Kelly MacDonald and Colin Firth lead the stars attending the Operation Mincemeat premiere

Kelly Macdonald and Colin Firth led the stars attending the Operation Mincemeat premiere at Curzon Mayfair in London on Tuesday.

Kelly arrived on the blue carpet in a black and silver patterned shirt which she paired with a black skirt.

The star added height to her frame with a pair of black ankle boots and completed her outfit with matching tights.

Cinching her waist with a matching belt, the actress completed her look by styling her locks into a bun.

Colin, who plays British judge Ewen Montague in the war drama, looked suave for the screening as he wore a black blazer and trousers with a white shirt.

Their co-star Jason Isaacs looked dapper in an all black look, sporting a matching blazer, pants and shirt.

Claudia Winkleman looked sensational as she made a rare public appearance with husband Kris Thykier.

The Strictly Come Dancing presenter donned a black blazer, pairing it with matching leggings.

Adding height to her frame with a pair of white heels, the broadcaster carried a black handbag and let her hair fall down her shoulders.

Kris, who served as a producer on Operation Mincemeat, wore a dark gray blazer, mathching pants and a white shirt.

Keeley Hawes appeared in high spirits at the event where she signed autographs for fans as they arrived.

The star donned a long-sleeved black dress with a sheer detail and styled her blonde locks into a bob.

Jimmy Carr made his first red carpet appearance since the controversy surrounding his Holocaust joke.

The comedian drew criticism over a sound clip special His Dark Material, which saw him joke that “the thousands of gypsies killed by the Nazis” were a “positive” effect of the Holocaust.

However, he has since put the controversy behind him and appeared in good spirits at the film’s premiere where he sported a three-piece blue suit.

Also present was actress Margaret Clunie who wore a black dress and matching ankle boots.

The Victoria star also donned a pair of matching tights and wrapped herself in a beige coat, adding a black handbag to her look.

Charlotte Hamblin opted for a black and yellow midi dress with a patterned print and a V-neckline.

The actress wore a pair of gold peep toe heels and added matching earrings to her outfit.

Having already hit the big screen in 1956, the 1943 blockbuster will document the real life of Operation Mincemeat.

The mission was to divert the Axis from an Allied invasion and the liberation of Sicily and involved making the corpse of a soldier appear as a downed pilot.

He would carry documents showing an Allied plan to attack Axis-controlled Greece rather than Sicily.

The corpse would then have been ashore near a known Axis base, having been dropped into the ocean, leading Axis forces to defend Greece, which enabled Allied forces to liberate Sicily. .
