And she ensured she stood out at the film’s London launch by modelling a light green silk kaftan dress from ELIE SAAB’s Fall/Winter 2023 Prêt-à-Porter Collection – retailing at £4,143.

Her stylish number featured a high neckline, slit cape sleeves, and a flowing, draped silhouette.

He paired the ensemble with a crisp white shirt, a brown tie, and polished brown leather loafers, proudly wrapping an arm around his wife as they smiled for the cameras. 

Also starring Benedict Cumberbatch, 49, the dark divorce comedy is based on the 1981 novel and is set to hit cinemas on August 29. 

Olivia and Benedict follow in the footsteps of Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner as they play a married couple whose increasingly bitter separation explodes into comically exaggerated resentment and hatred. 

The movie is directed by Jay Roach, who previously worked on the Austin Powers comedies, and is scripted by Poor Things writer Tony McNamara. 

The cast also includes the new Doctor Who, Ncuti Gatwa, and American comedians Andy Samberg and Kate McKinnon.

Filming took place in both Salcombe, south Devon and Los Angeles, with the pair first seen on set on a beach in Devon in June last year.

The 1989 version was directed by Danny DeVito, who also starred as a divorce lawyer, reuniting a trio who had proved so successful in the 1984 adventure Romancing the Stone and its sequel, The Jewel Of The Nile.

The new version has been described as a ‘re-imagining’.

Producers Searchlight Pictures say of the plot: ‘Life seems easy for picture-perfect couple Theo and Ivy: successful careers, great kids, an enviable sex life. 

‘But underneath the facade of the perfect family is a tinderbox of competition and resentments that’s ignited when Theo’s professional dreams come crashing down.’

Sources say that despite the actors being ‘very keen’ to work together, all was not well during filming, with Benedict’s serious ‘method’ acting at odds with Olivia’s ‘no-nonsense, let’s get on with it’ attitude.  

One insider told The Mail on Sunday: ‘The Roses was supposed to be a fairly easy and straightforward one to film – about a husband and a wife who don’t like one another.

‘But at times Benedict was treating it like it was some kind of Shakespearean play, wanting to seriously connect with his part, which is totally fair enough.

‘Olivia is very much the type to just get on with it, no faffing. It’s a comedy – it’s like there was a lot of overthinking going on.

‘It led to the chemistry between them not exactly being the best. It was a comedy, like a romcom, not the airy fairy-type stuff Benedict has done before.’ 

A spokesman for Benedict attempted to play down the issues between the pair.
