The stars were out in force for the event to celebrate the new film starring Paul Mescal, Denzel Washington and Pedro Pascal which hits UK cinemas later this week.
The Saturdays singer Una, 43, put on a busty display in the shimmering number which she wore with a pair of silver pointed heels.

Strictly’s Nadiya, 35, brought some classy elegance to proceedings in a flowing silver dress which she teamed with a perfect shiny handbag.
Kimberley, 33, meanwhile wowed in a busty black dress which showed off her incredible physique and was teamed with nude heels.
Leading man Paul looked effortlessly stylish as he walked the red carpet. Arriving at Odeon Luxe Leicester Square, London, the Irish actor, 28, was joined by his co-stars Connie Nielsen, Yuval Gonen and Pedro.
Paul, who plays the former heir to the Roman Empire Lucius Verus in the blockbuster, opted for a smart black suit with a cream satin shirt.
Early reviews from critics have called Gladiator II the ‘best movie of the year’ and a ‘true epic’ as they hailed Paul and Denzel Washington’s performances.
With Russell Crowe’s legendary Maximus long-since dead and buried, it is vengeful Lucius (Paul) who must fight for his liberty in the film after being taken into slavery and ripped away from his wife and daughter by general Marcus (Pedro Pascal).
On Wednesday Paul revealed the insane bet he had with Ridley Scott over one Gladiator II stunt that caused a huge argument between pair.
In a new interview with Vanity Fair Paul told how there was a scene towards the end of the film where a weary Lucius mounts a horse in hot pursuit of Macrinus.
Paul was keen to do his best for the action-packed moment and the other stunts so ‘trained for f***ing months’ – before Ridley changed his mind about the scene.

Paul told the publication: ‘Two weeks before the scene, Ridley says, ‘You’re not f***ing doing it,’ and I was like, ‘What the f**k?,’ and we had this argument.’
Ridley had decided to cut the scene due to some equine advice he had received on another movie
Paul added of the altercation: ‘I was pestering him constantly. And then the day before, he goes, ‘OK, you can do the stunt, but if you come off, it’s two Bentleys.’
He eventually pulled the move off in just a couple of takes.
It comes after last week Paul revealed he became so ripped he felt his body ‘could inflict real damage’ after his intense training sessions for Gladiator II.
The star explained that after working out with a fitness coach, riding horses and learning to fight, he began to feel strong and powerful.
Paul, who had no previous experience of body building or working out, transformed himself for the role in Ridley Scott’s film.
He told The Sun: ‘You start feeling like your body can inflict damage, which is weird.
‘It changes the way you move and operate. And that’s a fun kind of place to live when it’s make-believe.’
The actor, who rose to fame as Connel Waldron in the BBC’s lockdown smash hit Normal People, plays the son of Russell Crowe’s legendary Maximus.
Although the character is long-since dead and buried, it is vengeful Lucius (Paul) who must fight for his liberty in the film after being taken into slavery and ripped away from his wife and daughter by general Marcus (Pedro Pascal).
Gladiator II takes place several decades after the first instalment, and features Lucius (the son of Connie Nielsen’s Lucilla) who is now living in Numidia, a region of northern Africa.
Although he was sent to Numidia as a child, the film follows Lucius’ return to Rome to reunite with his mother—and coming into conflict as he does so.
The film, which was 20 years in the making has been a hit with critics and fans have praised Paul’s performance.
But the star revealed on The Graham Norton Show that there was a lot of work to make him ready to play such an iconic role.
Of the regime that turned him into a Roman hunk, Paul told Graham: ‘I ate a lot of chicken and lifted heavy things. I was working with a trainer who circled me like a shark and said ‘There is a canvas to work with”.

‘He went to town, and I saw him every day, It was fun,’ before revealing he didn’t totally embrace the strict rules.
‘I did everything he asked but I like to drink, and I like to smoke so I drew a line in the sand where those were concerned’.
‘I was petrified that they were going to take away everything, like drinking and I smoke. Everything fun,’ he said.
Paul went on to say he asked his fitness trainer Tim Blakeley to help him work drinking and smoking into his rigorous training regime.
‘I very earnestly was like, ‘Look, Tim, I’m going to keep drinking and smoking for a little bit if I can,” Paul recalled.
‘He very kindly incorporated them, not into the workout routine, but just into my life.’
