She never puts a foot wrong when it comes to fashion.

And Ellie Bamber cut a typically chic figure at the New York premiere of Words Of War held at the Village East Cinema on Wednesday night.

The actress, 28, opted for a light grey skirt co-ord which highlighted her toned physique.

She boosted her height with pointed black heels and completed the outfit with an oversized matching jacket.

The beauty wore her blonde tresses in loose waves over her shoulders and sported a glowing make-up look. 

Words of War is an upcoming biographical drama film about the late Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya.

Directed by James Strong, it is set to star Maxine Peake as Politkovskaya, Jason Isaacs as her husband Alexander Politkovsky, and Ciarán Hinds as her Nobel Peace Prize-winning editor at the Novaya Gazeta, Dmitry Muratov.

Variety reported that Words of War is scheduled to be released in U.S. theaters starting on May 2, 2025.

Anna Politkovskaya was one of Russia’s most acclaimed journalists and a vocal critic of the Kremlin. She was murdered in 2006.

Ellie will also soon star in an upcoming Kate Moss biopic focusing on her now iconic collaboration with celebrated figurative painter Lucian Freud. 

Kate was 28-years old and well established as one of Britain’s most successful fashion models when Freud painted her in the ɴuᴅᴇ, an arduous nine-month project carried out at the artist’s Holland Park home in 2002. 

The painting would be sold privately for £3.5million some three years later, but its waif-like subject and her relationship with Freud will be reenacted for a wider audience in a forthcoming film.

Directed by James Lucas, the appropriately тιтled Moss & Freud will feature rising star Bamber as the supermodel in what could arguably be her most challenging role to date.

The task at hand is all the more daunting given she was handpicked by Kate, but those charting her career – including the supermodel, a self-confessed fan – will know the role is in safe hands.

Born in Surrey to investment banker father David and mother Zoe – who now works as her manager – Ellie developed a keen interest in acting from the age of 12 after being inspired by her drama teacher at Hawley Place School, now Hurst Lodge School, in Berkshire.

Mainstream success would soon follow, with the then 15-year-old starring alongside Cold Feet star Hermione Norris and Martin Clunes in 2012 miniseries A Mother’s Son.

It would be the first of many carefully chosen TV roles, with Ellie taking another small part in The Musketeers before emerging as a star in her own right with the lead in a 2018 adaptation of Les Misérables. 

The actress would play Cosette in an ensemble cast featuring Dominic West, David Oyelowo, Lily Collins and Derek Jacobi – who reunites with Ellie by playing the enigmatic Freud in her latest film. 

By then her personal life was winning as many headlines as her professional endeavors, with Ellie embarking on a relationship with Scottish actor Richard Madden in 2017. 

Richard had already established himself as a household name thanks to a prominent role as the ultimately doomed Robb Stark in HBO drama Game Of Thrones. 

It was inevitable that the spotlight would intensify as Ellie made sporadic public appearances with the actor during an 18-month romance, during which he enjoyed further success in BBC drama Bodyguard.

By January 2019 her relationship with Richard was over after the couple experienced a rocky patch during which they ‘argued every day’.

A source told The Sun: ‘They were arguing almost daily towards the end and, despite considering couples’ therapy, it became evident there were far too many issues that could not be fixed. 

‘Richard is the toast of Hollywood at the moment, and understandably wants to let his hair down.

‘Ellie is a bit quieter, and wants to focus purely on her work. It felt like their day-to-day lives were increasingly becoming worlds apart.’
