May 20 (UPI) -- Demi Moore walked the red carpet with her dog Pilaf on Monday.

The actress, 61, brought the pup to the Cannes Film Festival photocall for her film The Substance.

Moore wore a white Elie Saab midi dress with black polka dots and a tweed-like fabric. She accessorized with black and white pointed-toe pumps and oversized sunglasses.

The star was all smiles as she posed with Pilaf, the tiny Chihuahua who first appeared on Moore's social media in 2022.

"Pilaf, the little mouse, is a star. She's a pound and a half," Moore said on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in February. "She is a treasure. She's like my little extra heart."
