Evelyn Ellis has been getting up close and personal with some of the world’s biggest stars this week as she attends the Cannes Film Festival in France.

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.
