Glowing: Rosamund, 35, wore a black caped mini dress with a pair of T-bar heeled sandals
The London born actress, who announced her pregnancy in June, teamed her dress with a pair of black T-bar heeled sandals which were embellished with rhinestones.
Giving the option of jewellery a pass, Pike wore her blonde locks back in an updo while she sported bright red lips.
Despite winning the fashion stakes for the evening, it seems that television presenter Laura Whitmore beat Rosamund to debuting the dress as she donned the exact same frock in white on Tuesday evening to the premiere of Daniel Radcliffe's new film, What If.

Speaking about the film, Simon told the Independent: 'The thing about Hector is that he sets out to find out what makes people happy but he is really trying to find out what makes him happy, because he has no happiness.
He added: 'A lot of us still go through life regarding love and sex as we did when we were seven. And we take that into adulthood.'
The film is adapted from the 2002 debut novel by François Lelord, a French psychiatrist.
