singer beamed as she showed off her new beau as they couldn’t keep their hands off each other.
Dua and Romain held hands when they arrived at the premiere and he gently placed a hand on her waist while they posed for photos.
Later, she very lovingly put her hands on his chest, showing that they were very comfortable with each other.
Back in March, sources claimed the couple had been “tacitly knowing each other for months” following Anwar Hadid’s split in 2021.
