Married At First Sight's 'hottest bride ever' Evelyn Ellis has awkward moment with model Bella Hadid at Cannes Film Festival
But she suffered quite the gaffe on Tuesday when one close contact moment with international model Bella Hadid left her in an awkward position.
The Married At First Sight star, 29, shared a clip to Instagram which showed the American, 28, unwittingly using Evelyn as a backdrop for her paparazzi photos.
In the video, Evelyn was seated in the backseat of a car as Bella could be seen approaching with a gaggle of photographers through the tinted window.
Flaunting her figure in a skin-tight black dress, the model kept her eyes hidden behind a pair of designer sunglasses as she searched for a photo backdrop.
The blonde beauty could be seen pointing out the car and the sign, which had a picture of her, behind it before she took up position right in front of Evelyn's window.
Bella appeared to be unaware someone was waiting in the car as she posed for several photos with the vehicle against her back.
However, Evelyn didn't appear to be offended by the moment, but instead was excited to be so close to a huge star.
'I can now die happy because Bella Hadid used me as a backdrop,' she captioned the video alongside a skull emoji.
Evelyn posted another video of herself with a thumbs up as she quietly chuckled over the camera lights flashing outside her window to capture images of Bella.
The reality TV star turned up the heat on the French Riviera as she made a show-stopping appearance at the 78th Annual Cannes Film Festival this week.
Evelyn ensured she was the centre of attention as she graced the red carpet at the Opening Ceremony and premiere of Partir Un Jour (Leave One Day) in France.
The Aussie reality star joined a bevy of A-list luminaries including Eva Longoria, Heidi Klum and Leonardo DiCaprio.
Evelyn looked every inch the Hollywood siren in a dramatic, two-toned gown by Cappellazzo Couture.
This isn't the first time the glamorous TV bride has graced the red carpet as a special guest of L'Oréal.
While she was all smiles as she strutted through the event, Evelyn revealed on Instagram on Sunday she would miss boyfriend Duncan James while in Cannes.
Posting photos of herself outside the airport, she wrote: 'This little lady is off on a big adventure, but can now declare she will be a little unhinged without Duncan.'
The couple, who announced they were dating in May 2023 despite having been matched with different partners on MAFS, just celebrated their second anniversary.
Evelyn and Duncan, 40, stepped out for a romantic evening last month and shared a heartfelt tribute to social media.
Taking to Instagram, Duncan posted a sweet message alongside a series of glam snaps with Evelyn.
'2 years of loving you. Which is 730 days, and approximately 1,051,200 minutes of putting up with each other. Thank you, for being you x,' he wrote.
Evelyn cheekily responded in the comments with, 'We still got it,' proving the spark is very much alive between the fan-favourite couple.

V&A announces details for David Bowie Centre
From the Thierry Mugler suit he got married in to his costumes from the Ziggy Stardust and Aladdin Sane era, David Bowie's most iconic looks will be available for fans to see up close as the V&A museum opens its David Bowie Centre on 13 September. Part of the V&A's wider archival project, the V&A East Storehouse, the Bowie archive comprises more than 90,000 items – which won't all be on display at once. Instead, in details revealed today, visitors will be able to order up items to look at closely, while V&A archivists and star curators will make selections to go on display in a series of rotating showcases. Tickets will be free. Nile Rodgers, the Chic bandleader and guitarist who worked with Bowie on the hit album Let's Dance, has curated one of these areas, with items including correspondence between the two, studio images taken by Peter Gabriel during the making of Bowie's Rodgers-assisted 1993 album Black Tie White Noise, and a bespoke suit designed by Peter Hall for the Serious Moonlight tour. 'My creative life with David Bowie provided the greatest success of his incredible career, but our friendship was just as rewarding,' Rodgers said, announcing the partnership. 'Our bond was built on a love of the music that had both made and saved our lives.' Also playing guest curators are the members of chart-topping alt-pop band the Last Dinner Party, whose selections include handwritten lyrics for the Young Americans album, studio photos by Mick Rock and – rather nerdishly – the manual for Bowie's EMS synth, heard on the so-called Berlin trilogy of albums. 'David Bowie continues to inspire generations of artists like us to stand up for ourselves,' the band said in a joint statement. 'When we first started developing ideas for TLDP, we took a similar approach to Bowie developing his Station to Station album – we had a notebook and would write words we wanted to associate with the band. It was such a thrill to explore Bowie's archive, and see first-hand the process that went into his world-building and how he created a sense of community and belonging for those that felt like outcasts or alienated – something that's really important to us in our work too.' Rodgers and the band's choices will be included in an area featuring items that are rotated every six months or so, with fresh guest curators each time. There will also be eight other sections showcasing around 200 Bowie items curated by the V&A team in collaboration with young people from the neighbouring London boroughs of Hackney, Newham, Tower Hamlets and Waltham Forest, with each area refreshed every few years. These will include a look at Bowie's unrealised projects, such as film tie-ins with the Diamond Dogs and Young Americans albums, and even a mooted adaptation of George Orwell's 1984. Other areas will spotlight iconic moments such as his 1987 Glass Spider tour, his collaborations with bassist Gail Ann Dorsey and the creation of the Ziggy Stardust persona. There will also be an interactive installation tracing Bowie's impact on pop cultural figures from Issey Miyake to Lady Gaga, and a film compiling live performances across his career. What will really provoke Bowie fans' fascination, though, is seeing objects up close, 'including costumes, musical instruments, models, props and scenery' according to the V&A. Visitors will be able to book to see five items each visit, with two weeks' notice, using the V&A's 'order an object' service. Bookings will begin in September. More than 70,000 of the archive items are photographic prints, negatives and transparencies, and these, along with other paper-based items – 'notebooks, diaries, lyrics, scripts, correspondence, project files, writings, unrealised projects, cover artwork, designs, concept drawings, fanmail and art' – will also be available to view by special appointment. The V&A first acquired Bowie's archive in 2023, with director Tristram Hunt promising the David Bowie Centre would be a 'new sourcebook for the Bowies of tomorrow'. He and his team will hope the centre will be a major tourist draw to its new V&A East Storehouse, which opened in May in the Olympic Park, Stratford. Like the David Bowie Centre within it, the building showcases items from the V&A's collection, and allows visitors to book to see other items close up. 'We wanted it to feel like an immersive cabinet of curiosities,' the building's architect Liz Diller told the Guardian. 'So you land right in the middle, at the very heart of the building, flipping the usual progression from public to private.' The Guardian's architecture critic Oliver Wainwright said the buildings gives 'a thrilling window into the sprawling stacks of our national museum of everything', while art critic Jonathan Jones said in a five star review: 'This is what the museum of the future looks like – an old idea that's now been turned inside out, upside down, disgorging its secrets, good and bad, in an avalanche of beautiful questions, created with curiosity, generous imagination and love.' Another V&A outpost in the Olympic Park, the more traditional gallery space of V&A East Museum, will open in spring 2026.
