The garment, which also had a sweetheart neckline, showed off Isabel’s incredible figure.
Isabel let her brunette locks fall over her shoulders and completed her look with a pair of hoop earrings.
Actress Zoey Deutch was also present at the closing ceremony and looked incredible in a multicolored checkered ensemble.
The departure comes after James returned to the Cannes red carpet in May, five years after being accused by his students of behaving inappropriately towards them.
The 127 Hours actor smiled as he joined his partner of seven years at the Kinds of Kindness premiere, after disappearing from the spotlight in 2019.
James wore a black suit and bow tie, while actress Pakzad was braless under a low-cut black jacket adorned with metal chains.
She paired it with flared pants and heels while supporting her boyfriend.
Having not worked on any projects since the allegations, James was in Cannes to promote his new film with director Tommy Lee Jones.
The new film, The Razor’s Edge, premiered at Cannes in the hope of attracting buyers and filming is expected to begin in late June.

The departure comes after James returned to the Cannes red carpet in May, five years after he was accused by his students of behaving inappropriately towards them.
It will be his first film appearance since The Deuce in 2018, unless you count his voiceover work in Arctic Dogs the following year.
In 2019, James was accused and sued by five of his students who attended his film school, Studio 4, for behaving inappropriately and sexually toward them; one of her accused him of forcing her to perform oral sex.
James’ attorney denied the allegations at the time and eventually settled the lawsuit. In a podcast interview late last year, Franco reiterated his belief that any sexual contact between him and his students had been consensual.
“During the course of my teaching, I slept with students, and that was wrong,” he said,
Having played leading roles in films such as Spider-Man, Pineapple Express and 127 Hours, James was once a party regular.
