Letting the designer dress take center stage, Rosamund choose to go jewelry-free for the look. 

For beauty, the English rose wore her dark blonde locks loosely with natural texture.

She added a subtle smoky effect around her eyes with a wash of grey shadow which she paired with a nude pout.

The actress joined forces with co-star Christian Bale and director Scott Cooper on the red carpet.

Bale appeared slightly huskier than usual, having just packed on extra pounds to play the role of former Vice President Dick Cheney.

The 6foot tall star looked handsome in a well-tailored three piece suit worn with shortly buzzed hair and a tidy wash of stubble across his jaw. 

Opposite the Batman actor, American director Cooper was stylish in a slim black suit worn with a white shirt sans tie.

The auteur styled his hair into an aerodynamic coif while leaving a sparse goatee upon his face.
