Back in his film-making days, the legendary director, Alfred Hitchcock was synonymous with the leading ladies of his films, Grace Kelly, Ingrid Bergman, Kim Novak, Tippi Hedren and Janet Leigh – who became known as ‘Hitchcock blondes’.

Now the director’s career has been documented in a new movie biopic starring Anthony Hopkins and the blondes’ modern equivalents – Scarlett Johansson and Sienna Miller .

The latter did not attend the premiere of the film in New York last night, although newly-wed star Jessica Biel did.

Scarlett sparkled in an emerald and black with Gucci shoes and jewellery from Fred Leighton, while Jessica went for a red carpet trouser suit. The glittering grey ensemble was by Oscar de la Renta, which Jessica paired with Manolo Blahnik shoes.
