Melissa looked like she was in her element as she worked her angles on the red carpet.

Melissa is enjoying a short getaway to the Italian city of Cagliari for the festival.
She is based in Paris where she lives with her two sons, Raphaël, six, and Solal, four.
The Perth-born actress, who had been living in Paris for almost a decade, is unlikely to permanently return to Australia.
Back in 2012, Melissa famously told The Sydney Morning Herald that she wouldn’t return to her birth country because she was sick of local media being ‘disrespectful’ by mentioning her role on Home and Away.

‘I don’t need credibility from my country any more, I just need them all to be quiet. If they have nothing intelligent to say, please don’t speak to me any more,’ she said.
‘I’d rather be having a croissant and a little espresso in Paris or walking my French bulldog in New York City.’
However, she later changed her tune after temporarily returning Down Under to film the drama Bad Mothers for Channel Nine.
