John Travolta and his wife Kelly Preston turned the premiere of their new film Gotti into a family affair, as they walked the red carpet with their two children on Tuesday.

The glamorous couple stood alongside their daughter Ella Bleu and son Benjamin, marking their first appearance as a family in Cannes Film Festival.

The Grease icon looked dapper in a sharp black velvet tuxedo as he led his family past awaiting cameras with a smile.

Travolta proudly presented his family on the red carpet ahead of the screening in which he takes on the lead role, no doubt happy to have them by his side

His wife Kelly, who he is co-starring in new film Gotti, was breathtaking in a strapless busty gown.

The actress donned an embellished dress which was belted around the middle in velvet, accentuating her sensational figure.

Kelly, who held the hand of her youngest child, added a touch more sparkle to her outfit with a pair of statement earrings.

Opting for a similar style, Ella, 18, also donned a dramatic tulle frock, which was adorned with a bold monochrome pattern.

The striking beauty covered her floor-length gown with a cropped black cardigan while working the red carpet.

Ella, who is herself a budding actress, wore her raven locks loose, and again taking inspiration from her mother, added glitz with a pair of earrings.

Also looking stylish for the event was the Travolta’s son Ben, who was making his first outing on the red carpet at the age of seven.

Travolta has previously described his son Ben as ‘the glue’ that held the family together following the tragic loss of their other son Jett, who died aged 16 in 2009.

Ben, who was born three years later in November 2012, gave the Travolta’s the ability to ‘re-bond after a tremendous loss’, Travolta has previously claimed.

Jett died after unexpectedly suffering a seizure during a family holiday in the Bahamas in 2009.

During an 1994 interview his father said: ‘I can’t imagine what life would be like without Jett.

After he was born and cleaned up, I held him for hours while Kelly slept. When they came to take him away for various tests, I said, ‘No, you can’t see him today. You’ll have to do it another day. I went a little nutsy.’

Five years after his loss Travolta revealed that losing Jett was the ‘worst thing that ever happened to him’, reports Closer.

He said that he didn’t know if he was going to make it and he no longer found life interesting.

This is the fifth time the couple have teamed up on-screen, previously starring in The Experts (1989), Battlefield Earth (2000), Old Dogs (2009), and From Paris With Love (2010).
