It's the most high profile role Basinger has had in several years, since she starred as Eminem's mother in 2002's Eight Mile.

She won a best supporting actress Academy Award for her role in the 1997 film L.A. Confidential.

But she is undoubtedly best remembered for her star turn opposite Mickey Rourke in the steamy 9½ Weeks in 1986.

Basinger, who shares daughter Ireland with ex-husband Alec Baldwin from whom she had an acrimonious divorce, showed off her slim figure in her designer dress.

She added a lilac manicure and chandelier earrings and her signature blonde hair was styled in voluminous waves with a side parting.

Basinger joined the films' stars Dornan and Dakota Johnson at the premiere for the film that opens in North America on February 12.

In the sequel to the 2015 worldwide  hit, Dornan's character Christian wrestles with his inner demons while protagonist Anastasia Steele, played by Dakota Johnson, must confront the anger and envy of the women who came before her.
