Per the official Cannes synopsis: \u201cOverqualified and undervalued, Rita is a lawyer at a large firm that is more interested in getting criminals off the hook than bringing them to justice. One day, she is given an unexpected way out, when cartel leader Manitas hires her to help him withdraw from his business and realize a plan he has been secretly preparing for years: to become the woman he has always dreamt of being.\u201d<\/p>\n\n![\"Selena](\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Selena-Gomez-Cries-During-9-Minute-Standing-Ovation-at-Cannes-Film-Festival-for-Her-Emilia-Perez-Movie.jpg?w=1000&quality=86&strip=all\")

For the Emilia P\u00e9rez<\/em> red carpet on Saturday, Gomez wore a black Saint Laurent gown with a white off-the-shoulder neckline and black platform Santoni heels. She topped off the look with Bulgari jewelry, including an impressive diamond choker, several rings and earrings.<\/p>\nOne day prior, Gomez was spotted looking chic but casual in a white knitted minidress by Self-Portrait with black and white Roger Vivier pumps. That night, she donned a custom navy Oscar de la Renta gown with black embellishments across the neckline, and the mid-calf hemline showed off her black Santoni pumps.<\/p>\n
Gomez noted that she\u2019s excited about taking on other challenging acting endeavors<\/a>, saying, \u201cI love being able to take roles that I have to fight for, not the ones that are being handed to me. I\u2019m going for the stuff that really, really inspires me.\u201d<\/p>\nHer Cannes appearance comes after Gomez declared in March that she was focused on acting projects more than her music career right now.<\/p>\n
