Colman, who plays Mrs Scrubbit in the movie, took selfies with fans at the Royal Festival Hall, Southbank Centre and sported a long black dress with a sheer cape for the event.

In a photocall promoting the film the day before the premiere, Colman was pictured in a green dress and was still brunette. It is not the first time she has sported lighter locks, having arrived on the Oscars red carpet in 2020 sporting a blonde crop.

The new adaptation of Roald Dahl’s classic tale sees Timothee Chalamet star as Willy Wonka.

The Call Me By Your Name actor, 27, was bare chested when he took to the carpet at the London premiere in a velvet-look suit that was paired with a short-length necklace.

The film is based on Dahl’s Charlie And The Chocolate Factory which was published in 1964, and tells the tale of a chocolate factory full of mind-bending treats and orange Oompa-Loompas.

The surge in promotion comes after US actors’ union Sag-Aftra reached a deal with the Alliance of Motion Picture and TV Producers (AMPTP) to end the 118-day walkout earlier this month.

Horrible Histories actor Matthew Baynton, who stars as Fickelgruber in the film, was at the premiere sporting a dark navy and black suit with coiffed hair.

Simon Farnaby, who starred in the CBBC children’s programme alongside Bayton, sported a blue velvet jacket with a standout black collar that matched his shirt.

The comic actor wrote the screenplay for Wonka alongside Paddington writer and director, Paul King.
