Brie Larson looked every bit the superhero as she stepped on to the blue carpet premiere of Captain Marvel.
The actress embodied her character Carol Danvers as she sported a royal blue off-the-shoulder gown in the same colour as her superhero suit.
She pulled her hair into a slicked back bun as part of the powerful look as she stepped out with her co-stars Gemma Chan and Lashana Lynch.
Larson and Lynch posed alongside women from the Armed Forces for snaps.

Also taking to the carpet at the Curzon Mayfair in London was Samuel L Jackson, who plays Nick Fury in the film.
The film’s European premiere comes as Larson opened up on her fears when taking on such a “public” role.
Responding to a fan as part of her takeover for Stylist magazine, Larson said: “Most of my fear was with the public nature of the role. Knowing that this film would mean my face was on billboards all over the world seemed overwhelming.

“I still have fears about not being able to do things I love, like walking around the airport alone and people-watching.”
However, the 29-year-old actress added that the “power the film holds” took priority over her fears.
