Alessandra Ambrosio nails French chic in a stylish striped knit top and bakerboy hat as she steps out at the 76th Cannes Film Festival

Alessandra Ambrosio saw French chic when she arrived at the Hotel Martinez on Saturday during the 76th Cannes Film Festival.

The former Victoria’s Secret Angel, 41, looked elegant in a striped knit top and a baker’s hat ahead of tonight’s festivities.

She smiled for the cameras, shielded her eyes with black sunglasses and wore a fuzzy cardigan over her arm.

Alessandra completed her outfit with a pair of wide-leg trousers and a pair of cream Gucci loafers.

Her long dark brown hair fell out from under her hat as she accessorized her with a large tote bag and stud earrings.

Alessandra’s outing comes after her stunning red carpet performance for the premiere of Jeanne du Barry on the festival’s opening night on Tuesday.

On her way to the 5-star hotel, Mia Reegan opted for a much more casual look, wearing bright red sweatpants with an oversized gray sweater.

The model, who is in a relationship with Romeo Beckham, carried a large bag and wore headphones around her neck.

Elsewhere, Robert De Niro was seen signing autographs to fans who had gathered outside The Barrière Le Majestic despite the rain.

The veteran actor, 79, looked smart in a charcoal gray suit with a matching polo neck top and dress pants.

Adriana Lima, 41, protected herself from the weather with an umbrella when she arrived at the iconic hotel.

She wore a black blazer with a smart top, leggings and trainers for her arrival.

The Victoria’s Secret model pulled her brunette hair back into a slick bun and went makeup-free for her outing.

This year’s festival promises a Côte d’Azur buffet of spectacle, scandal and cinema served over the next 12 days.

It unfolds against the backdrop of labor unrest. Protests that have stirred France in recent months over changes to the pension system will take place during the festival, albeit at a distance from the main festival hub.

Meanwhile, an ongoing strike by screenwriters in Hollywood could have unpredictable consequences for the festival on the French Riviera.

The largest film festival in the world will conclude with the closing ceremony on May 27.
