Actress Massiel Taveras hit the red carpet May 22 at the famous French festival in a white dress with a long train ... covered in the image of Jesus Christ.

Now, new video -- currently going viral on X -- shows Taveras trying to lay out the image so photogs can snap pics of it ... while security in all-black attire attempts to guide her up the stairs.

Check out the clip ... a lot of the tension seems to come from Taveras worrying about the image on the dress being stepped on or covered up -- and, she's passionately protecting the gown from the surrounding security hawks.

But, watch closely ... 'cause the person mostly guiding her up the steps -- and who Taveras shoves -- might look familiar, 'cause it seems to be the same woman who Rowland called out on the red carpet earlier this week.

Remember ... KR seemed to tell off a security guard earlier this week while making her way up the same steps -- with a lip reader telling MailOnline she chastised her for speaking to her rudely.

And, later on in the week, Kelly implied race may have been a factor in the explosive interaction.
