Toni Collette radiated in a dazzling silver ensemble at the London premiere of her latest cinematic venture, Mickey 17. The Oscar-nominee arrived at the sci-fi comedy's February 13th premiere, a Thursday, encrusted in shimmering crystals. At 52, Collette donned a form-hugging silver gown adorned with sequins and crystals, which cleverly cascaded at her waist to create an intricate hourglass silhouette. A matching cape flowed behind her, enhancing the illusion of liquid sequins.

Accessorizing her look were tiered, dangling crystal earrings and floral-designed silver rings. Her glamour was completed with a sleek, half-up, half-down blonde hairstyle, and a soft glam makeup look featuring a hint of light metallic eyeshadow and a bold red lipstick that perfectly complemented her vibrant manicure.

During the premiere, Collette exclusively shared her excitement with PEOPLE about working on director Bong Joon Ho's latest film. Starring alongside Robert Pattinson, Naomi Ackie, Steven Yeun, and Mark Ruffalo in the upcoming comedy, she gushed, "I got to work with Bong Joon Ho—are you kidding me? It was absolutely incredible, every moment of it," she enthused. "I couldn't believe my luck the entire time."

The Emmy winner expressed her hope that audiences would "have a blast" watching the film, which she believes conveys the message that "we all matter."

Mickey 17 follows the unexpected journey of Mickey Barnes (Pattinson), who finds himself in an extraordinary predicament: working for an employer who demands the ultimate dedication to the job—dying for a living. However, each time Mickey perishes, a new version of him is generated through a human-printing process, sending him back to perform perilous tasks repeatedly.

At CinemaCon in Las Vegas in April 2024, Pattinson teased the film, expressing his thrill at portraying "two incredibly fun characters," according to Entertainment Weekly. He explained, "Mickey 17 is someone who has the lowest expectations in life, yet the world keeps pushing those boundaries, leading him to a job that tortures him daily. Then comes Mickey 18, with frontal lobe damage and no self-control, his libido running wild. It's like playing an evil brother or twin."

Mickey 17 hits theaters on Friday, March 7.
