The girl with the pearl belt: Naomie Harris stuns as she shows off toned waist in classy cut-out dress at Italia Festival
It’s a busy time of year for the stars of the big screen what with all the award ceremonies/festivals going on and it can be tricky to find something glamorous to wear for every occasion.
But while Naomie Harris hasn’t been winning awards this season, she has certainly impressed with her wardrobe.
And on Sunday evening the 37-year-old did it again in an elegant yet daring cut-out black dress as she attended the 9TH Annual Los Angeles Italia Festival in Hollywood.

The skin-baring section showed off her toned and muscly stomach, while her impressive arms were also left bare.
Looking exceptionally elegant she wore her hair off her face in a sleek chignon, a black clutch and heels.

She was accompanied for the occasion by U2 singer Bono, who was being honoured for his song Original Love from Naomie’s film Mandela.
Sitting beside them was Al Pacino, who looked his usual cool self with a white scarf draped around his neck.
Naonie was unceremoniously snubbed by BAFTA for her role as Winnie in the Mandela biopic, as was Idris Elba who also failed to receive a nomination for his portrayal of the great Nelson Mandela.

However while Idris didn't seem too upset by his own lack of acceptance, he sprung to Naomie's defence via his Twitter page.
Writing last month, he said: 'Ok peeps, ...I've got an appointment at the @BAFTA I'm gonna do a #Lutherrage and ask where @NaomieHarris nomination?'
Other stars at the event included Lady Victoria Hervey who showed off a very deep tan wearing a sequined dress with a blue fur stole.
