Dua Lipa and her new beau Romain Gavras made their red-carpet debut at the Cannes Film Festival.

On Friday, Dua Lipa presented to the world her new beau, Romain Gavras. The couple made their red carpet debut at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, in attendance for the film Omar La Fraise (The King of Algiers). The singer stunned in a black cutout Celine dress, accessorized with dainty diamond drop earrings, strappy heels, and curtain bangs. Gavras matched in a black suit and tie, keeping it traditional but still chic.

Now the ultimate question remains: Who is Gavras? The 41-year-old is a French director born in Paris, France. He's directed music videos such as M.I.A.'s "Born Free" (which won him a 2012 MTV Music Video Award) and various films including The World Is Yours and Athena — both of which were screened at previous Cannes Film Festivals.

Lipa and Gavras were first rumored to be romantically linked back in February, where they were spotted leaving a party together in London. According to E! Online, the "Physical" singer and director were photographed a month later at Paris Fashion Week, leaving the Saint Laurent show together.

Prior to Lipa, Gavras dated singer Rita Ora for six months, before splitting in March 2021 due to "difficulties with their respective work commitments," per Daily Mail.

Beyond attending the 2023 Cannes Film Festival in support of Omar La Fraise (The King of Algiers), Lipa also makes an appearance in light of debuting her collaboration with Donatella Versace. Earlier this month, the renowned fashion designer announced she and Lipa co-designed a high summer collection titled "La Vacanza."

The collaboration should come as no surprise, as the pop star has developed a close relationship with the luxury label, often donning Versace on the red carpet and sitting front row at the runway shows. Lipa even made her runway debut walking for the Versace Spring/Summer 2022 show.

As this is Lipa and Gavras's first red carpet together, we may be able to expect a lot more of the couple in the coming months.
