Amber Heard looks radiant in a chic cream ensemble at the premiere of her movie at the Taormina Film Festival – as she returns to the big screen for the first time since the Johnny Depp trial

Amber Heard looked radiant in a chic cream ensemble on Friday night after attending the premiere of her new film at the Taormina Film Festival in Italy.

The actress, 37, stars in thriller In The Fire, her first foray back to the big screen since losing the 2022 defamation case brought by her ex-husband Johnny Depp, 60.

And Amber put the court drama behind her as she smiles and laughed with her Italian co-star Luca Calvani, 48, and other pals after promoting the film at the festival.

The beauty slipped into a plain white top and a cream midi skirt with a front split which highlighted her toned pins.

She teamed her evening outfit with a simple black clutch and black court shoes which she later removed during the outing.

Amber left her wavy blonde locks loose for the occasion, while she amped up the glam with a sweep of bold red lipstick.

Despite her recent legal woes, the mother-of-one looked happier than ever as she laughed and joked with her pals amid the film festival. 

Her appearance marks the first time she has promoted a film since her court battle.

The plot of film In The Fire is set in Colombia in 1899. 

The synopsis on the festival’s website, reveals that Amber will play a widowed American psychiatrist who ‘arrives in a rich farm in Colombia after being called to solve the case of a disturbed child.’ 

The boy’s mother is concerned about accusations by a local priest that her child is possessed by the devil.

‘When the doctor arrives, she discovers that the boy’s mother is dead and that the father himself has begun to believe in the possible possession of the child.’

While the doctor uses the still new practice to try to cure the child, it becomes a race against time to save the boy, and perhaps her own life.
