The Crown’s Lesley Manville stuns on the red carpet premiere of Mrs. Harris Goes To Paris

Lesley Manville led the way at the red carpet premiere for her latest film Mrs Harris Goes To Paris in her chic all-black outfit.

The 66-year-old posed with co-stars at the Curzon Mayfair cinema in central London, which had a miniature Eiffel Tower behind it to set the stage for the newly released adaptation of Paul Gallico’s 1958 novel.

The Crown actress takes on the role of widowed Ada, a hard-working housekeeper who decides to spend her savings on a Dior dress after seeing a wealthy client wearing one.

She skimps and saves (and gambles on the dog track) to raise enough money and eventually arrives at Dior’s Avenue Montaigne headquarters, where she charms everyone.

The fairy tale is complete when she moves to Paris and begins to make some changes – for the better – in the fashion house.

On Sunday night, Lesley wore a stylish black leather blazer and a pair of straight-leg pants, completing the all-black look with a pair of patent leather pointed pumps peeking under the legs.

Her warm brown locks looked voluminous as it was styled off her face to show off her face.

Brown shimmery eyeliner made her blue eyes pop and brightened up the dark outfit with a gorgeous red lip color.

Proud of Lesley were her co-stars Rose Williams, who plays Pamela Penrose, Lucas Bravo, who plays Andre Fauvel, and Jason Isaacs who plays Archie in the new film.

Also in attendance are Ellen Thomas, who plays Ada’s co-worker, cleaner Vi Butterfield, and Lambert Wilson, who plays Marquis de Chassagne.

Rose Williams, 28, also went for an all-black look with a sleek blazer and frilly midi skirt, completing her look by wearing her hair in a braided bun tied with a black ribbon.

Ellen Thomas, 66, looked sensational in a matching orange, black and navy striped shirt and trouser set, with a bold, fur-trimmed beige cape.

Lucas Bravo wore a midnight blue velvet suit with a dark blue patterned shirt, while Lambert Wilson and Jason Isaacs donned soft navy suits for the occasion.

Lesley recently took over the role of Princess Margaret from actress Helena Bonham Carter on the next season of The Crown, due out in November.

Last month, Lesley revealed that it was easier to get the title role in Mrs. Harris Goes To Play Paris Then Play Princess Margaret In The Crown.

She explained that the cleaner’s role was more recognizable and told Alison Boshoff of The Daily Mail: ‘It’s in my bones. That was the life I knew, because I had working-class parents.’

Lesley reflects: ‘I didn’t know the book at all. It came to me as an offer, so it was nice to read it, knowing it was mine if I wanted it.’

Continued: ‘It was more of a stretch when I play someone like Princess Margaret, because I had no knowledge of that life.’
