Gemma Arterton turns heads in black jumpsuit at TIFF

She was seen joking around with co-star Dominic Cooper on the red carpet earlier this week.

But Gemma Arterton showed a more serious side to her beauty in a series of striking poses taken as part of a photo shoot at the Toronto International Film Festival.

The English Rose, 31, who is at the event to promote her new film, The Escape, looked demure in a sweeping black jumpsuit which showed off her tiny waist and flat stomach.

The British actress, who rose to fame after securing the role of Kelly Jones in the fun school comedy St Trinian’s in 2007, was seen laughing and joking with co-star Dominic at the premiere of The Escape earlier in the day.

He looked typically suave in a clean-cut burgundy suit, layered on top of a black shirt as he and Gemma posed on the red carpet at The Escape premiere.

The pair were then seen laughing and joking together as they patiently awaited the debut of their new film.

The film focuses on the idea of women who leave their children and families – with Gemma portraying struggling mother-of-two Tara, who buys a one-way ticket from London to Paris, following a fight with her husband Mark (Cooper).

The film premiered in the Special Presentations section of TIFF, and is set to hit cinemas later this year.  

Gemma’s high spirited demeanour meanwhile may have been due to her reported new romance with actor Rory Keenan, 37.

The pair were reportedly seen kissing at the the British Summer Time festival in London’s Hyde Park in July, and are rumoured to have been dating for months – after both appearing in West End play Saint Joan.  

The actress split from her last serious boyfriend Franklin Ohanessian in October 2016. 

The pair met on the set of 2014 film The Voices, and Franklin, an assistant director, went on to work with her in the arthouse movie Gemma Bovery.
