Naomi Campbell careening around with an entourage. Movie stars dancing with Baz Lurhmann. Superagents off the clock. It must be a Cannes Film Festival premiere after party!

“Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” star Anya Taylor-Joy arrived late at its bash after first attending a party for Dior, a source tells Page Six — but she made up for lost time by dancing with “Moulin Rouge” director Baz Luhrmann to the song “Lady Marmalade,” which featured in his 2001 movie.

Meanwhile, Campbell came sweeping into the party with what one spy claims was no less than a nine person entourage, with one member of her crew clipping a guest as they sped by, almost toppling them over.

Campbell, 53, hung with the film’s stars — who include Taylor-Joy, 28, and Chris Hemsworth — as well as stylist Law Roach, who dressed her for the evening in a sequin Chanel couture dress that she originally wore on the red carpet at Cannes in 1996.

The supermodel had changed looks for the party, with an onlooker telling us Roach was seen dutifully adjusting her skirt.

The party, held on the beach, followed the film getting a standing ovation.

The “Mad Max: Fury Road” prequel is getting raves from film critics, and got approval from Cannes Film Festival jury president, “Barbie” director Greta Gerwig.

The movie party was decked out in fiery decor.

A spy at the party at Hyde Beach on the Croisette tells us they saw Gerwig gushing to director George Miller, 79, how much she loved the film.

“I love it so much,” Gerwig, 40, was overheard saying, calling one scene, “heartfelt, but hilarious… It was so great.”

She also told him, “It’s beyond. It’s so cool,” and she compared the high-speed action sequences to “a dance,” like a “ballet.”

“Barbie” director and Cannes Film Festival jury head gushed to director George Miller about the film.

The movie, which reportedly cost $168 million to make, got a seven-minute standing ovation.

Hemsworth hung out at the film’s fete, which featured flowing Campari.

CAA power agents Bryan Lourd and Kevin Huvane were also spotted at the Warner Bros.’ bash, which was hosted this year by the studio’s co-chairs Michael De Luca and Pamela Abdy.

The movie is one of the most buzzed about at the French festival.

In the highly anticipated movie, Taylor-Joy plays a younger version of Charlize Theron’s character from the 2015 flick “Mad Max: Fury Road.” 

“I wanted to be changed,” Taylor-Joy has said of making the film. “I wanted to be put in a situation in extremis where I would have no choice but to grow. And I got it.”
