Gemma knotted a stylish red scarf around her neck, and appeared to wear a black slip dress under the eye-catching coat.

In keeping with the 1920's glamour of the setting, she wore a pair of pointed court shoes with a low heel, and styled her brunette bob into a smart loose wave.

The beauty added a pop of colour with a matching red lipstick to complement her attire, and appeared to be deep in concentration as she strutted down the road.

Gemma is playing poet, novelist and garden designer Vita - who had a decade-long affair with writer Virginia Woolf.

It's based on the play of the same name by Atkins which was performed in London in October 1993 and off Broadway in November 1994.

The play was written based on the love letters between the two iconic feminists and has been described as 'a fresh, provocative study of creativity, passion, sex and sexuality'.

Rupert Penry-Jones, Peter Ferdinando and Sam Hardy also star, with the latter playing Vita's son Nigel Sackville-West.

The casting of Elizabeth comes after French actress Eva Green pulled out from playing Woolf in the biopic back in February.
