Stepping back into the limelight after his recent split from Taylor Swift, Joe Alwyn graced a Celine dinner in Cannes, France.
The Monday soirée, hosted by designer Hedi Slimane, saw Alwyn mastering the art of effortless chic in a sleek black suit, satin shirt, accented by stylish black sunglasses and a dashing gold necklace.
The event was a veritable who's who of the fashion and entertainment world with star-studded guests like Kaia Gerber, Future, Blackpink’s Lisa, and BTS singer V.
The spotlight swivelled towards Joe and Taylor’s personal lives when the news broke on April 8, courtesy of “Entertainment Tonight”, revealing the termination of their six-year relationship.
Reports stated that the split had occurred a few weeks earlier. People Magazine later validated the break-up, attributing it to the "differences in their personalities".

Currently engaged with her Eras Tour, Taylor seems to be moving forward, with hints of a burgeoning relationship with The 1975's lead singer, Matty Healy.
Over the weekend, during a tour stop in Foxborough, MA, Taylor shared some personal insights with her fans. In a TikTok video, she revealed: "I’ve never been this fulfilled in my life, in all its facets, ever.”
She thanked her fans for being a part of her happiness, expressing that the tour felt more like a celebration of a life that finally made sense to her.
