Selena Gomez is ravishing in red at the Cannes Film Festival!

The singer and actress, 31, brought Hollywood glam to the event while attending a photocall for her film Emilia Pérez in Cannes, France, on Sunday, May 19.

Gomez wore a custom red off-the-shoulder Giambattista Valli Haute Couture ruffled silk dress with silk organza roses across the décolletage and an A-line mid-length skirt, which she paired with red Christian Louboutin heels and matching nails. 

The actress wore her hair in retro waves with a side-swept fringe and sported pink eyeshadow and lipstick. She accessorized her look with Wild Moon earrings and the Snake Dance ring by Messika jewelry.

Gomez's photocall appearance comes after she received a minutes-long standing ovation for her new film during the festival on Saturday, May 18.

The actress broke down in tears in reaction to the cheers from the audience after the movie was shown at the Palais in Cannes, Variety and Deadline reported.

In Emilia Pérez, Gomez portrays an unsuspecting wife of drug cartel leader Manitas, who hires an overqualified and undervalued lawyer Rita to help him undergo a sex change operation to become a woman and disappear into retirement.

On Friday, May 17, Gomez made a chic arrival in France ahead of her appearance at the Cannes Film Festival wearing white knit peplum mini dress by Self-Portrait (available now for $495) and white-and-black slingback Roger Vivier pumps.
