The woman who left Kylian Mbappé speechless during his recent trip to the Cannes Film Festival has seen her social media following skyrocket.
French superstar and PSG teammate Ousmane Dembélé was absent from the Parisian team that completed its Ligue 1 season with a 2-0 win at Metz.
Instead, the couple ventured to the south of France for the famous festival, where Mbappé was mesmerized by a woman who approached their table waving a French flag.
The 25-year-old was deep in conversation with Dembélé and other friends who joined him at the luxurious La Guerité restaurant when the woman surprised him into silence.
It has now been revealed that he has seen his Instagram followers increase by more than 60,000 since their meeting on Sunday. The woman has reportedly been identified as an influencer named Lea.

The woman has seen her social media following skyrocket since the meeting with Mbappé on Sunday.
She has reportedly been identified as an influencer named Lea, with a follower count now approaching 100,000 on Instagram.
After confirming his departure from PSG earlier this month, Mbappé hosted an extravagant party for 250 guests at a posh Italian restaurant on Monday night.
PSG teammates, club staff and friends of the French star gathered at Gigi, a venue inspired by Venetian palaces located a few steps from the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe.
The restaurant’s menu includes a €160 (£137) Cote de Boeuf for two people sharing, roasted Norwegian lobster for €78 (£67) and Dover sole dish for €68 (£58).
Mbappé, 25, who has scored 256 goals in 307 games during seven seasons at the Parc des Princes, confirmed his departure – probably to Real Madrid – on May 10.
His mother and agent, Fayza Lamari, joked with journalists who had gathered outside the venue saying: ‘You already know that, right?’ her when she was asked about her son’s upcoming club.
Le Parisien reported that the majority of the PSG squad attended, with Danilo Pereira and Nuno Mendes the first to arrive before Mbappé made his entrance around 7:30 p.m. accompanied by his brother Ethan.
PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi was not present because he reportedly had a fight with Mbappé after he announced his departure from the club.
Le Parisien said Lamari answered some questions from a group of journalists outside as he departed at 11:30 p.m., appearing to confirm without actually saying that Mbappé is heading to Madrid.
He could sign for the French Cup final this Saturday against Lyon, which is being played in Lille.
Mbappé has won 13 trophies during his time at PSG and has been their top scorer every season since he arrived permanently.
Mbappé bid farewell to PSG by winning the league title for the seventh time in his career, but again fell short in the Champions League, losing to Borussia Dortmund in the semi-finals.
After this weekend, Mbappé will focus on captaining France at the European Championship in Germany.
They play warm-up friendlies against Luxembourg on June 5 and Canada on June 9 before opening their campaign in the group stage against Austria on June 17.
