American actress Amy Adams looked divine in a strapless Valentino dress and Casadei pumps, at the London premiere of the newest Superman film, Man of Steel. Adams completed her look with a simple hair do; she tied her hair into a bun with a black hair band. 

The event was at the Empire Leicester Square.

The 38-year-old Oscar-nominated actress -for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in 2006, 2009, 2011 and 2013- was joined on the red carpet by co-star and Superman Henry Cavill, who turned out in a midnight-blue Tom Ford suit. 

Adams recently revealed she auditioned three separate times for the role of Lois Lane, Superman’s love interest and a reporter with the Daily Planet.

“I think that I was at the right time to try something new,” she said, “I think had I done it in the past I would have tried to emulate something I saw, or one of the comics. I would really be trying to emulate something as opposed to trying something new.”

German actress Antje Traue, who plays Faora-Ul, a super villain from Superman’s home planet, Krypton, was also at the event. The 32-year-old looked elegant in a Chanel dress with black Christian Louboutin heels and a side-parted bun. Cast members Russell Crowe -who plays Jor-El, Superman’s father- and Michael Shannon -who plays leading antagonist General Zod, also a former Kryptonian-. 

Meanwhile, Cavill spoke about the experience of playing an iconic comic book character.

“The first time I put it on it was like it had a force of its own. When I put it on I felt different and people behaved differently around me. It really felt like we were creating something special,” the 30-year-old said.
