With her impeccable style and elegance she is rarely seen to lose her composure. 

Yet Rosamund Pike had a brief moment of grief when she was seen nearly hitting a bollard as she whipped her stunning vintage car around London earlier in the week.

The 37-year-old Gone Girl star looked amazing behind the wheel of the mint green motor before taking a dodgy turn and narrowly avoiding the roadside.

Oops! Rosamund Pike had a brief moment of grief when she was seen nearly hitting a bollard as she whipped her stunning vintage car around London earlier in the week

Rosamund looked typically chic and preened as she zipped around her native city in the car, which stood out among its modern day equivalents.

As she turned a rather narrow corner, the blonde beauty just about avoided hitting a roadside bollard after which she put on an expressive display. 

With the help of a construction worker nearby, Rosamund managed to tackle the manoeuvre while avoiding doing any damage to the impressive car.

After the tricky turn, the actress was seen pointing at herself and then to the road - seemingly in disbelief at the turn of events.

Rosamund's jaunt around London comes after she was the hot topic of conversation in a recent chat with the city's new mayor Sadiq Khan. 

In an interview with HuffPost UK, he weighed in on the hot debate of who will be the next actor to take the role of James Bond. 

Khan toyed with the idea of a female Bond, suggesting that Oscar-nominated Rosamund would play the part well as would Naomi Harris.

Amid reports Daniel Craig is set to quit the franchise, the topic has been widely discussed, with Rosamund, who played a Bond girl in Die Another Day, in the forefront. 

The new mayor said: 'How about a woman? A woman Bond. Rosamund Pike would be pretty good. Naomi Harris would be pretty good...I know she’s got another role.'

The blonde beauty is in the midst of working on a host of projects including action thriller High Wire Act and drama A United Kingdom.
