It’s a busy time of year for the stars of the big screen what with all the award ceremonies/festivals going on and it can be tricky to find something glamorous to wear for every occasion.
But while Naomie Harris hasn’t been winning awards this season, she has certainly impressed with her wardrobe.
And on Sunday evening the 37-year-old did it again in an elegant yet daring cut-out black dress as she attended the 9TH Annual Los Angeles Italia Festival in Hollywood.
Waist not, want not: Naomie Harris stunned as she attended the Los Angeles Italia Festival in Hollywood on Sunday
Toned: The actress's dress showed off her waist as it featured cut-out sections
The Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom actress stole the show in her high-necked black dress which drew attention to the cut-out section because of the pearl belt detail.
The skin-baring section showed off her toned and muscly stomach, while her impressive arms were also left bare.
Looking exceptionally elegant she wore her hair off her face in a sleek chignon, a black clutch and heels.
Hanging out: The star was joined for the occasion by Bono from U2
Sitting pretty: The 37-year-old stood out as she sat in the theatre alongside Bono and Al Pacino
What an honour: Bono was honoured for his song Original Love which features in the film Mandela
Keeping it short: Lady Victoria Hervey attended the awards as did Elisabetta Canalis (R) who is of course Italian
Leggy: George Clooney's ex girlfriend showed off her legs and chest in the sexy LBD
She was accompanied for the occasion by U2 singer Bono, who was being honoured for his song Original Love from Naomie’s film Mandela.
Sitting beside them was Al Pacino, who looked his usual cool self with a white scarf draped around his neck.
Naomie was unceremoniously snubbed by BAFTA for her role as Winnie in the Mandela biopic, as was Idris Elba who also failed to receive a nomination for his portrayal of the great Nelson Mandela.
Stunning: Naomie looked simply radiant in the fitted dress with simple black heels
Hanging out: Bono and Al Pacino had a great time sitting next to each other
However while Idris didn't seem too upset by his own lack of acceptance, he sprung to Naomie's defence via his Twitter page.
Writing last month, he said: 'Ok peeps, ...I've got an appointment at the @BAFTA I'm gonna do a #Lutherrage and ask where @NaomieHarris nomination?'
Other stars at the event included Lady Victoria Hervey who showed off a very deep tan wearing a sequined dress with a blue fur stole.
Brits' abroad: Nathalie Emmanuel (L) and Steve Coogan attended the first day of the festival
Congrats: Steve was honoured for his work on the film Philomena
George Clooney’s ex Elisabetta Canalis also made a head turning appearance in a black dress which showed off her cleavage beneath a sheer mesh section.
The 9th Annual film, fashion and art festival runs from the February 23rd to March 1st and will see a whole range of Italian, Italian- American and international artists join in the celebrations.
Not such a horror: Director Eli Roth did his best Italian accent while at the festival
Starting with a bang: The stars made sure the first day of the festival went very well indeed
