They were joined on the red carpet by the films director, the Oscar-nominated Oren Moverman.

Laura, who has worked with Richard on the likes of Primal Fear (1999) before, went for a chic yet understated look.

She rounded her look off with a pair of towering stilettos shoes, which subtly accentuated her slender figure.

Keeping things simple she opted for a smattering of jewellery, leaving her look uncluttered by excessive faff.

Wearing her long blonde locks loose and gently tousled waves, Laura let her locks tumble down around her shoulders.

Richard meanwhile looked dapper in a charcoal suit which he teamed with a white open-neck shirt and black brogues.
