Benedict Cumberbatch stylishly dresses up mystery injury on Cannes red carpet
We all dream of looking this chic.
Benedict Cumberbatch had a very chic way of dressing up what could well have been a nasty injury.
The Sherlock Holmes star, 48, sparked concern when he arrived on the Cannes Film Festival red carpet to celebrate his latest film, The Phoenician Scheme.
While, of course, looking as dapper as ever, the actor also found a different use for a silk scarf.
Cumberbatch repurposed the accessory as a makeshift sling, tying it around his neck to support his right arm.
It remains unclear what exactly happened, but it’s evident that this movie star won’t let it hold him back.
Besides his olive green patterned scarf, Cumberbatch oozed sophistication in black trousers and a grey jacket, which he later took off to reveal a baggy brown shirt underneath.

The Imitation Game lead also walked the carpet last night, wearing a black tux and posing proudly with his wife, Sophie Hunter.
Benedict, who has been married to Sophie since 2009 and shares three children with her, also took snaps with his cast members and crew.
The Phoenician Scheme is a comedy/drama, also starring Michael Cera, Riz Ahmed, Benicio del Toro, Rupert Friend, Mia Threapleton, Billy Murray, Jeffrey Wright, Charlotte Gainsbourg, and Antonia Desplat.
Slated for a cinematic release next month, a plot synopsis reads: ‘Wealthy businessman Zsa-zsa Korda (Del Toro) appoints his only daughter, a nun (Threapleton), as sole heir to his estate.
