Kelly Rowland has been pictured appearing to scold on a security guard while walking the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival on Tuesday.

The singer, 43, had been attending the premiere of the French film Marcello Mio, and looked stunning in a busty red flowing gown.

However, as Kelly made her way up the famous steps at the festival, she appeared to engage in a verbal dispute with a member of security after she held up her arm to guide her into the venue.

Visibly scolding her, Kelly appeared furious who held up her finger to admonish the woman in front of the crowd in attendance.

The security guard appeared to frantically respond to Kelly, who even turned back to continue her tirade as she made her way up the rest of the steps.

It's unclear what caused the dispute. MailOnline has contacted a representative for Kelly for further comment.

Kelly's reaction comes just weeks after the star walked out of an appearance on the Today show in February, though the reason for this has been disputed.

It had been claimed that Kelly skipped out on co-hosting the rest of the Today show alongside anchor Hoda Kotb because she was dissatisfied with her dressing room, forcing Rita Ora to step in at the last minute. 

However sources have since claimed that Kelly had actually walked off the show due to 'disrespect' shown to her by Hoda's co-host Savannah Guthrie who 'aggressively' questioned her about Beyoncé - rather than ask the singer about what she was there to promote - her new film Mea Culpa.

The dressing room excuse was also even seemingly confirmed by Hoda herself, when she offered Rowland to share her dressing next time she comes on the show.

However, it appears Hoda's comments stirred the pot even further, as an insider told The Wrap that Kelly left after she 'felt disrespected' after Guthrie asked her a series of questions about her friend and former bandmate Beyoncé.

'Kelly was offended that Savannah repeatedly and aggressively asked her about Beyoncé,' the insider told the outlet. 

'Kelly was upset about Savannah's aggressive questioning about Beyoncé. She and her team were not happy and felt disrespected.'

A source told TMZ soon after, however, that Kelly was not aggressively asked about Beyonce, and adamantly denied The Wrap's claims.

The Wrap insider said that the dressing room accommodations had nothing to do with Rowland's exit.

'The story was spun that Kelly didn't like her dressing room, but she has been on the Today show numerous times, she and her team know the dressing room set up,' the insider said.

'That would not come as a surprise at all.'

Before Rowland left the set of the NBC chat series, she was asked by Guthrie: 'What do you think about your friend Beyoncé?' to which she replied, 'I'm so proud of her.'

Guthrie then veered the discussion toward Beyoncé's newly-announced foray into country music with her album Act II, asking Rowland, 'Were you surprised and what do you think about it?'

Rowland replied, 'I'm so proud of her - so happy for her.'

The insider told the outlet that Rowland and her team will not agree to an interview that involves questions about Beyoncé and Destiny's Child, as 'she wants to leave that behind' and move forward in her career.

The Wrap reported that the Today show 'does not typically agree to interview topics being off-limits ahead of time,' which could have led to a miscommunication.

Another source told the outlet that Rowland left because of the shoddy dressing room accommodations.

Separate sources told TMZ that the issue was not about Beyonce, and the insider insisted that Rowland's exit was due to the show's dressing rooms - described as 'dumpy, glorified closets.'

Rowland's staffers were unsuccessful in procuring her a new dressing room, as another one upstairs was occupied by Jennifer Lopez, sources said.

Kelly failed to address the real reason for her decision to walk out of The Today Show, insisting in later interviews she was focused on promoting her new movie role.

Ahead of her security clash, Kelly had stunned on the red carpet in a red strapless custom Loewe gown with a lengthy train as she posed for snaps at the event.

Showing off her svelte physique, Kelly's dress included a loose bodice that highlighted her ample cleavage.

The dress flowed into a floor-length skirt with a train that followed Kelly as she made her way along the red carpet.

Adding a touch of glamour to her look, Kelly accessorised with a sparkly diamond necklace and clutch bag.

French director Christophe Honoré returned to Cannes Competition for a third time on Tuesday with comedy Mio Marcello, reuniting him with long time collaborator Chiara Mastroianni.

The comedy taps into the actress’ real-life complex reality of being the daughter of cinema icons Catherine Deneuve and Marcello Mastroianni.

Cannes is the world's biggest film festival, first conceived in 1939 as an alternative to the then-fascist-influenced Venice Film Festival.

It has been held annually since 1946 except in 1948 and 1950, when it was cancelled due to lack of funds.

The festival is known for its carefully selected programme of films that have gone on to Oscar glory or launched the careers of directors like Quentin Tarantino.

Cannes' top prize is the Palme d'Or, or Golden Palm, whose past winners include Taxi Driver, Apocalypse Now, Pulp Fiction, The Pianist and Parasite.

Jane Campion became the first female director to win in 1993 with The Piano, followed by a nearly three-decade gap until Julia Ducournau received the award for Titane in 2021.

Justine Triet became only the third female director to take the prize last year with Anatomy of a Fall.

Almost as prestigious as winning the Palme d'Or, the Cannes Film Festival's top prize, is being on the jury that picks the winner.

Artists from around the world who have made a name for themselves in their respective field are picked to sit on the jury, with one member designated as jury president.

This year's jury president, U.S. director Greta Gerwig, comes to Cannes after the massive success last summer of Barbie.

She is the first female U.S. director to serve as jury president, taking the baton from the head of the 2023 jury, Triangle of Sadness director and two-time Palme d'Or winner, Ruben Ostlund of Sweden.

The breakout star of Martin Scorsese 's Killers of the Flower Moon, Lily Gladstone returns to Cannes after becoming the first Native American woman to be nominated for an Oscar and winning a Golden Globe award for her performance.

One of the writers of the 2014 Palme d'Or-winning film Winter Sleep, Turkish photographer, actor and screenwriter Ebru Ceylan is a familiar face at the festival.

Her first short film, On the Edge, was selected to compete at Cannes in 1998, and she has co-written several movies that were in the main competition line-up, including About Dry Grasses, Three Monkeys and The Wild Pear Tree.

One of the select few women who have starred in a James Bond film, French actor Eva Green is also on the jury.

She has an eclectic resume that includes Ridley Scott's Kingdom of Heaven, smaller-scale projects like Nocebo and TV series Penny Dreadful.

The 12-time winner of Spain 's prestigious Goya Awards, Spanish director Juan Antonio Bayona is on the jury.

He gained international recognition in 2007 with his first feature-length horror movie The Orphanage, produced by award-winning Mexican filmmaker Guillermo del Toro .

His latest, the survival drama and Netflix hit 'Society of the Snow,' netted the director an Oscar nomination for best international feature film at this year's ceremony.

After making a name with 2018's Capernaum, which earned her Golden Globe, BAFTA and Oscar nominations, Lebanese director and screenwriter Nadine Labaki, who has long had ties to Cannes, adds jury member to her list of accolades.

Winner of the 2018 Palme d'Or for Shoplifters, which also nabbed an Oscar nomination, acclaimed Japanese director Hirokazu Kore-eda returns as a main competition jury member after his film Monster won best screenplay at last year's festival.

With a Cesar award - France's equivalent of an Oscar - under his belt for The Intouchables as well as several successful blockbusters, French actor Omar Sy is a Cannes veteran.

The actor with parts in X-Men: Days of Future Past and Jurassic World starred in the opening film of the 2022 Un Certain Regard section at Cannes, Father & Soldier, and will now serve on the jury.
