Gigi Hadid leads the glamor as she attends the Cannes Film Festival premiere of Firebrand

On a night dedicated to red carpet glamor it was inevitable that the lead actress would steal the spotlight, and she did – but Alicia Vikander was in good company as the 76th Cannes Film Festival celebrated the launch of Firebrand.

The actress was present on the resort town’s famous Croisette after arriving on the arm of supporting partner Michael Fassbender, and she was joined by fellow models Irina Shayk, Gigi Hadid and Naomi Campbell ahead of the film’s first official screening.

But as their presence threatened to trump the star, Alicia stole the spotlight in a flowy, sequined dress as she greeted onlookers on the French Riviera.

Elsewhere, Irina dominated the red carpet thanks to a revealing bandage top that drew attention to her famously slim physique as she greeted photographers on Sunday night.

The model added to her look with a flowy, low-slung skirt, while a striking necklace – shimmering under the spotlight – served as an extravagant centerpiece.

To ensure she claimed her share of the spotlight, Gigi Hadid, 28, opted for an elegant fishtail dress with a striking silhouette as she greeted photographers on Sunday night.

An off-the-shoulder detail drew attention to her slim physique, while the glittering diamond necklace that was her main accessory was left on full display.

Directed by Karim Aïnouz, Firebrand received its first official screening as it competes for the prestigious Palm d’Or at this year’s ceremony.

Firebrand, a screenplay by Jessica and Henrietta Ashworth, is based on the 2013 novel Queen’s Gambit by Elizabeth Fremantle.

It focuses on the story of Catherine Parr, the sixth and last wife of Henry VIII, who was King of England from April 22, 1509 until his death in 1547.

The project is Karim Aïnouz’s first directorial work in the English language.

Firebrand was announced at the 2021 American Film Market, with Michelle Williams being the first to star alongside Jude in the lead roles.

However, Alicia later replaced Michelle as Catherine Parr in March 2022, while Jude plays Henry VIII.

In May of the same year, Sam Riley was announced as Thomas Seymour, Eddie Marsan as Edward Seymour, Simon Russell Beale as Stephen Gardiner, and Erin Doherty as Anne Askew.

Filming for the film began in April last year and production took place at Hadden Hall in Bakewell, Derbyshire, until June.

Gigi Hadid looked nothing short of sensational as she stepped onto the red carpet at the premiere of Firebrand.
