Timothée Chalamet wore a magenta velvet suit as he attended the world premiere of Wonka on Tuesday evening in London.

Dune actor Chalamet, 27, who plays the movie's titular role, was bare chested when he took to the carpet in the suit which was paired with a short-length necklace.

Neil Hannon of The Divine Comedy, who composed the music for the new film, and his partner, singer Cathy Davey were also at the premiere.

Oscar-winner Olivia 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.

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

Both Colman, 49, and Chalamet were pictured promoting the film at Potter’s Field Park in London on Monday.

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.

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