They play star crossed lovers on-screen and on Wednesday Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan looked every inch the golden couple as they graced the red carpet at the Cannes Opening Ceremony.
Carey looked stunning in a plunging pink satin gown and the 27-year-old actress teased her long blonde hair out of its trademark bun for the prestigious opening performance.
Unsurprisingly all eyes were on the actress, even her co-star Leonardo couldn't keep his eyes off the blonde, who showed off a little side-boob in the backless Dior gown.
