She may have missed out on supporting actress of the year to Lupita Nyong’o at the London Critics' Circle Film Awards.
But Naomie Harris was the style winner as she attended the ceremony at the Mayfair Hotel on Sunday evening.
The 37-year-old looked like a much needed ray of sunshine wearing a stunning yellow flapper dress which flattered her toned figure.

Mellow yellow: Naomie Harris stunned at the London Critics Circle Film Awards on Sunday evening at the Mayfair Hotel
The stunning number, with featured a sheer top section, moved about as she elegantly entered the venue.
Accessorising the 1920s inspired look she wore a pair of silver T-bar heels, a Boucheron ring and Jessica McCormack earrings, while she carried a small clutch.
Looking as gorgeous as ever she wore her hair in big bouncy curls down her back and showing off her natural beauty she kept her make-up to a minimum.
In a flap: Naomie's dress had a 1920s feel to it and the tassels moved as she walked
Shine bright: The dress showed off the actress's impressively toned figure
Keeping it simple: The beautiful actress kept her make-up subtle while her hair fell loose down her back
Naomie was up against Sally Hawkins, Jennifer Lawrence, Lupita Nyong’o and June Squibb in the best supporting actress category.
At the ceremony the actress revealed the greatest review she received for her performance as Winnie Mandela in The Long Walk To Freedom was from Winnie herself.
The Bond girl said: ‘It's a huge honour to have people like the movie and like my performance, that's really fantastic.
So toned: The actress showed off her impressive arms as she signed pictures for fans
‘But the main thing that really mattered most to me was hearing Winnie say that she felt that I'd captured her and I'd honoured her legacy. That was huge to me and I'll never forget that.’
She was joined at the ceremony by a whole host of British talent, including John Hurt, George MacKay, Andy Serkis, and Lindsay Duncan.
Steve Coogan , who was up for his roles in Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa , The Look of Love, Philomena and What Maisie Knew was also in attendance but he failed to take home any prizes.
