They've been married for 18 years, and the pair looked happier than ever at their latest red carpet event.

Dame Helen Mirren and husband Taylor Hackford both beamed from ear-to-ear at the premiere of her new film Trumbo at the Toronto Film Festival on Saturday.

The 70-year-old British actress looked the epitome of style in a dainty red ankle-length, floral gown, with three-quarter length scalloped sleeves.

She finished off the look with matching black pointy heels, and a patent black shoulder bag with a gold clasp.

Helen wore her blonde bob casually around her shoulders and opted for minimal make-up, with just a touch of red lipstick.

She was elegantly understated when it came to her jewellery choice too, with just a gold watch and thin gold chain.

Very much in love: The pair clearly enjoyed spending time together at the event, as they stared lovingly at each other, smiling and laughing

Looking dapper: Helen's film-director husband Taylor Hackford looked smart too, in a grey three-piece, with a crisp white shirt, and dark tie

Helen plays Hedda Hopper in Trumbo, one of America's best-known gossip columnists in the 1930s, notorious for feuding with her arch-rival Louella Parsons.

She stars alongside Bryan Cranston, Diane Lane, Elle Fanning and John Goodman.

Dame Helen had already proved she rarely puts a foot wrong in the style stakes, on Friday, where she stunned in a contrasting black gown at the premiere of Eye In The Sky.

She was a vision in a monochrome, floral Dolce and Gabbana dress, which effortlessly flattered her hourglass figure.

Oh, to be Dame Helen Mirren. An Oscar under her belt, still beautiful at 70 and all access to the Italian brand Dolce & Gabbana whenever a premiere beckons.

At the Toronto International Film Festival on Friday, Helen promoted her film Eye in the Sky in a floor-length black gown with a white floral motif. This is a one-off for the actress and the latest in a series of Dolce & Gabbana dresses she's worn lately. We love the demure cut of this dress juxtaposed with the sheer long sleeves. Just perfect!

Sadly, because this dress was made for Helen, we mere mortals will never get our hands on one.

But cheer up. We found some pretty good lookalikes below that won't break the bank. Check out the Kensie sheer overlay maxi dress at Off 5th for only 19.99!

Dame Helen - who received her Damehood in 2003 for Services To The Performing Arts - styled her outfit with a gold box clutch and a delicate silver necklace.

The Academy Award-winning star added a pop of colour to her look with an inspired, dark magenta lip.

In the film - also starring Breaking Bad's Aaron Paul, Harry Potter's Alan Rickman and Captain Phillips' Barkhad Abdi - Dame Helen plays Colonel Katherine Powell.

Her character locates a dissident she's been tracking for years in a Nairobi shantytown, but it's close to innocent civilians going about their day.

Col. Katherine faces a moral dilemma as to whether she should order the strikes, targeting terrorists but considering the cost of collateral damage.

Speaking to Jane Stevenson from the Toronto Sun at the TIFF, the former M&S model explained why she doesn't find the growing use of drones in modern warfare alarming.

She said: 'No I didn’t find the use of them shocking. My parents had doodle bugs dropping bombs on their heads so that sort of technology – remote – has actually been going on for a long, long time.

'Technology is moving forward and all we can do is accept it.'
