Rachel Weisz flaunts her legs for premiere of The Mercy

She has made a plethora of glamorous statement during her thirty year span in the industry.  

And Rachel Weisz didn’t disappoint as she arrived in style for The Mercy World Premiere at The Curzon Mayfair in London on Tuesday. 

The 47-year-old British actress ensured all eyes on herself as she put on an incredibly leggy display in a soaring thigh-high split blue gown while storming the red carpet for the eagerly anticipated movie. 

   

Rachel, who is married to 007 hunk Daniel Craig, put on her most stylish display yet in the clingy blue printed gown which served to accentuate all aspects of her sensational figure. 

The turtleneck number boasted slight rushed detailing and buttoning down her side – which put prominence on her slender waist – before falling into a perilous split.

Given the British capital’s windy weather, Rachel risked a wardrobe malfunction as she bared her sensational stem, which were boosted in a pair of towering, strappy black heels.

Rachel relied on her age-defying porcelain features with a rosy coat of blusher and a smokey, autumnal eyeshadow complemented by lashings of black mascara. 

The mother-of-one completed the primped and preened look with styled waves running through her glossy brunette shoulder-length mane.

Rachel stars alongside Colin Firth in The Mercy, which tells the story of Donald Crowhurst’s attempt to complete the Sunday Times Golden Globe Race in 1968, which results in disastrous consequences.

The project began filming back in 2015, and will finally be released in UK cinemas next month. 

As well as her professional life, Rachel has also seen success on the personal front with her marriage to Daniel Craig. 

Daniel and Rachel, who have been friends since their 20s, tied the knot in a secret New York ceremony in June 2011 after only six months together.

The service was attended by just four guests, including Craig’s 22-year-old daughter Ella, from his first marriage to Scottish actress Fiona Loudon, and Rachel’s son Henry, who was five at the time. 

Meanwhile, Colin Firth couldn’t have looked more dashing as he put on a suited and booted appearance on the red carpet alongside his stunning other half Livia.

The handsome Brit braced himself against the chilly weather with a fitted black jacket, which flashed a glimpse fof his white shirt and snazzy grey tie. 

He completed the dapper look with black trousers and a matching pair of shiny black boots, while sporting his signature black rimmed spectacles which complemented his salt and pepper locks.  

In The Mercy, Oscar-winner Colin plays Donald Crowhurst, an amateur round-the-world yachtsman.

His harrowing journey in 1968 ended in disgrace and tragedy, after he duped family and race organisers, finally taking his life.

‘Colin was on that boat, and there was no sea-sickness from him – or any of the leading actors,’ said producer Pete Czernin.

The film is called The Mercy after an entry in Crowhurst’s log, discovered when his trimaran, the Teignmouth Electron, was found abandoned.

‘I can no longer play the game. It is the end. It is the mercy,’ he had written. 

Czernin previously described the film as ‘a very heroic story’: ‘It comes down to that saying how a man’s reach must exceed his grasp. We all have dreams, and we all try to put those plans into action. And he [Crowhurst] saw himself as able to achieve something.’

But he found himself in an awful predicament. Neither he nor his boat were equipped for a challenging ocean voyage. After a while, he started falsifying his locations on the ship-to-shore radio messages he sent.

He struggled to keep up the pretence, while his wife Clare (played by Rachel Weisz) tried to make everything shipshape with their four children, on dry land.
