Emma Stone, fellow Oscar winner Joaquin Phoenix, The Last of Us star Pedro Pascal, and Elvis' Austin Butler posed for photographs on the Cannes Film Festival red carpet ahead of the premiere of their new film Eddington.

Stone, best known for her Oscar-winning roles in Poor Things and La La Land, was wearing a white textured gown with emerald earrings and slicked-back hair.

She was seen chatting to her co-star Pascal on the red carpet, who was dressed in an all-black suit, while Butler, who was in black tie, left the carpet momentarily to greet fans and smile for selfies.

Joker star Joaquin Phoenix also wore black tie and posed for photographs on the red carpet alongside American director Ari Aster.

Aster wrote the film and is best known for the thriller Midsommar, the psychological horror Hereditary, and the Phoenix-starring dark comedy Beau Is Afraid.

The Western drama Eddington is set during the Covid-19 pandemic and follows a stand-off between smalltown sheriff Joe Cross, played by Phoenix, and mayor Ted Garcia, played by Pascal.

The tension sparks volatility in the town, pitting neighbours against one another in Eddington, New Mexico.
