The Marvel's "Eternals" actress shared four photos on Instagram that featured her getting ready for the Cannes Film Festival this year. She only posted one photo of her standing in front of a mirror in a curve-hugging purple dress with a plunging neckline that looks almost black in this lighting.

The dress featured ruffled, puffy sleeves that hung over her shoulders and wrapped around her waist, revealing her hourglass figure. Salma's long hair was tied up into an elegant updo while her team provided the final touches to her wardrobe and make-up.

On Saturday, the 56-year-old actress wore the Alexander McQueen gown to the premiere of "Killers of the Flower Moon" at the 76th annual Cannes Film Festival. Although the bottom of the dress cannot be seen in the photos she posted on Instagram, the mermaid skirt hugged her figure and fell into a short train as she walked the red carpet.

In addition to her elegant outfit, Salma is also known for her statement jewelry. This year, she decided to accessorize her purple gown with an embellished diamond necklace, a matching bracelet, and a large ring. Although fans loved her dress, they were equally impressed by her long lashes and sparkling eye shadow.

Fans were quick to joke about the blurry aspects of the video. “There’s something wrong with this video. It keeps going blurry,” one fan commented. “Who hates blurred parts?” another follower asked. “I hate censorship,” a third fan chimed in. However, other followers didn’t think that there was anything that needed to be censored in the video.

“I feel like she blurred it to be funny. I don’t think anything actually popped out,” one fan commented. “There was nothing hanging out… why blur it?” another follower asked. Still, fans are hoping that she’ll release an “uncut” version of the video, with one fan asked, “Where can we get the uncut, uncensored version? Asking for a friend.”

That being said, the popular actress did show plenty of skin as she climbed out of the water and onto her private yacht wearing nothing but a sunshine-yellow bikini! Fans can check out those snaps by clicking here!
