It premiered at Cannes Film Festival recently, and now its stars have headed Down Under for a Sydney celebration, which took place last night at the State Theatre in Sydney’s CBD.

The event was attended by Luhrmann himself, as well as wife Austin Butler, who plays Elvis Presley in the film.

They were also joined by Tom Hanks, who portrays Elvis’s manager Colonel Tom Parker, and Olivia DeJonge, who is starring as Priscilla Presley.

The occasion was also a chance for our favourite local stars to dress up to the nines and hit the town, each one more fabulous than the last.
