Daisy Edgar-Jones stepped out with rarely-seen boyfriend Ben Seed amid the Cannes Film  Festival on Monday, just hours after her racy red carpet appearance. 

The actress, 27, looked chic in a black velvet mini dress which she teamed with a matching oversized blazer.

Daisy completed the look with a pair of black mules and a simple necklace with her hair tied back while strands framed her dainty features.

Meanwhile photographer Ben, 37, cut a suave figure in a classic black tuxedo that was layered over a crisp white shirt and dickie bow. 

Earlier in the evening Daisy joined the likes of Demi Moore, 63, and Sharon Stone, 68, at the Fjord premiere. 

She went braless beneath a sequinned gown which also boasted a daringly high-cut split as she showcased her jaw-dropping figure.

 The couple are relatively private and generally keep their romance under wraps, rarely speaking about one another in interviews.

However, Ben is no stranger to a high-profile relationship, having previously dated The Queen's Gambit star Anya Taylor-Joy.

He split up with Anya ahead of her beating Daisy to the best actress at the Golden Globes in 2021.

Meanwhile, Daisy split from her ex-boyfriend Tom Varey in late 2020 after two years of dating.

Daisy is said to be on 'cloud nine' with Ben, who also goes by the artist name Pip.

A source previously told The Sun: 'Daisy and Pip got together earlier this year and have become inseparable. 

'They have both had some free time this summer and love hanging out in Broadway Market in East London, just going to bars and spending time together.

The look left very little to the imagination 

She added extra sparkle with a striking diamond necklace 

'There’s a real spark there and they are excited about finding each other. They’ve already met one another’s friends and she is on cloud nine.' 

While Daisy is now enjoying a romance with Ben, Anya has moved on and is loved-up with her husband Malcolm McRae.

They secretly tied the knot in New Orleans nearly four years ago before going on to have a second wedding in Venice in October 2023.

Elsewhere, Daisy revealed what it is really like working with Hollywood's 'internet boyfriends', referring to her co-stars including Paul Mescal and Glen Powell.

Speaking to Elle, Daisy explained: 'I have worked with basically all of the internet's boyfriends, and I'm lucky that every actor I've worked with has been incredibly supportive of me being the lead. Glen, Sebastian, Paul, all of them.

'I think that's why they're so successful and so loved and so good: that they are so generous, and they really serve the story and are not serving themselves.

'Glen was always like, "What's Kate's journey in this? Let's find it." And same with Sebastian; he was so completely invested in Noa's journey.

'Paul's like playing tennis with your best friend. I'm nervous for the point that it comes to working with someone who might not be so chill with it! 

'Because there's so much ego that can exist in this industry.'
