She wore her trademark ginger locks in a ponytail as she accessorised with earrings, a silver watch and a collection of rings. 

Meanwhile, Slumdog Millionaire star Dev, who plays Nicole's adopted son in the film, looked smart in a dark blue suit. 

The 26-year-old went without a tie to go with a grey shirt as he left his curly black locks untamed.

However, the star of the visit was eight-year-old Sunny, who cut a charming figure in a black tuxedo. 

The youngster, who plays a younger version of Dev's character Saroo Brierley in Lion, wore a smart bow tie to complete his dapper ensemble.  

After its release in November, Lion has been touted as a possible winner at next year's Oscars - with Nicole already picking up the Best Supporting Actress Award at the Hollywood Film Awards for her role as Sue Brierley.
