While Beckinsale looked effortlessly
trendy on the photocall, she admitted in a up to date interview that she
hasn’t always been so style conscious.

She told Style magazine: ‘I did struggle through a period of looking quite unfortunate. I wore men’s pyjama trousers and my brother’s jumper and that i cut my very own hair.

‘I felt like a nubile 17-year-old,
and that made me feel vulnerable, as though I had something to give protection to, so I
tried to subvert that.’

Beckinsale returns as vampire Selene inside the latest offering within the franchise, Underworld: Awakening.

And the inclusion of the lovely brunette is not any doubt the foremost reason that the fourth film within the franchise topped the usa box office on its opening weekend.

The film took $25.3million, while last week’s no 1 movie, the thriller Contraband, fell to 3rd place with just over $12million.

Talking about Beckinsale within the film, Rory Bruer, Sony’s president of globally distribution, said: ‘She is this kind of force. Her character – you simply can’t take your eyes off her.

‘I know the nature is particularly dear to her to boot, and he or she just kills it.’
