Though she doesn’t appear in the film, actress Leslie Mann managed to catch our eye while attending the UK premiere of Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues.
Amid gowns and cocktail dresses, Leslie was white hot in a serene Viktor & Rolf jumpsuit. She layered the sleeveless jumpsuit beneath a very chic Saint Laurent tweed coat, which not only made her look runway-ready but also kept her warm from the cold!

The then-41-year-old finished her ensemble with a killer pair of Saint Laurent pumps. The black pumps are a variation of the popular “Janis” we’ve seen on several celebrities, including Jennifer Lawrence and Nicole Scherzinger.
