Hollywood legend: Mel Gibson, 60, stepped out for a funfilled photo-call for Blood Father at the Cannes Film Festival on Saturday morning with co-star Erin Moriarty

Balancing the fine line between smart and casual, the silver-haired actor let a few buttons loose at the top of his crisp white shirt unveiling his chest hair, which was over-shadowed by a statement dusty blue blazer.

Buttoned at the front, it bode well with his glistening blue eyes as he made a series of spirited facial expressions and didn't let a huge smile forego his lips as he jokingly ushered photographers to calm down with his hands.

The star - who is dating 25-year-old Rosalind Ross - went on to accessorise with a chunky silver necklace which highlighted his scruff as he stood tall in a pair of intense dark wash jeans.

Loves a joke: At one point Mel held up a 'L' sign as he flashed a beaming grin for the cameras

Rising star Erin Moriarty proved she's one-to-watch in the style stakes as she attended the Blood Father photocall in Cannes.

She looked stunning in a gorgeous white lace dress by Giamba that featured a statement belt. Seeing as Giamba is Giambattista Valli's more youthful and playful off-shoot brand, it was the perfect choice for the young actress.

We love the Victoriana-inspired high-neck which gave it an on-trend edge, not to mention the chunky studded belt which created a fashion-forward contrast against the intricate white lace.

Erin styled her dress perfectly with some simple strappy sandals by Jimmy Choo, which let the pretty lace dress pull the focus. We're already looking forward to Erin's next red-carpet outfit!

Feeling inspired? Take your pick from the designs below by Paper Dolls, Navy London, TFNC and Pretty Little Thing to channel Erin's look. Not only are they all white lace but they have high-necks too which will give a perfect nod to Erin's Giamba dress.

Unable to control his high energy, which saw him making funny facial expressions to the photographers and holding up an 'L' sign, he grabbed on to the 21-year-old stunner for a spot of ballroom dancing.

The beautiful blonde looked stunning as she tried to concentrate as Meg led the way who seemed to have toned down to focus on the activities.

After the dancing session was over, he once again put on a humorous front as he raised his 'jazz hands' and had a blast at the rest of the event.

The turtleneck garment cinched her in at the waist with a silver-studded black belt and then flared in to a floaty skirt.

Her toned stems were elongated by a sexy pair of black strappy open-toe heels.

And the look didn't end there as she flaunted her perfectly styled and blow-dried blonde locks while flirtatiously taking in her surrounding in her mascara clad eyes and pink pout.

This is set to be the big break for the New York native who originally deferred her place at university to pursue acting.

Chilling: Erin, famed for playing Audrey Hart on True Detective, seemed amused by Mel's antics
