Emilia, 31, plays Qi'ra in the movie, and looked beautiful in a purple tulle gown.

The Game of Thrones star beamed as she posed for pictures in front of the paparazzi, before being joined by her co-stars and the film's director, Ron Howard.

Emilia looked like she was having a fabulous time in the French town, laughing as she stood at the top of the stairs with her fellow actors before heading inside.

Meanwhile Thandie, who plays a character called Val in the flick, wore a colourful dress which featured prints of Star Wars characters.
