Olivia Colman was sharply outfitted to attend a screening of her latest film, “Empire of Light.” The ’80s-set romance drama, which Colman stars in alongside Micheal Ward, Colin Firth and Toby Jones, was previously released in December 2022.
At the occasion at Carlton Cinema, Westgate-on-Sea in Margate, England, the Oscar-winning actress arrived in a chic black midi dress. The long-sleeved piece featured white stitched detailing along its front and shoulders, which were also accented with swirling tortoiseshell buttons. Adding a contemporary elegance to Colman’s outfit was a squared gold watch, as well as braided gold hoop earrings and two paperclip-chain necklaces with respective pearl and hammered square charms.

The pair added a clean base to Colman’s outfit, allowing the dress to take center stage and its smaller details to draw the eye.
