Dame Emma Thompson was worlds away from her gruesome character Miss Trunchbull at a Gala screening of Matilda The musical in London on Monday.

The Oscar winner, 63, lovingly wrapped her jacket around lead actress Alisha Weir, 13, as they hit the red carpet at the Curzon cinema in Mayfair.

Emma cut a casual figure for the evening in an all white ensemble, that featured trousers and an oversized sweater.
