The actresses were joined by their co-star Charles Melton for the sunny photocall, which came the day after the film’s glitzy Cannes premiere.
May December follows a couple, whose romance was previously the source of tabloid fodder due to their age gap, as they welcome twins and are being faced with the prospect of having a film made about their lives.
When an actress from Hollywood visits the two to learn more about the wife, the family dynamic begins to unravel.
Natalie will portray the actress, Elizabeth Berry, while Moore and Melton are set to play the couple.
The V For Vendetta actress also acts as one of the film’s producers, alongside actor Will Ferrell.
Todd Haynes serves as the project’s director, and Samy Burch penned its screenplay.
The movie is competing for Cannes most prestigious prize – the Palme d’Or.

Moore and Portman’s film has received mixed reviews from critics after its Cannes debut, with Xan Brooks of The Observer declaring ‘it promises more than it delivers.’
Jonathan Romney for Screen Daily meanwhile writes that ‘this Cannes Competition entry offers sly stylistic play, together with a terrific pairing of two performers on great form.’
He adds thought that ‘Melton’s performance is the revelation of the film’.
Peter Debruge for Variety writes: ‘Todd Haynes unpacks America’s obsession with scandal and the impossibility of ever truly knowing what motivates others in this layered look at the actor’s process’
