She's a real gem! Dawn Porter steps out in bright blue dress as she supports husband Chris O'Dowd at The Sapphires premiere
|
They wed in a three-day festival over the summer and it seems that Dawn Porter is every inch the supportive wife.
The 33-year-old TV presenter decided to honour her husband Chris O'Dowd's new film by stepping out in a bright dress in a bright gemstone hue.
Dawn donned a bold blue dress as the couple took to the sparkling carpet at the premiere of The Sapphires at the 56th BFI London Film Festival tonight.

Such a support: Dawn Porter walked the blue carpet with her husband Chris O'Dowd at the premiere of The Sapphires at the 56th BFI London Film Festival tonight
The outfit boasted a tulip skirt tied together with bows and was teamed with a pair of black court heels.
Irish actor Chris looked dapper in a tailored black suit and extremely shiny shoes for the occasion.
And while the Bridesmaid's star actually appears in the film, it was his wife Dawn who proved to be the photographers darling.
Matching the carpet: The 33-year-old TV presenter posed for snaps showing off her bright blue dress at the Odeon West End cinema
Dazzling: Dawn didn't mind leaving her husband to meet up with his work colleagues and was happy to pose for pictures at the end of the carpet
The brunette was seen striking a pose for snappers all on her own, as Chris met up with his co-stars.
The film is set during the Vietnam war in 1968 and tells the story of four Aboriginal singers who are put together by a talent scout as Australia's answer to The Supremes.
Chris plays the role of Dave, the group's manager.
Simply supreme! Chris posed up with co-stars Deborah Mailman, Shari Sebbens, Miranda Tapsell and Jessica Mauboy ahead of the screening
No wonder he's smiling: The Irish star was more than happy to be sandwiched between his glamorous colleagues
The heartwarming tale is brought to life by writer and former Neighbours star, Tony Briggs, whose mother Laurel Robinson and her sister and cousins - Lois Peeler, Beverley Briggs and Naomi Mayers - were the real Sapphires, four decades ago.
Mr and Mrs O'Dowd met at an LA party to celebrate Porter's 30th birthday.
Cast and crew: Chris O'Dowd, Deborah Mailman, Shari Sebbens, Miranda Tapsell, Jessica Mauboy and director Wayne Blair

And she revealed it was love at first sight, telling Hello!: 'He was the best birthday present I've ever had.'
'He walked up to me at my party, and I just said "oh my God."'
The pair wed in August in a three-day celebration they dubbed 'wedfest'.
