Sheridan Smith flashes the flesh as she walks the red carpet at Quartet premiere


Aren't you a bit cold? A skinny Sheridan Smith flashes the flesh as she walks the red carpet at Quartet premiere 


It may be the middle of October, but that didn't stop Sheridan Smith from flashing the flesh as she stepped out in London on Monday night. 
Attending the gala screening of her new movie, Quartet, during the 56th BFI London Film Festival at the Odeon Leicester Square, the 31-year-old actress bared all in a strapless silver dress. 
The Mrs Biggs star cut a skinny figure as she posed on the red carpet in the skimpy peplum-detail frock, which she teamed with black peep-toe stilettos, silver hoop earrings and her blonde hair teased into an up-do.

Putting her hands on her hips to pose for photographs, Sheridan showed off her toned arms and décolletage as she stepped out on the chilly autumnal evening.
    And it would seem her Quartet co-star, Scottish comedian Billy Connolly, was mindful of the blonde beauty's temperature, as he rushed to cover her from the breeze with his long black coat.
    Giggling away together, the pair seemed to be getting along famously as they posed up alongside their fellow cast members, Dame Maggie Smith, Pauline Collins, Dame Gwyneth Jones and Sir Tom Courtenay.

    Also in attendance was Hollywood star Dustin Hoffman, who makes his directorial debut with the Quartet.
    The Oscar-winning actor seemed to be his usual playful self, and was spotted planting a huge kiss on the cheek of Pauline Collins and wrapping his arms around Downton Abbey star Dame Maggie Smith in a tight embrace.

    Aside from the cast and crew, former supermodel Twiggy also turned out to see the movie, accompanied by her husband Leigh Lawson. 
    Based on the play by the same name by Ronald Harwood, comedy-drama Quartet sees Dame Maggie Smith, Courtenay, Collins and Connolly play four retired opera singers living together in a retirement home who put on an annual concert.
    Hoffman, who stepped behind the camera for the first time in the British flick, told BBC News of his directorial debut: 'Sometimes it takes you 40 years to get around to doing something.'
