She's been hopping about the globe to promote the highly anticipated Nelson Mandela biopic.

And Naomie Harris added to her long list of knockout red carpet dresses on Monday night as she graced the Hollywood premiere of Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom at the town's famous Arclight Cinerama Dome.

The 37-year-old actress picked a spectacular Vionnet dress that gave a jaw-dropping view of the side of her body all the way below her hips as she posed alongside her co-star, Idris Elba.

It means she's the latest star to flash the flesh on the red carpet; following in the footsteps of the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow and last week's superlative turn from Jaime Alexander.

Naomie's sexy and unique choice of garment for the evening showed off a significant portion of her slim physique, leaving little to the imagination from the side of her chest all the way down to the top of her buttocks.

The front of the baby blue gown featured a split down the middle of the star's torso, revealing another sizeable portion of the stunning star's skin.

Her hair was elegantly styled in neat curls and her accessories were kept to a strict minimum to make way for the eye-catching dress.

Ever the gentleman, Idris made sure he grasped only the fabric as he leaned in for a hug with his pretty co-star on the red carpet.

The studly actor scrubbed up quite well himself in a crisp Burberry suit, surely still reeling from the recent reports that he is soon to become a father.

A source told the Mirror that he and his makeup artist girlfriend Naiyana Garth are expecting a baby and that 'they had been keeping it quiet as it’s early in the pregnancy, but they’ve told family and friends and Naiyana is beginning to show.'

If the news is true, it makes for an interesting year for Idris whose role as Nelson Mandela will surely be a career landmark for him.

Directed by Justin Chadwick (Bleak House, The Other Boleyn Girl), the biopic is based on Nelson Mandela’s autobiography.

Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom chronicles the life of the freedom fighter from his childhood in his small rural village to his days as the first democratically elected president of South Africa.

On Friday, both Elba and Harris attended a private White House screening of the film, hosted by President Barack Obama.

The Weinstein Company's biopic could be a potential Oscar contender for the season.

Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom is released in the US on November 29 and in the UK on January 3, 2014.
