Demi Moore looked incredible in a strapless black gown as she attended an event at the American Pavillion during Cannes Film Festival on Sunday.
The actress, 61, was in good spirits as she cradled her pet Chihuahua, Pilaf while taking to the stage to speak at the party.
Demi showed off her sensational figure in the stylish maxi dress which she teamed with coordinated flat shoes.
Leaving her very long tresses loose, the Ghost star shielded from the sun behind a pair of sunglasses and accessorised with a pair of small silver hoop earrings.
Earlier in the day, Demi flashed her gorgeous smile as she departed the lavish Hotel Martinez for the event.

Demi is in Cannes to support her slasher-horror The Substance, which is competing for the festival’s top prize, the Palme d’Or.
It has been decades since she came anywhere near a Cannes red carpet, having appeared mostly in small TV roles since the early Noughties, yet she will join her castmates at the premiere on Sunday.
Little is known about the American body horror film written and directed by Coralie Fargeat, which also stars Margaret Qualley, 29, yet it is said to be an ‘explosive feminist take on body horror.’
The late Ray Liotta was lined up for the cast however after his death in May 2022 production had to be re-evaluated and began again three months later.
Cannes is the world’s biggest film festival, first conceived in 1939 as an alternative to the then-fascist-influenced Venice Film Festival.
It has been held annually since 1946 except in 1948 and 1950, when it was cancelled due to lack of funds.
The festival is known for its carefully selected programme of films that have gone on to Oscar glory or launched the careers of directors like Quentin Tarantino.
Cannes’ top prize is the Palme d’Or, or Golden Palm, whose past winners include Taxi Driver, Apocalypse Now, Pulp Fiction, The Pianist and Parasite.

Jane Campion became the first female director to win in 1993 with The Piano, followed by a nearly three-decade gap until Julia Ducournau received the award for Titane in 2021.
Justine Triet became only the third female director to take the prize last year with Anatomy of a Fall.
There is also an honorary Palme d’Or, which is awarded in recognition of notable bodies of work, with past recipients including Harrison Ford, Jane Fonda and Clint Eastwood.
There are two honorary winners this year: George Lucas of ‘Star Wars’ and ‘Indiana Jones’ fame, and Japanese animation legend Studio Ghibli, the first group to receive the prize.
Other awards include the Grand Prix, jury prize, best director, best actor, best actress, best screenplay and best short film.
The Cannes Film Festival officially kicked off on Tuesday night as celebrities walked the red carpet into the plush Grand Theatre Lumiere to honour Hollywood actor Meryl Streep before settling in to watch this year’s opening film, The Second Act.
