Bollywood actress Jacqueliene Fernandez, who has walked the prestigious red carpet at the 77th Cannes Film Festival, on Wednesday, treated fans to mesmerising pictures of herself in a white strapless structured ensemble from the French Riviera. Jacqueliene, who was last seen in the movie “Cirkus” took to Instagram and dropped a string of photos, wherein we can see her in a strapless white knee-length dress, with pearl embroidery on it. For makeup, the “Housefull 3” actress opted for brown lips, eyeliner, thick brows and contoured cheeks. She tied her hair in a bun with some strands of hair left loose on her forehead. She accessorised the look with a diamond necklace and a ring. Jacqueliene is smiling candidly for the cameras, as she soaks up the sun.

The post is captioned: “Soaking up the sun, the movies and the magic of Cannes!” The diva walked the ramp for BMW India for the premiere of “The Substance” at Cannes.

On the work front, she next has “Fateh” with Sonu Sood in the pipeline. The movie, produced by Shakti Sagar Productions and Zee Studios, revolves around the complexities and challenges of cybercrime.

“Fateh” is all set to hit the screens this year.

Meanwhile, Jacqueliene, an avid animal lover, has stepped forward in support of them, urging everyone to adopt instead of shop. Jacqueliene recently took to Instagram and shared a video on her story section. The clip showcased distressing conditions in which dogs, including two Pomeranians, one husky, and one poodle, were kept by a breeder before being rescued. The actress, who herself is a cat mom, captioned the clip: “Another reason to adopt and not shop. The animal breeding industry is cruel and often illegal.”

The actress will also feature in “Welcome to the Jungle,” the third instalment of the “Welcome franchise,” reportedly set for release in Christmas 2024. The first instalment of the “Welcome” series was released in 2007, starring Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif, Anil Kapoor, Nana Patekar, and Paresh Rawal in lead roles.

The second instalment, titled “Welcome Back,” was released in 2015 and featured John Abraham and Shruti Haasan.
