Michelle Keegan oozed elegance on Friday night as she stepped out for her first red carpet appearance since the birth of her first child on 6 March. 

The Brassic actress, 37, was seen at the premiere of The Mastermind at the Cannes Film Festival, looking uber chic in a white gown featuring a corset top and fitted full-length skirt. 

Her figure-skimming look was accessorised with a beautiful statement diamond necklace and matching drop earrings and an unexpected addition – a large white hat, which was worn on an angle.

Prior to her red carpet appearance, the Fool Me Once actress attended the L'Oreal Lights on Women Award in Cannes. 

For the occasion, she chose a grey structured mini dress with rose-shaped detailing. It was worn under a longline grey textured jacket and teamed with black pumps and a black Chanel bag.

Her dark hair was piled on top of her head for a 90s-inspired updo. Meanwhile, her first day in Cannes was marked with a glamorous dinner at La Petite Maison, a restaurant in the heart of Cannes' legendary Palm Beach.

Here, she stunned in a pair of off-white shorts with black piping around the pockets to match her coordaintign military-style cropped jacket.

"From working on a makeup counter to walking the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival with @lorealparis… I don’t even have the words," Michelle said afterwards.
