It was a glamorous night for Charlotte Riley on Wednesday evening, as the British actress stepped out for the Masters of the Universe UK premiere in Leicester Square, London.
The 44-year-old, who married Tom Hardy, 48, in 2014 and shares two children with the actor, looked elegant in an all-black ensemble comprising a silk skirt and a velvet blazer-style jacket fastened with silver buttons. She completed the look with a sleek slicked-back bun and matching silver jewellery.

Charlotte opted to attend the red carpet solo, and her appearance comes amid reports that her husband, Tom Hardy, may be exiting Paramount+ series MobLand following alleged clashes with producers.
Writing in the Puck newsletter, Matthew Belloni, The Hollywood Reporter's former Editorial Director, wrote: "I'm told Paramount recently opted not to pick up Hardy for season three after his clashes with producers Jez Butterworth and David Glasser, among others, during the recent production of season two."
