Helen George exuded glamour as she posed for a photocall at the Savoy Theatre on Monday while promoting her musical, The King And I.
The actress, 39, dazzled in a one-shouldered periwinkle blue gown with ruffled detailing along the bodice.
She teamed the garment with perspex heels and styed her hair in a chic chignon to expose her diamond stud earrings.
Helen will return to the stage next year following The King and I’s record-breaking season at The London Palladium and sell-out UK Tour.
She will reprise her role as Anna when the production returns for a limited six week run at London Palladium from January 20.

After receiving rave reviews for her performance, Helen said that she is ‘delighted’ to be able to continue in the show and playing on the West End will be ‘an honour.’
Set in 1860s Bangkok, The King and I tells the story of the unconventional and tempestuous relationship that develops between the King of Siam and Anna Leonowens, a British schoolteacher.
Helen plays the British schoolteacher who is hired by the King of Siam to educate his many wives and children.
The King And I is one of the best-loved musicals of all time, crammed with huge show tunes including Shall We Dance? and Getting To Know You.
The Daily Mail gave the production a glowing review saying: ‘We left the London Palladium on a bright cloud of music – joyous!’
One of Helen’s friends who will no doubt be keen for a ticket is her Call The Midwife co-star Olly Rix after they sparked rumours of a growing connection following their recent breakups.
Helen and Olly are said to be supporting each other as they navigate through their heartbreak.
The actors are known for their roles as on-screen married couple Trixie Franklin and Matthew Aylward in BBC drama, Call The Midwife.

Earlier this month Olly was spotted outside his home before returning with two coffees, with Helen emerging a few hours later.
Helen carried a large bag out with her and was accompanied by her dog Charlie, as she made her way back to her own house – ten miles away in East London.
An onlooker told The Sun on Sunday how Olly ‘looked relaxed’ and when Helen left the premises, she looked a ‘little dishevelled’.
The sightings have fuelled speculation about a budding bond between the two co-stars who share a close connection, despite Olly’s character reportedly being written out of the show.
An insider said: ‘It’s been a tricky year for both Helen and Olly. They have been spending a lot of time together on set, walking their dogs together and chatting a lot.
‘They both have respect for each other as actors and they are supportive of each other and dedicated to their roles on the drama. The changes in their relationships have caused a lot of upheaval.’
A spokesperson for Helen said: ‘Yes, she went to visit a friend for a cup of tea – like all friends do – and as we have always said, there is nothing more to this.’
Mail Online contacted Olly’s representatives for further comment.
Olly recently split from his makeup artist girlfriend Natasha after seven years together in July after allegedly drifting apart due to work commitments.
A source said at the time to The Sun: ‘Olly and Natasha were very happy together for a long time, but eventually drifted apart due to work commitments.’
‘They have a lot of respect for each other and share custody of their pet dog. They are both busy with work and focusing on their future and different projects.’
Meanwhile, Helen split from her partner Jack Ashton the same month, after they first met on the set of Call The Midwife seven years prior.
