Conor McGregor attends Cannes film festival decked in daring purple suit alongside Dee Devlin

Conor McGregor stepped out in one of his most daring outfits yet alongside fiancée Dee Devlin at the Cannes film festival.

While fans are used to seeing him sporting colourful summery outfits on social media while stateside or on an exotic holiday, the sight of him in a purple blazer was definitely a new one.

The event, entitled Chopard Gentleman’s Evening, was held at the glamorous 5-star Hotel Martinez.

McGregor's bulked up frame was evident despite being dolled up for the evening.

Himself, Dee and their three children have been in France for the past two weeks or so.

They've primarily spent that time around the pricey destination of Saint-Tropez where they held a joint-birthday celebration for Conor Junior and Rían's fifth and first birthdays respectively.

Other members of both Conor and Dee's families also jetted in to join them for the happy occasion as Tony McGregor as well as Dee's sister Cathy documented their journey to the luxurious coastal spot on social media.

While clearly happy to take his time before making his comeback from last July's grizzly leg break, McGregor has remained steadfast in stating that he will be back in a UFC octagon before too long.

He's not shared any specific details around when or who he'll be facing when fans do next see him compete but he routinely teases his return on Twitter.

Just two days ago he sent out a string of cocky tweets without giving followers the specifics on who'll be across from him in his next bout.

“I feel like I could do you’s (sic) all in. Handy. Any list. I hit you, I change you. And I’m chomping at the bit to see you different.”

He later added: “The Mac Daddy back in action. Sitting on a billion, plotting a killing.”

He then tweeted: “The date of my return is…” before adding “Tick, tock, my left hand is a Glock.”

Lastly, he said: “If you want a knock off me step up and say your piece. I’m still picking who.”

“Just kidding, I well know who. When. What weight. Where. How it goes. Everything. I see dead people.”
