Opting for a pale and complementary palette of make-up, thought the star plumped up her lips with a bold flash of red lipstick.

With their daughter by their side, Milla and Paul looked in their element.

Ever has been hired to play the Red Queen, an evil supercomputer whose avatar is a little girl.

In a Facebook live discussion, Milla told her daughter: 'It was so amazing to work with you. You are [an] unbelievably talented actress, more talented than I’ve ever been. It was an honor and a privilege to work with you.'

The family were joined at the event by her equally glamorous co-stars Ali Larter and Rola, who both put their best foot forward in figure-flaunting dresses.

The film, supposedly the final installment in the big screen adaption of Capcom's famed survival horror game series, see Milla reprise her role as Alice.

Picking up immediately after the events in Resident Evil: Retribution, the former Umbrella agent is the only survivor of what was meant to be humanity's final stand against the undead.

Now to save the world from zombies and Umbrella's diabolical plans Alice must return to where the nightmare began - The Hive in Raccoon City, where the Umbrella Corporation is gathering its forces for a final strike against the only remaining survivors of the apocalypse.

The films has been written and directed by Milla's husband, who has helmed all the previous films, and at New York Comic Con in October he spilled the beans on what The Final Chapter would address.

Paul told a panel in a Q&A: 'It's a return to the very beginning of the franchise, Raccoon City, or what's left of it after we dropped a bomb on it in the second film. It's a return to The Hive for Alice, where it all started, and this is where we find out the truth about [her life prior to her memory being wiped].'

And answering all the questions will be an emotional journey, he said: 'This movie will have a level of emotional engagement that will be surprising for a Resident Evil movie.'

However, Milla may not be as ready to say goodbye to Alice as after her husband wrapped up she joked that there could be, 'The Final Chapter… Part 2'.

Resident Evil: The Final Chapter is in theaters on January 27, 2017.

Time for action: Picking up immediately after the events of the last film, the former Umbrella agent is the only survivor of what was meant to be humanity's final stand against the undead
