Emily exuded class as she neatly styled her blonde bob with a side parting and flawless big waves that created a vintage old Hollywood look.

The Devil Wears Prada star looked radiant as she rocked a pair of black shades that shaded the city sun.

Meanwhile, co-star Matt, who takes on the role of General Leslie Groves Jr, director of the Manhattan Project, rocked white pants and a black polo T-shirt.

He completed the look with conventional white trainers and sporty black aviator glasses.

The Good Will Hunting sensation, 52, looked in high spirits when he was caught signing some autographs at the upcoming film’s event.

Critically acclaimed Christopher Nolan has claimed that early viewers of Oppenheimer left the film “devastated” and “unable to speak.”

The upcoming historical thriller revolves around the life of American theoretical physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, who was director of the Los Alamos Laboratory and responsible for the creation of the first atomic bomb in the Manhattan Project.

With the expected release scheduled for July 21, the British-American director, 52, has now commented on how early viewers received the film.

Speak against Wired magazine, he explained, “Some people leave the movie absolutely devastated. They can’t talk.

“I mean, there’s an element of fear in the history and in the underpinnings. But the love for the characters, the love for the relationships, is as strong as I’ve ever been.”

The film stars some of the most famous faces in Hollywood, including Peaky Blinders’ Cillian Murphy, 46, as J. Robert Oppenheimer and Emily as his wife, biologist and botanist Katherine “Kitty” Oppenheimer.

Little Women star Florence Pugh, 27, plays psychiatrist Jean Tatlock.

Nolan said, “It’s an intense experience because it’s an intense story. I recently showed it to a filmmaker who said it’s kind of a horror movie. I don’t disagree.’

The director even admitted that he was “relieved to be done” with the project because of the emotional toll it took.

“When I started to finish the movie, I started to feel this color that isn’t in my other movies, just darkness. It’s there. The film fights against that,” he said.

Other famous faces include Robert Downey, Jr. who plays Lewis Strauss, one of the founders of the US Atomic Energy Commission.

Benny Safdie plays theoretical physicist Edward Teller, Michael Angarano plays Robert Serber, and Josh Hartnett plays pioneering American nuclear scientist Ernest Lawrence.

Oppenheimer also plays Rami Malek and reunites Nolan with eight-time Oscar-nominated actor, writer and filmmaker Kenneth Branagh.

It comes after Cillian Murphy said he was “desperate” to land the lead role in Christopher Nolan’s forthcoming Oppenheimer after five films as a supporting actor.

“I’ve always said to Chris publicly and privately that if I’m available and you want me to be in a movie, I’m there,” he said in an interview with AP.

“I don’t really care about the size of the part, but deep down, secretly, I was desperate for him to star.”

Oppenheimer will be in cinemas from July 21.
