Emily looked incredible in a blue satin dress, which matched the blue carpet laid down outside the famous London venue.

She was joined by her co-stars Colin Firth, Ben Whishaw, Meryl Streep, Lin-Manuel Miranda and Emily Mortimer.

Guests at the screening included Kelly Brook, who looked sensational in a tight pink frock, Jessica Wright, Maisie Williams, Georgia Toffolo and Edith Bowman.

The crowds outside the Royal Albert Hall were entertained by dancing chimney sweeps and nannies with umbrellas in a nod to scenes from the 1964 original.
