The blonde actress sported a floral dress in pink and blue that - aside from being scoop-neck - was also almost floor-length in design.  

She matched the outfit with a blue cardigan and a pair of slip-on pink suede shoes. 

Clearly dressed to impress, she was certainly on form as she paraded in front of film fans and local press agents.

Evidently in a confident mood, she posed up a storm for the cameras and - at one point - even blew a kiss to onlookers. 

Later joined by the film's director, Simon Curtis, who was equally as dapper in a navy blue suit and matching shirt. 

Together, they looked delighted to be out in force, where they were promoting the film about an elderly Jewish woman who attempts to reclaim family possessions that were seized by the Nazis.

Yet, many of her followers were also getting excited about another movie she stars in. 

On Friday, film bosses released a never-seen-before poster of forthcoming movieTrumbo, in which Helen co-stars.

The British performer can be seen alongside co-stars Bryan Cranston and Diane Lane, where they're flanked by palm trees and film-studio search lights.

The project has been filming in New Orleans for the past few weeks, but this is the first time Helen has been seen in character - playing famous gossip columnist Hedda Hopper.

The film follows the successful career of Hollywood screenwriter, Dalton Trumbo (played by Cranston), which came to an end when he was blacklisted in the 1940s for being a communist.

The Oscar-winning actress has plenty to get her teeth into for the part of Hopper, who enjoyed a career on stage and screen, before being offered her own column Hedda Hopper's Hollywood for the Los Angeles Times in 1938.

There will certainly be some fiery scenes between Bryan and Helen, too, as their characters go head-to-head in the movie's plot.

Dalton Trumbo was blacklisted from Hollywood as a screenwriter in 1947 after refusing to testify before the House Committee on Un-American Activities.

Hopper (played by Helen) was one of Trumbo's worst enemies, and supported his blacklisting.

In the book Hedda Hopper's Hollywood: Celebrity Gossip and American Conservatism author Jennifer Frost wrote that Hopper condemned a group of men - including Trumbo - that were known as 'the Hollywood Ten' who had all been members of the communist party.
