Joe Alwyn has made his first public appearance since his split from Taylor Swift.
Last month, Entertainment Tonight reported that the Conversations with Friends actor and the singer had called it quits after six years together.
A source told the outlet at the time: “It was not dramatic. The relationship had just run its course. It’s why [Joe] hasn’t been spotted at any [of Taylor’s Era Tour] shows.”
Joe has since made his first public appearance since his split from Taylor hit headlines.
The actor stepped out at Celine’s dinner at Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc during the ongoing Cannes Film Festival on Monday.
The 32-year-old looked dapper in a black suit, which he paired with a pale pink satin button-down shirt.

It comes after claims Joe is “distraught” about Taylor’s new rumoured romance with Matty Healy.
The pop singer was linked to The 1975 frontman earlier this month, just weeks after her split from the British actor hit headlines.
The 33-year-old has since been spotted on numerous “dates” with Matty, and he’s even supported her during her ongoing Eras tour.
A source close to Joe has since told DailyMail.com: “Joe feels slighted and is distraught after seeing her budding relationship with Matt, but is doing his best to keep busy and focus on himself.”
Before they struck up an alleged romance, Taylor worked with Matty on her most recent album Midnights, which was released last October.
In January, Taylor also delivered a surprise performance at The 1975’s concert at the O2 Arena in London.
While the source denied any suggestion there was an “overlap” between him and Matty, the insider continued: “Joe was aware that Taylor and Matt were making music together and collaborating. She told him that they had become friends and he trusted her.”
According to The Sun, Taylor and Matty recently struck up a romance, almost ten years after they briefly dated back in 2014.
A source close to Taylor said: “She and Matty are madly in love. It’s super-early days, but it feels right. They first dated, very briefly, almost ten years ago but timings just didn’t work out.”
“Taylor and Joe actually split up back in February, so there was absolutely no crossover.”
“Both Matty and Taylor have been touring over the past few weeks, so it’s been a lot of Face-Timing and texting but she cannot wait to see him again,” the source continued.
“But as two international megastars, they understand the pressures of one another’s jobs better than anyone, and are incredibly supportive of their respective careers.”
“They are both massively proud and excited about this relationship and, unlike Taylor’s last one — which was very much kept out of the spotlight, deliberately — she wants to ‘own’ this romance, and not hide it away.”
“Taylor just wants to live her life, and be happy. She’s told pals Matty is flying to Nashville over the weekend to support her on the next leg of her tour.”
The source added: “Taylor’s pals are absolutely delighted because they reckon she and Matty are a brilliant match. Obviously putting two such famous names together means a lot of fan attention and a LOT of eyeballs on the pair.”
“But Matty and Taylor are sensible enough, and fame-equipped enough, to handle it. Both of them have been — often unfairly — dragged through the ringer on a global scale,” they added. “But crucially, they’re both brilliant, smart, kind people and, quite simply, have each other’s backs.”
It’s understood Taylor split from her ex Joe Alwyn in February, and the actor has since been linked to Scottish actress Emma Laird.
Meanwhile, Matty split from singer-songwriter FKA Twigs last June, after three years together.
In recent months, the 34-year-old has been linked to Canadian model Charlotte Briar d’Alessio, but it’s unknown if they ever made things official.
