Letitia Wright joined director Steve McQueen for the photocall of his film Mangrove, which opens the BFI London Film Festival on Wednesday.

The Black Panther star, 26, and 12 Years A Slave filmmaker, 50, enjoyed a socially distanced red carpet alongside fellow stars Shaun Parkes and Rochenda Sandall, producer Tracey Scoffield, and festival director Tricia Tuttle.

Putting on a stylish display, Letitia slipped into a bright pink co-ordinated suit that paired a chic jacket with bell-bottom trousers.

She boosted her height in a pair of white heels that had black toe caps, and she added a glittering touch to her look with a pair of gold hoop earrings.

Her raven tresses were pulled back into a tight bun, while she wore a light palette of make-up to accentuate her pretty features.

Steve, meanwhile, wrapped up warm in a black coat that he shrugged on over a green shirt and loose-fitting denim jeans.

Letitia and Steve posed together on the red carpet, keeping a safe 2 metre distance away from each other as they smiled at one another.

Steve has created the five-part miniseries Small Axe, which documents the lives of West Indians during the mid-20th Century, and pinpoints certain historic moments including the 1981 Brixton Uprising.

The series features five individual stories about the hardships West Indians faced, and features stars including John Boyega and Letitia Wright. 

Mangrove tells the story of the trial on the Mangrove nine in 1970, a group of activists who clashed with police over acknowledgement of racial hatred within the Metropolitan Police.
