Married At First Sight star Evelyn Ellis has returned to the French Riviera for the second consecutive year as a special VIP guest of beauty giant L'Oréal Paris.

The 30-year-old reality-TV-star-turned-it-girl turned the heat up in a black gown by Ryan Patros.

Evelyn looked every inch the superstar as she posed at the 79th Annual Cannes Film Festival. 

Her dress featured intricate, shimmering beadwork cascading down to a dramatic, floor-sweeping train trimmed with voluminous black feathers.

She accessorised with blinding diamond statement rings and drop earrings courtesy of Michael Arthur Diamonds.

Keeping the focus on her striking features, the brunette bombshell opted for a sleek, wet-look updo parted down the middle, paired with a sultry bronze smoky eye, a flawless sun-kissed complexion, and a defined mauve lip.

Taking to social media, the star couldn't hide her gratitude, captioning her jaw-dropping snaps: 'FOREVER A L’Oréal Paris girly. I honestly cannot believe I'm back here again at the Cannes Film Festival. 

'It's the people behind the scenes that make these experiences so special. The conversations in the makeup chair, the creatives bringing a vision to life, the stylists & photographers all coming together with the same excitement. 

'There's something so cool about being surrounded by people who genuinely love what they do.'

The Aussie reality star joined a bevy of A-list luminaries, including Penélope Cruz, Zoe Saldaña and Eva Longoria.

Evelyn's triumphant return to France follows her hilarious, viral debut last year, when she couldn't contain her excitement as she got very close to supermodel Bella Hadid. 

The MAFS veteran shared a clip to Instagram which showed the American star, 29, unwittingly using Evelyn as a backdrop for her paparazzi photos. 

In the video, Evelyn was seated in the backseat of a car as Bella approached with a gaggle of minders and photographers.

Flaunting her figure in a skin-tight black dress, Bella kept her eyes hidden behind a pair of designer sunglasses as she searched for a photo backdrop. 

The blonde beauty could be seen pointing at the car and the sign, which had a picture of her, before she took up position right in front of Evelyn's window.

Bella appeared to be unaware someone was waiting in the car as she posed for several photos with the vehicle behind her.

However, Evelyn didn't seem offended by the awkward moment and was instead thrilled to be so close to a huge star.

'I can now die happy because Bella Hadid used me as a backdrop,' she captioned the video.

Evelyn posted another video of herself with a thumbs up as she quietly chuckled over the camera lights flashing outside her window to capture images of Bella.
