Damian Lewis slummed it while his wife Helen McCrory turned up the glamour as he joined her for the launch of the new series of Peaky Blinders.
Helen – who stars as Polly Gray, aunt of Cillian Murphy’s character Tommy Shelby, in the gritty gangster epic – donned a black dress with an asymmetric cream hem and over-sized canary yellow cuffs, while Damian wore jeans, trainers and a grey jumper.

The Homeland star’s only nod to the glamour of the occasion came in the form of his handsomely-trimmed beard.
Leading man Cillian looked dapper alongside show creator Steven Knight as the cast and crew united at the BFI Southbank to launch the third series ahead of its return to BBC Two on Thursday.

Annabelle Wallis made it clear she wasn’t in the same boat as her pregnant character Grace in a slinky cut-out red dress, while Natasha O’Keeffe had her real-life bump on full display.

Series three will kick off with Tommy’s wedding, finally showing whether he’ll chose Grace or the beautiful May (Charlotte Riley).
