Marisa Abela looks chic in floor-length halter neck dress as she poses with co-star Jack O’Connell at the world premiere of controversial Amy Winehouse biopic Back to Black

Marisa Abela looked chic as she walked the red carpet at the London premiere of Amy Winehouse biopic Back to Black on Monday.

The actress, 27, stars as singer Amy – who tragically died of alcohol poisoning in 2011 at the age of 27 – while actor Jack O’Connell, 33, plays her widower Blake Fielder-Civil.

Screen star Marisa wore a black halter-neck floor-length dress with a fishtail train that floated across the floor as she posed for waiting photographers.

The garment perfectly accentuated her hourglass figure as she arrived at the Odeon Luxe Leicester Square.

Her hair was slightly pinned up in the back, although it didn’t resemble Amy’s famous towering beehive.

She was seen upon arrival posing with Jack, who wore a white T-shirt under a long black coat. He wore matching black pants and a pair of nice black shoes to complete his look

The actress, 27, stars as singer Amy – who tragically died of alcohol poisoning in 2011 at the age of 27 – while actor Jack O’Connell, 33, plays her widower Blake Fielder-Civil.

She was seen upon arrival posing with Jack, who wore a white T-shirt under a long black coat.

He wore matching black pants and a pair of beautiful patent black shoes to complete his look.

Back To Black, which is endorsed by Amy’s father Mitch (played by Eddie Marsan), has sparked outrage from the singer’s friends who slammed it for its “grisly” depictions of the star’s drug addiction and also the filming of her funeral.

Blake, who was married to the singer between 2007 and 2009, previously admitted introducing her to heroin and is seen by many of her fans as partly responsible for her death from alcohol poisoning.

In the trailer, Amy declares that she wants to be known for more than her singing and her desperation to become a mother, before sadly dying childless.

In an emotional scene she describes Blake as ‘her life and soul’ before their on/off relationship inspires her to write the iconic song Back To Black.

Last year, Blake said he would have done “almost everything differently” in their relationship as he marked Amy’s 40th birthday.

Blake, who rarely gives interviews, was asked by Good Morning Britain presenters Susanna Reid and Ben Shephard what he would have done differently. He replied, “Almost everything.”

He continued, “It’s sad, but I wanted to wish Amy a happy birthday. It’s terrible that she’s not here. I think about her all the time, I thought about her this morning when I said happy birthday to her, she was my best friend.

“If certain factors hadn’t been there, I think it could have been a different outcome. For Amy, everything happened very quickly. We were young.’

It comes after Amy’s father Mitch Winehouse, who is played in the film by Eddie Marsan, caused shockwaves when it was revealed he approved of the film, which has come under fire for ‘grisly’ depictions of the star’s drug addiction and also the filming her funeral. .

The star’s biopic has sparked outrage among friends, with musician Neon Hitch calling the film ‘ridiculous’ and ‘tasteless’ and saying: ‘I feel very strange. Can you please let Amy rest?’

Friends expressed their anger at her father after he allowed grisly scenes of Amy’s drug overdose to be filmed in her old flat. Last February, Marisa was seen wearing an oxygen mask as she left the property in North London.

The flat is now owned by Mitch, who also appears in the scene, while Eddie filmed alongside Marisa and other actors playing paramedics.
