It was very much a case of back to black on the red carpet at the London premiere of a new Amy Wine-house biopic last week.

Back to Black's stars all chose to dress in chic dark clothing for the screening, with actress Marisa Abela, who plays the singer, stealing the spotlight in a halterneck Fendi Couture dress.

The Industry star kept her dark hair long-having emulated Amy's famous beehive in the film-and posed for photos with her co-star Jack O'Connell, who plays the singer's husband Blake Fielder-Civil.

"You don't get parts like Amy every day," said Marisa, 27, speaking outside the Odeon Luxe Leicester Square. "And that's not because she's Amy Wine-house, but because she was everything in one.

"She was smart and funny and bold and brave, but also incredibly vulnerable and emotional, and that's what I wanted to bring. I wanted to remind people of the vulnerability of Amy, the girl behind the music."
