The red, black and white printed garment flattered her lovely figure with ease, and she drew further attention to her baby bump with her chic Chanel handbag sitting on her hip.

She kept it simple with a pair of black strappy flat sandals with a chain detail down the foot, and a pair of perspex shades on her face.

Keira wore her brunette locks down for the day, framing her pretty face.

James, 31, kept close to his lovely wife, holding her hand pretty much for the duration of their amble around town.

The Klaxons star looked every inch the rocker in his rolled-up black skinny jeans and cool white shirt, his hair mussed up and with shades on.

While British actress has yet to reveal a specific due date for her arrival, she's believed to be around seven months pregnant.

Her look on Wednesday is the latest in a long line of impressive ensembles from the Oscar-nominated beauty, who consistently wowed on the red carpets during the busy awards season in January and February

She received several nominations for Supporting Actress awards at the ceremonies - including the Oscars and the Golden Globes - for her role as code breaker Joan Clarke in the hugely successful The Imitation Game.

Sadly, she lost out on the Oscar and the Golden Globe prizes to Patricia Arquette, who swept the awards season board for her role in Boyhood.

Despite the losses, Keira put on a fantastic showing on the red carpets throughout the season, flaunting her growing bump in an array of dazzling, stylish and appropriate gowns.

Although she's looking forward to welcoming her first child with her Klaxons rocker into the world, Keira admitted to US chat show host Jimmy Kimmel that she's 'in denial' about it.

During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in February, she was asked by the host if she had got the baby's room ready yet.

'No. They're quite small though right?' she revealed, before adding: 'Do they need a room of their own?'

Jimmy explained to the confused-looking actress that she would be needing to prepare a room for her child, adding that there needs to be space for a crib.

She replied in a jokey, light-hearted manner: 'OK... I'm in denial at the moment.'
