Felicity donned a picture-perfect look in a teal blue suit and wore her tumbling locks in perfect curls in the new promotional images.

Armie Hammer takes on his role as Ruth's husband Marty who puts on a similarly stylish display in a freshly cut grey three-piece suit as he walks alongside his determined wife.

The story follows Ruth as she teams up with her husband to bring a groundbreaking case of gender discrimination before the U.S. Court of Appeals.

Overturning a century of gender discrimination, the inspiring story will be released this year to tie in perfectly with 2018's Year of the Woman and Justice Ginsburg’s 25th anniversary on the Supreme Court.

The handsome Armie is a tax attorney, worlds away from his most recent role in 2017's coming-of-age film Call Me by Your Name.

Sporting a blue and green skater dress, it is clear from the trailer that Ruth means business as her passion for overcoming gender discrimination is exposed when she revels in excelling her all-male law classmates.

Kathy Bates and Sam Waterson are also set to appear in supporting roles in the inspirational story.
