Tina Kunakey makes a bold statement in a dramatic purple and red gown as she turns heads at Benedetta screening during Cannes Film Festival


The Cannes Film Festival is in full swing after being cancelled last year amid the coronavirus pandemic.  

And Tina Kunakey ensured she returned with a bang, as she made a statement on the red carpet at Benedetta screening during Cannes Film Festival on Friday.

The French model, 24, sported a quirky floor-length dress that featured a puffy light-purple top and a mermaid tail skirt in navy blue.

Her ensemble featured a hood that she wore over her head and it also had a large red sash at the front which she had tied into a bow.

The wife of Vincent Cassel had slicked back her brunette locks into a dramatic bun, and she opted to forgo wearing any jewellery so all attention remained on her outfit. 

Benedetta tells the story of Benedetta Carlini, a novice nun who embarks on an affair with another woman when she joins an Italian convent in the 17th century.

She looked stunning as she walked by the Martinez Hotel in a leggy tiger-print shirt dress and shades. 

Tina flashed a hint of cleavage, with her outfit featuring several buttons undone from the collar down.

She was seen showcasing her toned legs in her stylish number as she strolled through the French city, making the most of the glorious weather.

The model added height to her ensemble with a pair of chic blue heels and also wore a chunky pair of white-framed sunglasses on her face.

Tina carried a single use disposable blue face mask in one of her hands and toted her essentials in a blue handbag slung over one of her shoulders.

She joins a whole host of stars who have been spotted at Cannes Film Festival in recent days, including Hollywood actor Matt Damon and actress Jessica Chastain.
