Leading lady Naomie Harris, who plays
Winnie Mandela in Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom, looked effortlessly
chic at the screening for highly anticipated new film Mandela: Long Walk
To Freedom.
Wearing a
sheer ice blue dress teamed with black heels, Naomie - who is already
winning Oscar buzz for her role - bared a little skin with a slash at
the chest of the Burberry Prorsum look.
And
apart from her black Daniele Michetti Prabha heels, the perfect accessory to finish her fashionable look was her handsome
leading man Idris Elba, who looked his usual dapper self in a grey suit at the Cinema Society screening in New York last night.
Demure: Naomie Harris arrived in a pale blue
floaty mini-dress teamed with black Daniele Michetti Prabha heels and a
matching purse
In fashion: Idris and Naomie pose with director Justin Chadwick and U.S. Vogue Editor Anna Wintour
Fashion maven: Naomie has shown off quite an array of stunning gowns as she took to the promtional trail for the Mandela biopic
However it was a little more demure
than her choice of outfits in recent weeks where she has been snapped out
in an array of body-baring sheer creations.
British star Idris - best known for roles in The Wire and Luther - plays Nelson Mandela in the biopic film which is based on South African President Nelson Mandela's autobiography of the same name.
It chronicles his early life, coming
of age, education and 27 years in prison during the apartheid era before
becoming President.
'I discovered that Winnie is probably the feistiest character I’ve ever played,' Harris recently told The New York Daily News.
Sweetest Thing: U2 members The Edge, Bono, Wintour, Larry Mullen, Jr., Adam Clayton and Idris pose together before the film
'I
thought she was just the woman who stood by Nelson’s side. I didn’t
know about her huge contribution in her own right, and the fact that he
might not have become [who he was] without her.'
The
screening
was attended by the high priestess of fashion, U.S. Vogue editor Anna
Wintour, who was one of the event's hosts along with U2 and movie big
wigs Harvey and Bob Weinstein. The screening was supported by British
fashion brand Burberry.
With any luck the talented actress may land the prestigious Vogue cover that has eluded her so far.
The
event was attended by over 800
guests including Salman Rushdie, Grace Coddington, Olivia Palermo and
boyfriend Johannes Huebl, Martha Stewart, and Helena Christensen. And
selected guests then headed to an intimate bash hosted by Harvey
Weinstein at Manhattan's Le Bilboquet.
Simply flawless: The 27-year-old star showed off her stunning porcelain skin in subtle make-up
She's in fashion: Anne struck some model poses on the carpet before watching the biopic
Scarlet lady: Anne V outshone

heels as she arrives at the Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom in New York
City on Monday night
U2 members The
Edge, Bono, Larry Mullen, Jr., Adam Clayton and Anna
Wintour posed with Idris and Naomie before the film.
Perhaps it was the chiller New York temperatures that did it, but the other glamorous ladies in attendance at Monday night's special Mandela screening chose to cover up.
Sports
Illustrated model Anne V managed to outshine everyone, including
leading lady Naomie Harris at the Ziegfeld Theater in New York City in a
stunning bright red knee-length dress.
The
27-year-old star, real name Anne Vyalitsyna, wore her blonde hair loose
around her face in tousled waves with subtle make-up highlighting her
flawless porcelain skin.
Anne
joined a slew of models and actresses at the special screening
Showstopper: Helna Christensen showed off the
stunning looks which made her one of the world's top supermodels in a
black dress, tights and red heels
Autumn colours: Iman sported a grey coat with furry collar, black knitted sweater and platform heels
The
actress, who has signed on to play Miss Moneypenny in the next Bond
film, said she found the role her most challenging ever.
'So
when I read the script, it was a massive shock and I realised that I
had inadvertently said yes to this role that was the most challenging
role of my life so far. Nearly killed me!'
Anna
Wintour attracted plenty of models to the event, with Helena
Christensen showing the looks which made her one of the world's top
supermodels in a black dress, tights and red shoes.
Model moments: Shanina Shaik wore a strapless
multi-coloured frock while Jessica Stam sported a more casual sweater,
shirt and trousers

Contrast in styles:Model Teresa Moore looked
sophisticated in black with cut out panels, while fellow fashionista
Alyssa Miller sported a stunning blue and white embroidered skirt
Hell for leather: Martha Stewart arrived looking rather edgy in black trousers boots and leather and furry jacket
Black and blue shades: Julie Henderson
sported a grey tunic, actress Sami Gayle wore dark blue jacket over a
snakeskin playsuit and actress Alysia Reiner was more risky in a sheer
lace top and leather skirt
Iman, 58,
showed off her stunning figure in an autumnal outfit consisting of a
grey coat with furry collar, black knitted sweater and platform heels.
Victoria's Secret star Chanel Iman, meanwhile went for a much more formal look in a sleeveless white floaty fishtail gown.
