Monica Bellucci and Tim Burton opened the Lumiere Brothers Film Festival in Lyon

The 16th edition of the Lumiere Brothers Film Festival opened in Lyon. Many celebrities attended the event, but the main stars of the evening were Monica Bellucci and her lover, director Tim Burton.

The couple walked the red carpet holding hands. Monica wore a tight brown floor-length gown with exposed shoulders, the look was completed by jewellery and black sandals. The director wore a black suit with tie and blue shirt. Vanessa Paradis, Benicio Del Toro and other celebrities also appeared on stage.

The Lumiere Brothers Film Festival is an iconic venue for Monica Bellucci and Tim Burton, as it is said to be where their romance began in 2022. The actress then presented the director with a lifetime achievement award. The pair have been out together a lot recently, promoting 66-year-old Burton's new film Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, in which 60-year-old Bellucci plays one of the lead roles. | BGNES
