What happens in Cannes…well, doesn't stay in Cannes, actually. Not when the whole world is watching and anticipating your every move, that is.

Which is exactly what happened for our favorite couple today at the On the Road premiere held in the French Riviera. As we first told you, Robert Pattinson hit the red carpet to support gal-pal Kristen Stewart as she debuted her anticipated adaptation of the classic novel.

And don't they just make one dapper couple?!

Unfortunately though, the couple did not walk together—guess we will have to wait until Breaking Dawn Part 2 debuts to see some red carpet photos of the twosome, eh?

We can't wait! It'll be so bittersweet! But back to the movie premiere at hand…

Instead, Kristen hit the prestigious carpet (along with its infamous staircase) with her On the Road cast and alternated on the arms of costars Tom Sturridge, Garrett Hedlund and Sam Riley for photo ops.

The Twilight leading lady was decked out in a killer Balenciaga gown (a follow up to her chic Balenciaga pants and jacket from earlier this morning, natch) and continued the tour de couture she kicked off with her fab Snow White and the Huntsman premiere gown.

As for Rob?

The dude looked spiffy and fairly clean shaven (what would our R.Pattz be without a little scruff?) in a traditional black suit as he posed for a pics before heading into the theater to watch his lady's movie.

Inside the theater, K.Stew stuck with her cast while Rob sat in the row in front them, though he did clap for the entirety of the cast—including, of course, his real life Bella Swan—as they entered and took their seats.

Too cute!

Mama Jules Stewart was also in attendance (reuniting the Stewart women after Kristen's work schedule kept her away from her mom's K-11 Cannes debut).

Now here's the big question: Think Kristen will return the favor and hit the red carpet (in, fingers crossed, another killer designer gown) for the Cosmopolis premiere Friday?
