Love Island star Zara McDermott stunned the Cannes Film Festival, as she posed for a L'Oreal photoshoot, wearing an elegant white gown.

The reality TV regular wowed onlookers in the French Riviera, as she joined a host of UK and A list celebrities including Emma Stone and Uma Thurman, alongside British stars Rochelle Humes and Kimberley Garner.

Zara, 27, could be seen posing on the shore, wearing a dramatic white gown, with frilled top and sleek skirt. Her sun-kissed hair was pulled back into a high pony, while the barefooted shoot was kept natural with pared-back make up and jewelled earrings. In other images, she wore a sleek black dress, her hair a deep brunette.

And Strictly star Zara might be wearing another white dress soon, as reports claim she and long-term boyfriend Sam Thompson are set to take the next step after dating for five years. The pair, who live in a West London flat with their two cats, are hoping to get married soon, a source claims.

An insider told with OK! that Sam is planning on proposing to his partner in the coming months. "Insiders say Sam is very close to proposing to Zara and think he will do it by the summer as they talk about getting married all the time and what their wedding would be like," they revealed.

As per the source, Sam and Zara are already considering plans for their big day: "They're torn over having a traditional English wedding or doing something abroad in somewhere like Ibiza and just having all their friends and family out there for a few days. They both love a party and want to be able to celebrate in style."

Meanwhile, another unlikely Cannes attendee was spotted on the red carpet - former Hollyoaks star Nathalie Emmanuel, who played Sasha Valentine on the Channel 4 soap.

The actress broke into Hollywood after her stint on Game of Thrones and since then, her career has gone from strength to strength.

The former Hollyoaks star wore a while applique gown embellished with rhinestones, which was complemented with star rings and a bow necklace. Nathalie played Julia Cicero in Francis Ford Coppola's passion project, Megalopolis. Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, to comment on Nathalie's new role, one fan wrote: "Nathalie Emmanuel’s career trajectory is incredible because no one else in the history of acting has managed to go from starring in Hollyoaks to a Francis Ford Coppola film."

Speaking about the film to Variety, Nathalie praised the offering.

She said: "I felt like I had never seen anything like it… it’s epic, artistic and experimental," before adding mysteriously: "It’s kind of in the vein of a lot of Francis’ work, which is not to conform in any way. It’s very much in line with his filmmaking."
