Helen Mirren wows in figure-hugging red gown

Helen Mirren has stepped out in a stunning figure-hugging red gown to promote her new horror movie Winchester.

The 72-year-old looked typically glamorous in a floor-sweeping red frock with sequined sleeves that showed off her curves. She finished the look with statement earrings and perfectly coiffed hair.

Promoting the thriller in Italy, Mirren, who plays an eccentric heiress haunted by lost souls, got right into character posing for photos holding a dagger.

 The film Winchester will be out in cinemas next week.
