Bijou Phillips is vacationing in the South of France on a girls' trip with her celebrity friends, while her estranged husband Danny Masterson serves a prison sentence for rape.

The 44-year-old actor, known for her role in ‘Almost Famous,’ documented the luxurious getaway on Instagram, sharing photos with socialite Nicky Hilton, 40, and singer Paris Jackson, 26.

Phillips took to Instagram, sharing photos including a mirror selfie in a chartreuse dress and posing with Hilton in front of a red phone booth. 

“Best girls trip ever! ‍♀️ Had sooooo much fun! It was a dream. Love you soooo much! @nickyhilton ❤️‍♀️❤️❤️❤️,” she wrote.

Hilton also posted about the “girls trip,” captioning a carousel of photos, “Girls trip ‍♀️ South of France edition ⚓️🇫🇷.” 

The post featured Phillips in a pink-and-white dress with their group, posing in evening wear with Jackson, and laughing in a casual selfie with Hilton.

The girls' trip coincided with the Cannes Film Festival, where Phillips and Hilton were spotted attending the Kilian Paris “Sunkissed Goddess” Party at the Salama Restaurant on May 22.

This vacation comes just three months after Phillips' estranged husband, 48-year-old Danny Masterson, was denied bail while appealing his 2023 rape conviction and 30-years-to-life sentence.

Following Masterson's sentencing, Phillips filed for divorce. The judge who denied Masterson bail appeal cited his lack of ties to the community, including his estranged wife, as a potential flight risk.

“If defendant’s conviction and sentence are upheld on appeal, he will likely remain in custody for decades and perhaps the rest of his life,” Judge Charlaine Olmedo stated, according to Deadline. 

“In light of the fact that defendant has no wife to go home to, defendant now has every incentive to flee and little reason to return to state prison to serve out the remainder of his lengthy sentence should his appeal be unsuccessful,” Olmedo added.
