Hansel and Gretel go home: Gemma Arterton is stunning in silk as she and Jeremy Renner take Grimm tale to Berlin
|
Gemma Arterton wrapped her incredible figure up in a black and grey frock for the Berlin premiere of Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters.
It was a big night for 26-year-old actress as she and Jeremy Renner were premiering their rebooted Grimm tale in Germany, where the tale originated.

Hansel and Gretel was published by the famous German siblings in 1812; but Grimm tales lost favour after the end of the second world war after some academics posited that the often bloody tales had been a catalyst for the acceptance of Nazism.
However, this view has since been questioned and there's a push in Wilhelm and Jacob's homeland to resurrect the stories - popular with Disney and the rest of the world - in German households.
The Kent-born beauty certainly did the tale proud by glowing at the event.

She completed her look with her hair in sleek shoulder length curls and a pair of vertiginous black patent shoes.
Gemma showed off her naturally flawless complexion with minimal make-up, a hint of rose blush and a slick of coral lipstick.
Meanwhile, Jeremy, 42, opted for a smart look in a simple navy suit.
The co-stars have been doing the promotional rounds for the past few weeks.

In the action-packed Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters, which hits UK cinemas on February 22 and is playing in the US already, Gemma plays Gretel 15 years after she and brother Hansel, played by Renner, were kidnapped by a witch.
Now adults, the siblings earn money by killing witches, just as they did in the gingerbread house many years before.
In an interview with the Daily Telegraph newspaper, Gemma said: 'I wore the coolest costume yet, I got to wear skintight brown leather trousers and a forest-green corset, which is pretty much my style'.
