Marisa Abela looked chic as she walked the red carpet at the London premiere of Amy Winehouse biopic Back to Black on Monday.
The actress, 27, stars as singer Amy – who tragically died from alcohol poisoning aged just 27 in 2011 – while actor Jack O’Connell, 33, plays her widower Blake Fielder-Civil.
Screen star Marisa wore a black halter neck, floor-length dress with a fishtail train which swept the floor as she posed for awaiting photographers.
The garment perfectly accentuated her hourglass figure as she arrived at the Odeon Luxe Leicester Square.
Her hair was slightly raised at the back, although it did not emulate Amy’s famous towering behive.
Back To Black, which has been endorsed by Amy’s father Mitch (played by Eddie Marsan) has drawn outrage from the singer’s pals who slammed it for it’s ‘ghoulish’ depictions of the star’s drug addiction and also filming her funeral.
Blake, who was wed to the singer between 2007 and 2009, previously admitted introducing her to heroin and is seen by many of her fans as partly responsible for her death from alcohol poisoning.
In the trailer, Amy declares she wants to be known for more than her singing and her desperation to be a mother, before sadly dying childless.
In one emotional scene she describes Blake as ‘her life and soul’ before their on/off relationship inspires her to write the iconic track Back To Black.
