Paula Patton looks sensational as she shows off her toned legs in thigh-skimming mini dress at Steve Jobs premiere

She has been enjoying an extended trip to the UK for the past week.

And Paula Patton appeared to be having a wonderful time as she attended the premiere for new biopic, Steve Jobs at the BFI London Film Festival's closing night gala on Sunday. 

The 39-year-old actress looked stunning in a black skater dress with flattering long sleeves while she added an interesting Peter Pan collar to make the outfit pop.

Paula, who was married to singer Robin Thicke for 10 years, showed off her incredible legs in the thigh-skimming number - which despite its high hemline, had a demure feel due to its covered sleeves and high neck. 

The 2 Guns star injected a dash of colour into the ensemble by adding a seemingly-detachable Peter Pan collar in a bright red hue with a scalloped trim, which perfectly coordinated with her large, leather clutch bag in the same colour.  

She flaunted her muscular legs in a pair of barely black tights while adding height to her already statuesque frame with the addition of pointed ankle boots.

Make like Paula in a Maje collar dress

At the BFI closing night gala, Paula Patton stepped out at the Steve Jobs première and she really caught our eye in a cute mini dress.

The American actress obviously wanted to make an impact while she's over here in the UK and she certainly did that on the red carpet. She chose this pretty contrast collar number that at first glance looked like the dress from Valentino's autumn 2014 collection. But on closer inspection the dress was different, especially the collar which wasn't embellished like the Valentino pick. It was Maje who dressed the American beauty, the brand clearly taking inspiration from the Italian fashion house.

Being Maje, this dress is wonderfully affordable, unlike Valentino's which retailed back in 2014 at over $4k! Maje's dress is just $470 and you can still buy it at Net-a-Porter (right) and we think it's a total style steal.

Paula kept her hair and make-up simple by pulling her luscious brunette tresses into a severe high ponytail.

The mother-of-one, who shares five-year-old Julian with Robin, added a dab of rouge to her high-cheekbones while defining her well-shaped eyebrows and sporting a dash of eyeliner topped off with lashings of mascara.

Her jewellery was simple yet stand-out as she wore a series of diamond earrings and a single bangle on her left wrist.

Paula is a busy woman aside from her London stay; she has been busy filming The Do Over, which tells the story of two guys who decide to fake their deaths to reap the benefits, co-starring Adam Sandler and David Spade.

She also has an additional two films in post-production, a video game inspired flick Warcraft and The Perfect Match, starring Terrence Jenkins who portrays a playboy trying to change his ways.

The American beauty is no doubt continuing her transition as a single lady after ending her relationship with Robin last year after the divorce was officially finalised in March 2015.
