Demi Moore stunned in an extravagant gown as she attends The Substance premiere with Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Alessandra Ambrosio at the Cannes Film Festival on Sunday night.

Demi, 61, wore the warm silver dress, which featured an arrowed segment sticking straight out with silver and diamond jewellery.

English model Rosie, 37, looked fantastic in a sleeveless black jumpsuit covered in streams of silver tassels which reached the floor.

Rosie slid her hands into her pockets as she walked the red carpet for the film at the 77th annual Festival.

Also on the carpet was Brazilian model Alessandra, 43, who turned heads in a form-fitting shiny and patterned sleeveless silver dress

Of the three gorgeous women, only Demi stars in The Substance, a body horror film written and directed by Coralie Fargeat.

The Substance follows Demi as ageing film star Elizabeth Sparkle who goes to extreme lengths to stay youthful. 

Cannes’ synopsis of the film reads: ‘Have you ever dreamed of a better version of yourself? You should try this new product: The Substance. It changed my life. 

‘With The Substance, you can generate another version of yourself, younger, more beautiful, more perfect… Just share the time. 

‘One week for one, one week for the other. A perfect balance of seven days. Easy isn’t it? If you follow the instructions, what could go wrong?”

Demi’s co-stars in the film, which was selected to compete for a Palme d’Or, include Margaret Qualley and Dennis Quaid. 

At the premiere, Demi, Dennis, Margaret, and their French director Coralie, joined together for a sweet group photo.

Alessandra was accompanied on the red carpet by Saudi Arabian film producer Mohammed Al Turki – and the two could not keep their hands off of each other.

Also in attendance was Italian singer and model Carla Bruni who flashed some skin in a loose black jumpsuit

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.

Also at Cannes Film Festival is the 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.
