Sandra Bullock stole the show as she attended the world premiere of the Minions movie in London on Thursday evening - no mean feat when she had to compete with the bright yellow stars of the animated adventure. The beautiful brunette, 50, looked sensational as she hit the special yellow carpet for the fun screening, showing off her long legs in a Stella McCartney brocade dress that featured a asymmetric peplum-style skirt, her long hair worn poker-straight over her shoulders.

"If I see myself on TV, I flip right by it, I do not stop. Louis doesn't know what I do," the star admitted. "He's seen a couple of glimpses. He thought I was an astronaut for a while (because of Gravity). I want it to be so inconsequential and such a non-issue. I want him to be embarrassed by me like all other parents. "I'm going to take him to Minions and see if he recognises the voice, and it he doesn't then we'll just keep moving."
