Rose Byrne upstages the bunny at Peter Rabbit LA premiere

It was supposed to be the bunny’s day.

But Rose Byrne totally upstaged Peter Rabbit at the premiere of his eponymous movie at The Grove in Los Angeles on a sunny Saturday morning.

The 38-year-old looked delightful in a light blue dress covered in red and white flowers on black stalks and silver shoes.

The actress wore her brunette tresses up in a top knot as she posed on the carpet, which was green to look like farmer McGregor’s carrot field that Peter famously raids in the beloved Beatrice Potter children’s books. 

Rose plays Bea, the love interest of the long suffering farmer, played by Harry Potter star Domhnall Gleason in his youth and Sam Neill as the older McGregor. 

The Late Late Show host James Corden voiced Peter Rabbit in the family movie based on the books by Beatrice Potter that blends animation with live action.

The 39-year-old, who stood next to Peter on the green carpet, told Extra on Friday that he was hesitant about taking the part at first. 

‘In truth, when I got the phone call that they were making this film and would I voice this character of Peter Rabbit, I felt slightly nervous, if I am honest,’ he said.

The celebrity added: ‘Because you know how beloved this is in the UK, everyone grew up hearing these stories. 

‘Then I heard the script had been sent to the Beatrix Potter estate and it was the first script they okayed’ and that convinced him.

Other stars include I, Tonya’s Margot Robbie, who voices Flopsy bunny,  Star Wars’ Daisy Ridley as Cotton-tail and Guardians Of The Galaxy’s Elizabeth Debicki as Mopsy.

The movie is due out next Friday.
