First-look: Helen Mirren stepped back in time for a more retro aesthetic in the newly-released poster for forthcoming film Trumbo, which was unveiled on Friday
Wearing a pink suit with a decorative hat, the outspoken actress looked demure in the new promotional material, which was released on Friday as a teaser to the project.
Clutching a pair of pearls, she poses up a storm in the photo-shopped image.
The movie - released November 26th in the US - also stars Louis C.K., Elle Fanning, John Goodman and Michael Stuhlbarg, although they're not visible in the artwork.

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.
