Michelle Rodriguez nails girly glamour in a heavily-fringed white gown as she attends the Once Upon A Time In Hollywood premiere in Cannes

  • Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon A Time In Hollywood is set to hit US theatres in July 26, followed by a UK release on August 15 

She's known for displaying her biker chic style at the industry's leading film and TV events.

But Michelle Rodriguez shunned her signature edgy look in favour of a softer appearance as she attended the Once Upon A Time In Hollywood premiere during the 72nd annual Cannes Film Festival in France on Tuesday evening.

The Fast and Furious actress, 40, ensured all eyes were on her as she slipped her athletic frame into an off-white fairytale-inspired ballgown, embellished with fringe detailing throughout.

Turning heads with her extravagant display, the screen star's ensemble highlighted her toned arms with its off-the-shoulder neckline.

The Machete Kills actress maintained her dazzling appearance in the accessory department as she rocked a snake-style diamond encrusted necklace.

With her cropped tresses styled into loose waves, Michelle let her outfit do the talking as she opted for light strokes of neutral-toned make-up. 

Once Upon A Time In Hollywood sees Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt bring the golden age of Hollywood back to life. Playing Rick Dalton and his stunt double Cliff Booth, the actors revisit a simpler time in tinsel town as they transport us back to Los Angeles in 1969.

Being a Quentin Tarantino film, his ninth to be precise, the teaser promises plenty of Hollywood throwbacks and a behind the scenes glimpse at a Western film.

Other stars in the film include Al Pacino, Emile Hirsch, Damian Lewis, Bruce Dern, Dakota Fanning, Austin Butler, Lena Dunham and Margaret Qualley. In the film, the actors seem to be linked to each other in one way or another.

The 2019 Cannes Film Festival is taking place at the iconic Palais des Festivals until May 25. 

Actress Elle Fanning, French graphic novelist Enki Bilal and the Oscar-nominated director of The Favourite, Yorgos Lanthimos, are among jury members during the annual event.
