Emily Atack led the Rivals cast on the pink carpet for the screening of the Disney+ show in London on Tuesday.

Emily complemented the look with sheer tights, black heels and gold earrings.
The I’m A Celebrity star plays Sarah Stratton in the drama, who is described as ambitious and not afraid to use her looks.
Emily was joined by a whole host of stars who appear in the adaptation of the Jilly Cooper novel, set to be released next month.

Aidan Turner, 41, looked trendy in a purple suit and polo neck. Danny Dyer, 47, who also stars in the eight part series, also hit the pink carpet.
David Tennant, 53, put on an animated display as he larked around with the rest of the cast and Jilly.
The Disney+ adaptation of Jilly Cooper’s Rivals will take an ‘equal opportunities’ approach to nudity, according to the show’s executive producer.
The streaming channel has promised to bring a ‘2020s lens’ to the 1980s classic – a notoriously politically incorrect tale of sex and scandal in the English social elite.
The story focuses on the tense rivalry between Rupert Campbell-Black (Alex Hassell) and Lord Tony Baddingham (David Tennant).
The racy eight-part series is set to air from October 18 – but many viewers have been left wondering how its themes would be translated for a modern audience.
In an interview with The Times, writer and executive producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins, who has previously worked on EastEnders, has shed light on the much anticipated new TV series.
He said: ‘We’ve been equal opportunities in our nudity. There’s a willy for every pair of t***.’

He added: ‘Jilly comes across as fluffy and lovely – but she’s got a steely eye when it comes to the sexism, the homophobia, the racism, class.’
And according to Disney+, Rivals is a ‘joyously mischievous rollercoaster ride, steamy in its love stories and packed with larger-than-life characters.’
The streaming service continues that it brings a ‘2020s lens to the 1980s’, offering a ‘raw exploration of a complicated moment in British history when class, race, sex, wealth, and sexual liberation meant that, for the very privileged few, there were no limits to what they could achieve’.
In Jilly’s Rutshire Chronicles universe, marriages are largely of convenience, with wives accepting ‘boys will be boys’.
Men are applauded for their caddish tendencies – while weight is referenced in a way that would not be acceptable to a modern audience.
One wife proudly announces that she weighs seven stone and that anyone larger than a size six is fat. Another is referred to as ‘poor fat Sharon’.
It also features powerful man approaching 40 hitching up with a young woman yet to turn 19.
The cast includes Poldark heartthrob Aidan, ex-Doctor Who David , Sex Education actress Bella Maclean and Alex Hassell, from BBC fantasy series His Dark Materials.
