Dua Lipa, 27, cosies up to Rita Ora’s ex Romain Gavras, 41, as they make their red carpet debut at the Cannes Film Festival – weeks after confirming their romance
Dua Lipa and her new boyfriend Romain Gavras looked very loved up as they made their red carpet debut at the 76th Annual Cannes Film Festival on Friday evening.
The New Rules songstress, 27, confirmed she was dating filmmaker Romain, 41, who is Rita Ora‘s ex, back in March.
The couple has so far kept their relationship very private – but smacked on the PDA at the screening of Omar La Fraise (The King Of Algiers).
Dua put on a very sultry display in a black gown from Celine by Hedi Slimane, embellished with several oval cut-outs to expose a racy flash of her skin – complete with a high slit up her leg.
As she turned, her side-profile showed a glimpse of her assets while a criss-cross pattern across her back revealed yet more flawless skin.

Back in March, sources claimed the pair had been ‘quietly getting to know each other for months,’ following her split from Anwar Hadid in 2021.

‘Dua knows how important it is to find someone who understands her industry. She feels Romain totally gets it. They’re both really creative people.’
They had previously been spotted leaving Netflix’s annual BAFTA Awards afterparty at the Chiltern Firehouse in London.
Feature film Omar La Fraise was shot in Algeria and stars French partners in crime Benoît Magimel and Reda Kateb, who are on the run.
Directed by Elias Belkeddar, a special midnight screening was shown at the film festival.
The film is a love story and focuses on two relationships: one between two men and one romance between a man and a woman.
