No stranger to looking the part, Mirren looked striking as she donned bright pink lipstick, generous eyeliner and soft foundation and sported a casual pulled-back hairstyle to compliment.

Sony Pictures co-chief, Michael Barker, joined Mirren in a number of pre-movie snapshots as the pair smiled for photographers on the red carpet.

This isn’t the first time Mirren has astounded fans with her radiant sense of style and sophistication after she stole the show at the 28th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards in March.

The actress looked the picture of pink elegance as she flaunted a tailored pink gown embellished with delicate metallic flowers and matching pink headband and clutch, with many fans taking to social media to praise Mirren for her seemingly ageless beauty and grace.

The Duke tells the true story of a 60-year old taxi driver who steals the famous Goya portrait from the National Gallery of London.

In the film, Mirren portrays Dorothy Bunton, the wife of the charismatic Kempton who stood trial for the theft of the priceless Goya painting. In a recent interview, Mirren described her character as “a working class woman who’s always worked”, describing Bunton’s role as the “provider” of the family.

The actress admitted her own upbringing was a key influence in her decision to take on the role.

“When I was growing up in a working-class family in London, I had a lot of aunts, as my mother was the thirteenth out of fourteen children. My mother also left school at the age of fourteen or fifteen to work. I liked her and wanted to play her,” she said.
