She is used to dressing up to the nines when she appears on Britain’s Got Talent every week. But Alesha Dixon clearly doesn’t get bored of it as she proved when she attended the UK premiere of Belle on Thursday evening at the BFI Southbank.
The 35-year-old looked sensational as per usual wearing a long red skirt and a stomach baring black top. While many would shy away from wearing red on the red carpet, Alesha clearly had no qualms which paid off as the skirt looked stunning. In keeping with her sleek look she wore her hair loose and straight falling down her back. The mother-of-one has had a busy week after attending the Glamour Women Of The Year Awards on Tuesday evening, where she presented an award alongside Amanda Holden.
This weekend she will once again have to pull out all the stops as BGT live shows continue. Belle is British drama directed Amma Asante, which stars Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Tom Wilkinson, Miranda Richardson, Penelope Wilton, Sam Reid, Matthew Goode, Emily Watson, Sarah Gadon, Tom Felton, and James Norton. The film is inspired by the 1779 painting of Dido Elizabeth Belle beside her cousin Lady Elizabeth Murray.
Commissioned by William Murray, 1st Earl of Mansfield, then Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales, the portrait of his two nieces hung in England’s Kenwood House, until 1922. Very little is known about Dido Belle’s life in the Mansfield home. The film centers on Dido’s relationship with an aspiring young lawyer and is set at a time of legal significance as the potential ramifications of the Zong massacre become apparent.
Lord Mansfield’s ruling on this infamous case, in England’s Court of King’s Bench, became an important step in bringing an end to slavery in England. The premiere was also attended by film’s leading lady Gugu Mbatha-Raw, who wowed in a short black dress. Former Suga babe Jade Ewan was also in attendance, wearing a patterned miniskirt and white cropped T-shirt.
