Elizabeth, who plays the wife of US Navy Lieutenant Ford Brody - nurse Elle Brody - in the upcoming Godzilla remake, looked confident in her choice of outfit as she posed away.

The 33-year-old’s look was only rivalled by Elizabeth’s co-star Bryan Cranston, who opted for an subtle navy check suit.

Bryan, who is well-loved for his role in Breaking bad, plays Joe Brody, Ford's father, a nuclear physicist and former engineer at the Janjira nuclear plant in the film.

The new Godzilla film reboots the classic Japanese franchise, and is said to retell the origin of the creature in contemporary times as a 'terrifying force of nature.'

The reboot begins with a nuclear-plant accident in Japan, similar to the 2011 Fukushima disaster.

Writer Max Borenstein said: 'I think the decision was, if the first film could be made nine years after both atomic bombs and speak to them directly—and made the same year that a hydrogen bomb irradiated Japanese fishermen and caused a great scandal and a loss of life—if they can use a monster metaphor to get at those very dark truths of the moment, then we can do the same thing.'

Fan favourite: Bryan Cranston was unsurprisingly very popular with those waiting at the premiere

Japanese fans have been quick to question the creatures bulky new look, saying 'Did he get fat?' and 'That's what happens when all you do is eat and lay around.'

Others commenting described him as 'out of shape', with either 'no neck' or one 'like an American football athlete's.'

With the 350ft tall beast said to be an anti-hero, it seems he will battle to save mankind by taking on Mutos, winged creatures wreaking havoc on a city which Godzilla was previously blamed for.

Looking good: The premiere attracted a host of guests, including Francesca Hull

Other stars who attended included Lord of the Rings actor Andy Serkis and comedian Jimmy Carr.

Meanwhile, chart-topping singer and actress Diana Vickers wore a dramatic short suit in black silk, which managed to be both classy and sexy. She matched the look with pearl-enhanced shoes.

Reality television star Francesca Hull went for a more subtle effect in a floor-length gown with virtually no jewellery - just a simple clutch bag.

Godzilla is released in the UK on 15 May
