Adrianne Palicki dresses in a pink gown as she arrives at a rainy G.I. Joe: Retaliation London premiere

From golden girl to English rose: Adrianne Palicki swaps metallic dresses for pink gown as she arrives at a rainy G.I. Joe: Retaliation London premiere

She's so far had a running theme for her dresses as she tours the world promoting movie G.I. Joe: Retaliation - stepping out in both Sydney and South Korea in golden frocks.

But for Monday night's London premiere of the action film, Adrianne Palicki decided to switch things up once more and chose a different colour to walk the red carpet.

In fitting with the British scene, the pretty blonde this time opted for an 'English rose' dress in pink.

Although she may have lived to regret the satin material choice thanks to the very rainy weather that greeted her as she walked the red carpet in front of fans and photographers.

The 29-year-old was seen grimacing as she tottered along in her beige heels while lifting her dress up slightly to ensure it didn't drag in any puddles.

Adrianne, who plays Lady Jaye in the upcoming action movie, completed her look with a perfectly preened up 'do, while she accessorised with jewellery to match her bejewelled waist line.

Although she soon managed to crack a big smile as a helper held an umbrella over her head to prevent the rain from ruining her look.

Palicki has so far opted for two different metallic dresses as she joins her co-stars at screenings across the globe.

In Seoul, South Korea, last Monday she showed off her physique in a clingy gold frock with sequin panel detailing.

And a few days later on Thursday she proved she loves being a golden girl as she turned out to the Sydney, Australia, screening in another gold gown with low cut detailing and a side leg split.

Although Adrianne's outfits are all in sharp contrast to the ensembles she wears in the movie, in which she plays the role of the only woman in a team full of men.

Speaking previously about the character of Lady Jaye, Adrianne said: 'I love the character and she’s very well-written. She’s a tough girl. She’s got a little bit of a chip on her shoulder.

'She’s like the only chick around all these guys so she kind of has to hold her own. She’s the intelligence in the group; she’s the weapon specialist. So there’s a lot to carry with that.'

Adrianne added to Entertainment Weekly that she had to work hard to ensure she was in the best shape for the movie.

She said: 'We trained with Navy SEALS. Harry Humphries is a retired SEAL, so he’s actually one of the original so he brought his whole SEAL team to train us and they’re actually in the movie with us, guiding us, which was the most nerve-racking part because if you mess up, you know they’re going to be pulling you aside and scaring you.'

The upcoming movie will star Bruce Willis as 'the original Joe' in the sequel, which will also see Channing Tatum reprise his role as Captain Duke Hauser.

But most of the original Joes are assassinated at the start of the film by the Cobras as their nemesis Zartan succeeds in stealing the American president's identity.

With the Joes disbanded, the surviving members go underground and seek out the original Joe to help them take down Zartan.

Cate Blanchett leads the glamour in floorlength white gown with backless cut out at The Hobbit London premiere

You wouldn't see that in Middle Earth: Cate Blanchett leads the glamour in floorlength white gown with backless cut out at The Hobbit London premiere

It was only a fortnight ago that the stars of The Hobbit took to New Zealand to hold the world premiere of the latest Tolkien saga in the franchise.

And knowing how popular the film proved in its home country, the cast were no doubt expecting big things as they took to the streets of London on Wednesday night for the UK screening.

True to form Cate Blanchett lead the glamour for the royal film performance of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.

Galadriel looks: Cate Blanchett leads the glamour as she walks the green carpet at the UK premiere of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey on Wednesday night

She wowed the crowds as she stepped on to the green carpet in a stylish floorlength winter white Givenchy gown, ensuring she was wrapped up more for the London winter than she was for New Zealand's summer at the original November premiere.

Cate, 43, did, however, vamp up her look with a backless cut out detailing showing off some flesh to the excitable crowd.

The actress, who plays Galadriel in the Middle Earth drama, finished off her look with her blonde locks in a simple up 'do, while carrying a cute clutch bag.

And she was joined on the special green carpet by co-star Sir Ian McKellen, who just a day ago revealed he was secretly diagnosed with prostate cancer six to seven years ago.

The Hobbit actor, 73, admitted he hasn't had any treatment for the disease, but is examined regularly and it is 'contained'.

He admitted he originally feared the worse when doctors first told him he had the disease, but his concerns were soon allayed.

And he seemed to have put his worries far from his mind as he greeted the crowds and photographers at the extravaganza in Leicester Square on Wednesday evening.

Cuddling up to Cate, McKellen smiled widely in his dapper outfit to celebrate the latest screening.

A whole host of other stars gathered in the West End for the royal UK premiere of the new Hobbit film.

The Duke of Cambridgealso joined them and attended alone as his wife Kate, whose pregnancy was announced last week, continued to rest at St James's Palace from acute morning sickness.

With his girls: James Nesbitt also made it a family affair with his wife and daughters, who all glammed up for the evening

Andy Serkis, who also reprises his role from the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and Office star Martin Freeman, who plays main character Bilbo Baggins in the JRR Tolkien adaptation, all attended.

They were joined by showbiz figures including boyband McFly, who braved freezing temperatures on the green carpet in front of hundreds of screaming fans.

Sir Ian, who plays the wizard Gandalf, said it was great to be in London for a film with a strong British presence.

Fanfare: Director Peter Jackson was also on hand to watch the proceedings unfold

He added: 'Its cast is basically British and from the Commonwealth, Tolkien was an English writer, here we are in the capital city and it feels proper.'

Australian actress Blanchett, who plays elf queen Galadriel, joked about the cold.

'The weather is enough to drive anyone away but it is great to see so many fans,' she said.

She wore a stunning white backless dress but had donned a black jacket by the time she went into the cinema for the performance.

Olympic long jump gold medallist Greg Rutherford was among the celebrities attending, along with singer Nick Cave.

During the evening lead star Freeman admitted it was a challenge to star as The Hobbit himself, and he hoped fans enjoyed the film.

'I loved playing it. I really loved playing it. I hope people like it. There's nothing more you can do. It's in the hands of Peter Jackson and the editors.'

But he admitted that travelling between New Zealand and his home in the UK, where he lives with his young family, had been the greatest challenge.

'That was probably the major test - the mental and emotional test of actually leaving your home for that long.

'But the gig itself was a real pleasure and a challenge in all the best ways.

'Sometimes they're hard challenges, but sometimes they're fun. It was an amazing job, I'll never do another one like it.'

Serkis confessed he had not had chance to miss his role as Gollum in the time since he made the Lord Of The Rings trilogy because he is still often asked to do the voice.

He joked: 'I never thought he was ever going to go away. He's never really drifted very far from me.

'But it was lovely to play the scene with Martin, it was day one of 276 days of shooting.'

Serkis only makes a small appearance in The Hobbit but ended up staying on to work behind the camera.

He said: 'My unexpected journey on this was thinking I was going Down Under to reprise the role of Gollum for two weeks and then Peter asked me to direct the second unit, so I ended up going for a year and a half.'
