Olivia Colman was a vision as she hit the red carpet at Venice Film Festival on Friday night for the premiere of The Lost Daughters.
The actress, 47, looked typically chic in a silver and black velvet suit as she joined her co-star in the movie Dakota Johnson and the project’s director Maggie Gyllenhaal for the star-studded event.
The Crown star had her sense of style on display in the tailored number which featured a shiny lapel with statement buttons and trendy shoulder pads.
She completed her look with a pair of glitzy silver shoes, a dark blue satin clutch and dramatic shiny earrings as she put on a confident display for the cameras.
The British star wore her short brunette hair swept back and opted for a glamorous makeup look complete with a light pink lip.
Meanwhile Dakota, 31, looked incredible in a plunging silver gown which featured glitzy tassels over the sheer flowing skirt.
The see-through material was embellished with colourful jewels and the inbuilt belt showed off her incredible figure while she wore her dark tresses in tousled waves over her shoulders.
Maggie, 43, opted for a sophisticated look, wearing a high neck navy velvet floor length dress over a white shirt as she posed with her leading ladies and her supportive brother Jake who wore a white suit.
