She may play a gun toting tomboy in her latest movie, but Gemma Arterton looked like a perfect lady on Friday morning.

The British actress graced the Daybreak sofa and was a huge ray of light in her bright striped dress.

The 27-year-old wore a white dress with blue horizontal stripes on it by CH Carolina Herrera as she chatted to host Kate Garraway about her new movie.

While Gemma was dressed to impress for her early morning appearance her smile complimented her ensemble beautifully.

The star wore her hair down with a side parting as she described her new film alongside co-star Jeremy Renner.

She said: 'Jeremy was the consummate professional and has done all of this stuff before but that was the challenge for me was to become bad and brave and learn how to fight and to do all my stunts.

'Theres always an element of you could get really hurt but a lot of it is fear'.

Gemma's character is well known from the children's tale but she warned Kate that the movie definitely is not one for children.

After fighting monsters and demons on screen she admitted that in real life she finds domestic crime the most frightening thing.

'Things like we had theses riots in London last year, I just think how society is so fragile. I think that's very scary, and there are many things that scare me but that one in particular.'

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.

It was a masterclass in how to dazzle on a red carpet without revealing too much. 

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.

Don't go into the woods: Gemma Arterton and Jeremy Renner attended the German premiere of Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters at the Kulturbrauerei in Berline on Tuesday night 

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.

Subtle: Gemma's black and grey dress showed off her figure wonderfully 

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.

Big moment: Grimm stories have fallen out of fashion in Germany, but they're coming back 

The gang's all here: Producer Beau Flynn, director Tommy Wirkola, Famke Janssen, Jeremy Renner, Paramount Germany head Sven Sturm, Gemma Arterton, Pihla Viitala and producer Kevin Messick huddle for a photo op 

Meeting the fans: Arterton got stuck into autograph signing 

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'.

Gemma Arterton looked every inch the English rose when she appeared at the premiere of her new film on Monday night.

But, film fans can be certain that the only sweetness in the new film, Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters 3D, comes from bon bons in the gnarled hand of an evil old hag as Gemma is playing an all-action heroine.

She plays the role of Gretel, who alongside her brother Hansel, is a bounty hunter on a mission to rid the world of as many evil witches as they can find.

English rose: Gemma Arterton looked gorgeous in her pink and purple floral dress 

The film, produced by Will Ferrell, is a black comedy action flick and already receiving good reviews. 

The 27-year old actress looked stunning in a full length silk printed gown by celebrity-favourite designer Erdem. 

Gemma's dress was from the Resort 2013 collection, and highlighted her svelte curves perfectly.

Pretty as a petal: Gemma was at the premiere of Hansel & Gretel Witch Hunters in Sydney, Australia

Glossy: Gemma's hair looked lustrous for her appearance in Sydney 

The pink and purple hues of the dress' floral pattern looked vibrant against her naturally porcelain skin, and her brunette hair looked glossy and perfectly coiffed. 

Gemma rarely wears make-up, but made an effort for the Sydney film screening. 

As well as a slash of pink lipstick, she also highlighted her deep brown eyes with a generous daubing of eyeshadow.

Movie star: Gemma stars in the black comedy film, which is produced by Will Ferrell 

Heroine: The new film offers an alternative interpretation of the popular fairy tale, with Hansel suffering diabetes after his run in with a witch

Her co-star in the film, Jeremy Renner, was also at the premiere. 

The American actor looked distinguished in a grey three piece suit and thin tartan scarf. 

Jeremy, 42, plays a very modern version of the classic character of Hansel. 

Due to a witch force feeding him sweets when he was a child, his character suffers from diabetes, and needs to have a daily injection in order to stay active.

Hansel and Gretel: Playing the lead role is Jeremy Renner, who was previously in The Hurt Locker 

Witch fighters: In the film, Hansel and Gretel are modern day bounty hunters, killing witches to order

Gemma Arterton and co-star Peter Stormare at Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters premiere

That's a bit much! Gemma Arterton is wooed by over-affectionate co-star Peter Stormare at Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters premiere

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

She stars opposite handsome Jeremy Renner in the latest big screen adaptation of Brothers Grimm fairytale Hansel and Gretel.

But Gemma Arterton was getting far more attention from her co-star Peter Stormare at the Los Angeles movie premiere on Thursday night. 

The British star was treated to hugs, kisses and what looked like a marriage proposal.

Dropping down on his knees the Swedish actor held his hands together in prayer while Gemma watched with mirth.

Clearly there was a private joke between the pair as Peter is married with three kids, and the London based actress tied the knot with her sales manager husband Stefano Catelli in 2010.

Rather than be embarrassed by the public show of affection, Gemma laughed it off, soon getting back to working the red carpet.

Simply stunning! Gemma Arterton was a timeless beauty at the Los Angeles premiere of Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters 3D on Thursday night

The 27-year-old went for the classic color fabric with an embellished neckline and a matching black clutch for the glitzy event. 

Her mahogany locks were swept into a wispy up-do, accented by a golden headband that added a touch of softness to her look.

Gemma wore minimal make-up for the red carpet, but her rosy complexion glowed as she stood next to co-star Jeremy.

The pair were also joined by actors Famke Janssen, Pihla Viitala who is dressed by celebrity stylist Dagmarette Yen, Zoe Bell and director Tommy Wirkola at the event.

Famke stole glances in a floor-sweeping emerald gown, while Pihla wore a sheer lace confection over a grey A-line dress.

Will Ferrell also showed up to lend his support, showing up in a dapper grey pinstripe suit, while Jeremy looked dashing in dark blues and blacks.

Last week, Jeremy and Genna stopped by the Today Show to talk about their respective roles in Tommy Wirkola's Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters.

Gemma admitted to reporter Matt Lauer the movie interested her because of its high-octane action scenes.

'It was really attractive to me to play a tough girl I have a lot of action. I get beaten up pretty bad,' she said.

Speaking about her character Gretel and starring alongside Jeremy Renner as Hansel she said: 'We go hand in hand together as a team, adding, 'I really enjoyed all the action stuff, it was great.'

The actors explain that their new film is not for children and Jeremy said: 'Don't take your kids to it.'

'This is not like happily ever after fairy tales anyway.'

'We sort of continue what it and where are they are now, 15 years later when they become bounty hunters and kill witches,' he explained.

The promotional duties come at a time of personal turmoil for the actor, if reports are to be believed.

According to USA Today, Jeremy revealed he was expecting a child with his ex-girlfriend while speaking to Eva Longoria at the Golden Globes.

The witnesses heard him telling an apparently-shocked Longoria: 'I'm going to fly in when her water breaks.'

Eva then reportedly said: 'I'm so blown away.'

The ex-girlfriend is believed to be due to give birth next month and is reportedly currently living at The Bourne Legacy actor's Los Angeles home.
