We give them a yes! Minnie Driver and Rose Byrne look suitably stylish at London premiere of I Give It A Year

    It may have been freezing, but actresses Minnie Driver and Rose Byrne didn't let the weather affect their red carpet glamour on Thursday night.
Leading lady Rose looked stunning in a salmon pink Balenciaga gown as she joined her English co-star Minnie at the London premiere of their new movie I Give It A Year.
Although Bridesmaids star Rose, 33, admitted she was 'running on adrenaline' as she posed on the cold night, she was excited to be showing off her film.

Meanwhile, Minnie, 42, showed off her slender frame in a floor-length black lace number, with her hair swept into an updo.
The women were joined by their co-stars from the 'anti rom-com', including Rafe Spall, Simon Baker and Stephen Merchant.
The Mentalist star Simon attended with wife Rebecca Rigg, while Rafe arrived on the arm of his wife, former Hollyoaks actress Elize Du Toit, who looked colourful in an orange jersey dress.

Also in attendance was the movie's screenwriter Dan Mazer with his wife, comedienne Daisy Donovan.
Speaking on the red carpet, Australian star Rose admitted she struggled to film one particular scene for the movie involving a live dove.
She said: 'I was petrified. I was slightly unprepared, but I have a fear of birds, I discovered, and the scene, unfortunately, was hijacked by this fear.

'It was intense. It was like a weird acting exercise, where I had to focus on my objective while being completely physically overtaken. It was really weird.'
Rising Australian actress Anna Skellern, who plays a character called Agent Provocateur in the film, pulled out all the stops in a dramatic red halterneck dress.
Also in attendance was Welsh actress Alexandra Roach, who wore a blue and black trouser suit.
