The Wuthering Heights star paired her dress with pointed black heels and a matching clutch, while she kept her accessories simple with a dainty gold piece of jewelry.
Charlotte completed her stunning look with a dewy makeup palette, the beauty sweeping her raven locks into a top knot.

The actress, who is proud to be the mother of her two children aged six and three, co-founded the WonderWorks nursery near Warner Bros. studios in Hertfordshire the year before.
Although Charlotte and her husband Tom Hardy have a fortune of millions of pounds which would allow them to hire a nanny, the mother-of-two explained that the nursery was “vital” for the film industry.
Speaking to The Times, Charlotte said: ‘We have so many people, especially women, who are in their mid-thirties who want to have children but have left, ‘Oh my God, I’m literally on the verge point of directing my first film.” Then they have to choose and it’s very bad.

The press star continued: “The industry chooses to work these long hours, 15 hour days. Now is the time for the industry to take some responsibility for its social impact.
During the interview, the actress said she wasn’t forced to turn down jobs because she could afford to hire a nanny “because my partner works.”
But Charlotte said the nursery is important for those in the industry who don’t have huge salaries, who have to work on short contracts and move between studio and location shoots.
Tom and Charlotte starred together in Peaky Blinders and met on the set of an adaptation of Wuthering Heights. They married in July 2014.
