Anna Paquin exuded sophistication as she arrived at the premiere of her film The Irishman in classic black.

The actress, 37, looked elegant in the floor-length dress and simple jewellery, with her hair pulled back off her face.

The actress wore a delicate chain hanging down from the back of her neck, highlighting the dress’s low back.

The glitzy event was both the premiere of the crime movie and the closing gala of the London Film Festival.

Paquin was joined on the red carpet by her co-stars, including Al Pacino and Robert De Niro, as well as director Martin Scorsese.
