The Oscar-winning actress posed at a photo call for the film in West Hollywood on Monday, making a statement in a red plaid coat. Her long style featured a double-breasted silhouette with long sleeves, a pointed collar and buckled belt, covered in an interlocking black and yellow tartan plaid print.

When it came to footwear, Mirren laced into a soaring pair of Vivienne Westwood pumps to complete her outfit. The actress’ $1,164 style featured black leather uppers with closed toes and platform soles, coated in allover crocodile embossments. The reptilian pair was finished with lace-up straps that tied around her ankles, as well as 5.9-inch block heels for a sharp height boost. The set added a punky finish to Mirren’s attire, allowing her outfit to appear both sophisticated and rebellious.
