While Mara, 30, and Phoenix, 42, have never publicly commented on the nature of their relationship, it was clear the celebrated thespians -- who co-star in the upcoming drama Mary Magdalene -- have a super sweet connection.

Mara was a vision in white, rocking an angelic, bead-embellished Dior gown with three-quart sleeves and a collar, while Phoenix rocked a crisp tuxedo that he paired with black converse sneakers.
The actor apologized for his less-than-formal footwear as he took to the stage to accept his award from actress and Cannes jury member Jessica Chastain, explaining that the win was "totally unexpected."
