Dame Helen Mirren attended the premiere of "A Talent for Murder" in London on Thursday evening, sporting a vibrant red coat and black leather gloves. The 81-year-old actress cinched the stylish jacket with a coordinated belt and layered it over a long black pleated skirt.

Mirren, who plays author Patricia Highsmith in the thriller, completed her look with leather boots and a matching handbag. Her bobbed hair was styled straight, and she accessorized with drop earrings and a glamorous makeup palette.

She was joined on the red carpet at Picturehouse Central by the film's director, Anton Corbijn. "A Talent for Murder" reportedly follows a young publisher who travels to Switzerland to convince Highsmith to write a final installment of the Ripley series.
