Kevin Hart and Gugu Mbatha-Raw brighten up drizzly London in bold ensembles as they pose together at Netflix’s Lift photocall

Kevin Hart and Gugu Mbatha-Raw both cut a trendy figure as they posed together during a photocall for the Netflix heist film Lift at the Corinthia Hotel in London on Thursday.

The duo looked incredibly stylish as they staged a colorful exhibition for photographers against the drizzly backdrop, ahead of the release of their latest project on January 12.

The stars lead the heist comedy as part of a crew of professional thieves who take on a seemingly impossible mission: steal $500 million worth of gold bars from the cargo hold of a plane – while it’s in the air.

Gugu, 40, wore a striking lilac power suit and looked effortlessly sophisticated in the two-piece suit.

The actress wore the fitted blazer over a simple black top and tucked her slightly baggy pants into black leather boots.

Meanwhile, Kevin, 44, opted for a green, blue, black and gray block-coloured jumper and black trousers.

The comedian looked quite dapper as he wore a trendy pair of sunglasses for the photos as he beamed next to his co-star.

In addition to acting in Lift, Kevin also played a behind-the-scenes role and was one of the film’s producers.

The film was initially scheduled to be released in late August, but was postponed until January due to the ongoing writer and actor strikes.

The film also stars Vincent D’Onofrio, Ursula Corbero and Sam Worthington.

Speaking of filming for the project, Kevin said People: ‘I think there was a consistent, ongoing commitment that the cast stayed true to.

‘The days on set ended with us eating together in hotels. Whether it was all together or on different days, there was an amazing bit of connectivity that ultimately added great value to what we got here.”

The film also stars Vincent D’Onofrio; Úrsula Corberó; Billy Magnussen; Sam Worthington and Paul Anderson.

Gugu and Kevin are traveling the world ahead of the release of Lift, after attending the film’s premiere in New York on Monday.

The actress, who plays Abby, looked effortlessly elegant in a light gray sleeveless dress, while Kevin, who plays Cyrus, walked the red carpet in a stylish double-breasted suit as he arrived at Jazz at Lincoln Center in Manhattan.

Earlier this week, Kevin stood up for comedian Jo Koy after his hosting gig at the Golden Globes was largely labeled disastrous.

“I think Jo Koy is a great comedian, always has been,” he told DailyMail.com when asked about his performance. ‘

“It’s a tricky room, and without the knowledge and understanding of how to navigate a room, you can have moments and bumps.”

“Jo Koy is a talented, funny guy, and will always be that way. “People want to highlight the world of bad, but Jo will be good and always has been,” he said.

When asked by DailyMail.com if he would ever consider hosting another major awards ceremony, Kevin said a firm no.

“I’m at a point in my career where it has no value to me anymore,” he said. “But I do think it provides an amazing amount of visibility and a platform for exposure, but it’s not the easiest.”
