Mirren clipped a black headband over her long white tresses and she wore a matching lace jacket over a tea-length fishnet dress, cranberry tights and baroque ankle boots, chosen by stylist Rachel Fanconi.

Hackford plans to direct the L’Oréal Paris brand ambassador as a femme fatale enforcer dubbed “The Spider” in his upcoming detective noir thriller Sniff, alongside Al Pacino, Morgan Freeman and Danny DeVito.

The two-time Grammy winner, who has a 43-year-old son Alexander, is still mourning the loss of his eldest son Rio, who died of uveal melanoma on April 14 at the age of 51.

Helen – who is just one Grammy away from elite EGOT status – hosts the six-part fourth season of the critically acclaimed mockumentary series Documentary Now!, which airs Wednesdays on IFC and AMC+.

Still going strong!  The British actress and the Santa Barbara-born filmmaker - both aged 77 - originally met in 1986 and will celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary on December 31st
