She's rightly proud of racial drama A United Kingdom in which she stars alongside David Oyelowo.

And Rosamund Pike, 38, attended an AOL BUILD talk to discuss the feature film in New York on Tuesday in front of a live audience.

The English actress looked typically classy in a futuristic silver top, black trousers and sophisticated black overcoat with which she covered her shoulders.

Rosamund wore her blonde tresses in her usual neat and tidy fashion, styling them in a side parting scraped into a ponytail.

Despite the wet weather, she appeared in fine spirits, smiling brightly as she made her way into the venue.

She attended the film's US premiere in the city the previous night, looking very much the English rose in a floral chiffon minidress.

The film movingly re-creates the then-scandalous marriage between Prince Seretse Khama of Botswana and British typist grandmother Ruth Williams.

The couple caused an international stir when they married in the late 1940s.

In the inspirational film, Rosamund takes on the role of middle-class Ruth who falls for Seretse, an Oxford graduate and African king-in-waiting - played by David - after being introduced to him at a missionary society dance.

Their whirlwind romance and wedding wrought havoc not only among their families, but at the highest political levels in Britain and southern Africa, where Seretse’s own Bechuanaland, now Botswana, was a longtime protectorate under British imperial rule.

Speaking of the movie on the Chris Evans Breakfast Show in November, Rosamund revealed: 'You see racism on both sides.

'It's this experience of a white woman craving to belong in the black world and being greeted with suspicion and hostility. They don't want a white woman to be the mother of their tribe.

New release: The film had its US premiere the previous evening

'How is she going to understand the concerns of the women? How is she going to understand the concerns of the country? But she stuck it out.'

And speaking of Ruth's defiant will, the actress gushed: 'Sometimes you get these characters where you're like "God, if I had half of this woman's guts bravery and courage, I'd be such a better person!"

'It's a wonderful love story.'
