Anika Noni Rose, 43, flashes under-boob in cleavage-enhancing dress as she parties with Jonathan Rhys Meyers in Cannes

She is hardly the shy and retiring type.

So it's perhaps unsurprising that Anika Noni Rose put on a buxom display when she stepped out with co-star Joanthan Rhys Meyers on Monday. 

The screen beauty sported a very bold look at the MIPTV GALA at Hotel Martinez in Cannes, France, where she effortlessly commanded attention.

Stepping out in a bright yellow number, the sexy, sleeveless dress deftly turned heads - in part thanks to the revealing, cut-out panel across her stomach.

Rising up to showcase the lower part of her bosom, the 43 year-old was clearly feeling body-confident and managed to work the look.  

Scraping her hair up into a classy bun, she ensured all eyes were on her choice of attire.

Not that she was the only glamorous guest there, of course - she was also there with Anna Paquin.

The two women star together in new TV series Roots, which chronicles the history of an African slave sold to America. 

She too was in red carpet mode, sporting a classic LBD with a pink bow across the chest, which - between them - constituted some very competitive cleavage.

Earlier in the day, Irish actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers - who also stars in the series - was on fine form.

The 38 year-old was the perfect gentleman when he offered fiancée Mara Lane his jacket during a chilly photocall on the waterfront.

Cutting a dapper figure, the good-looking dude was in casual mode as he sported a pair of skinny jeans in indigo blue, with a pastel-coloured shirt and a leather jacket.

But, as the external shoot got colder, his bride-to-be - who was wearing just a thin khaki dress - seemed to get uncomfortable.

To help, the chivalrous star removed his coat and draped it across her shoulders in a sweet display.

Fortunately, he still looked great with a pair of leather shoes and some black-framed glasses - and also appeared to be happy and healthy as he posed for the media.

In May 2015, shocking images emerged of Meyers looking dishevelled as he drank vodka straight from the bottle. 

Following the relapse, The Tudors star, who has battled alcohol issues for over a decade, apologised to his fans in a statement released via his fiancée's. Instagram account.

Alongside an image of the couple he wrote: 'Mara and I are thankful for your support and kindness during this time.

Chivalry: Mara looked instantly more at ease as she wrapped herself up in the stylish biker jacket

'I apologizes [sic] for having a minor relapse and hope that people don't think too badly of me.'

Meyers continued: 'I stopped drinking immediately and it is no reflection on Damascus Cover (a film he starred in last year) as I was not meant to attend Cannes this year and I apologize to fans and colleagues.'

'I am on the mend and thank well wishers and sorry for my disheveled appearance as I was on my way home from a friends and had not changed'.
