Maura Higgins joined a host of A-listers on the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival.
The ceremony took place at the Palais des Festivals on Tuesday, and a number of people stepped onto the iconic red carpet, including Irish stars Maura and Ruth Negga.
Attending the opening ceremony, Maura stunned in a custom black-and-white gown designed by Andrew Kwon.
The Irish star wore her hair tight, in a 1920s haircut with sculpted waves.
For her glam, she channelled Hollywood glamour, with a classic winged eyeliner and nude lip.
The 35-year-old certainly stole the show for her first-ever Cannes red carpet.
Another Irish star among the crowd was Ruth Negga, who is also serving on the jury at the film festival alongside huge stars like Demi Moore and Stellan Skarsgård.
