The spotlight was on Keira Knightley and Hannah Waddingham on Thursday night as the stars reunited at the BAFTA Piccadilly premiere of their upcoming Netflix film, The Woman in Cabin 10.
Fans and photographers alike were treated to a glamorous display as the co-stars shared warm embraces and radiant smiles on the blue carpet.
Keira Stuns in Vintage-Inspired Glamour
Keira, 40, looked effortlessly sophisticated in a vintage-inspired olive green gown adorned with embroidered flowers, intricate beading, and sparkling diamond accents.
She cinched her waist with two brown leather belts and added a quirky lace ruff around her neck, pairing the ensemble with black lace-up boots.
Her makeup was radiant, and her signature charm lit up the red carpet as she posed and laughed with her co-stars.
Hannah Wows in a Plunging Denim Dress
Hannah Waddingham, 51, made a statement in a daring plunging denim dress that hugged her curves and featured black beaded details on the pockets.
The Ted Lasso star charmed photographers as she struck playful poses, shared a heartfelt hug with Keira, and enjoyed a sweet moment with co-star Guy Pearce.
The Men Shine Too
Guy Pearce, 57, looked dapper in a velvet tuxedo jacket paired with navy trousers and a simple white T-shirt.
Daniel Ings impressed in a smart black blazer over a collared shirt with tailored grey trousers, while David Ajala turned heads in a royal blue jacket with canvas trim and matching trousers.
Norwegian actress Gitte Witt brought high-fashion drama in an off-the-shoulder little black dress with voluminous sleeves and a leg-baring silhouette.
A Star-Studded Cast for a Psychological Thriller
Keira stars as travel journalist Laura ‘Lo’ Blacklock in The Woman in Cabin 10, a psychological thriller based on Ruth Ware’s bestselling 2016 novel.
The story follows Laura as she embarks on a luxury yacht assignment, only to witness a passenger being thrown overboard—and is told she must have imagined it, as all passengers are accounted for.
Guy Pearce plays Richard Bullmer, Hannah stars as Heidi, Daniel Ings as Adam, Gitte Witt as Carrie, and David Ajala as Ben.
The ensemble cast also includes Kaya Scodelario, Art Malik, David Morrissey, Paul Kaye, and John Macmillan.
Ruth Ware on the Story’s Timeless Resonance
Author Ruth Ware shared with Tudum that the story’s central theme remains relevant even a decade after writing it.
“The fear of not being believed is perennial, unfortunately,” she said.
Cabin 10, at its heart, is about a woman who experiences something wrong, reports it truthfully, and isn’t taken seriously because of who she is.
Too many people know what that feels like, and I think we want vindication for ourselves as much as Lo.”
Praising the Cast and Crew
Ruth also praised the film’s cast and crew, expressing confidence that her characters were in capable hands.
“I’ve said in acknowledgements before that it takes a village to make a book, but what I learned going on set for Cabin 10 is that it takes a whole town to make a film—it’s truly amazing seeing so many people working so hard on something you created,” she said.
“It’s a big leap of faith, like handing your baby over to strangers. But I feel Lo and company are in good hands.”
Anticipation Builds for the Netflix Release
With its suspenseful plot, all-star cast, and Ruth Ware’s endorsement, anticipation is mounting for The Woman in Cabin 10, set to hit Netflix in October.
Fans can expect a thrilling ride aboard a luxury yacht, where nothing is quite as it seems, and secrets lurk beneath the surface.f
