Meanwhile, entrepreneur Mark cut a dashing figure in a black tee, pants and a daring white blazer.

For even more flair, he donned a pair of stylish black sunglasses.

The duo couldn’t keep their hands off each other as they snuggled up and walked the star-studded red carpet.

After a week of disappointing red carpet performances, Monday’s premiere felt a sense of inevitability, a testament to the King Of Rock N’ Roll himself – Mr. Elvis Aaron Presley.

Much like the lead actor himself, the first official screening of “Priscilla” defied modern convention by welcoming an improved guest list, with Priscilla Presley and Bella among the first arrivals at the floating city’s historic lido.

Her performance was followed by a week of relative inactivity at the annual event, which was largely dismissed by many members of Hollywood’s elite as they showed solidarity with the ongoing SAG-AFTRA writers’ strike.

Leading the way was Priscilla, 78, who made her first red carpet appearance since the death of her daughter Lisa-Marie in January, turning heads in a black satin suit with striking sheer sleeves.

She finished off the look with traditional black heels, while a subtle black handbag seemed to be her only accessory of note.
