The enchanting atmosphere of The Royal Festival Hall in London was taken to new heights on Tuesday as A-listers gathered for the much-anticipated world premiere of Wonka.

Among the stars who graced the red carpet, none shone brighter than Academy Award winning actress Olivia Colman, who brought her A-game to the event.

Stepping into the limelight, the 49-year-old actress, who is already being lauded for her role as Mrs. Scrubbit in the film, effortlessly showcased her timeless elegance in a stunning black floor-length cape gown. The dress boasted a perfect balance of sophistication and allure, featuring a sheer panel and intricate cut-out detailing that added a touch of contemporary flair. Dramatic lengths of fabric cascaded from her shoulders, creating a dramatic yet tasteful effect that reached down to the floor.

But it wasn't just Colman's dress that captured attention; she also debuted a striking platinum blonde hair colour, exuding an air of confidence and modernity. Against the backdrop of festive Christmas trees lining the red carpet, the star’s elegance reflected her impeccable sense of style.
