The cast of Mission Impossible 7 hit the Italian capital on Monday evening for the world premiere of their anticipated new installment.
Leading lady Hayley Atwell, 41, wowed in a slinky black dress as she joined her dapper co-star Tom Cruise and a stunning Vanessa Kirby on Rome’s famed Spanish Steps.
Hayley, who plays Grace in the new movie titled Dead Reckoning Part One, was the belle of the ball in her black backless number, with sparkling silver detail.
She cosied up to Tom, 60, who was looking sharp in a blue suit and shades as they posed for photos on the famous Rome monument, which had been decked out with a red carpet for the occasion.
It was the perfect setting for the world premiere as the final two Mission Impossible movies, which were shot back to back, were partly filmed in the Italian capital.

Dead Reckoning Part One is a long time coming as it had production halted a number of times due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
It was shot back-to-back with its direct sequel, Dead Reckoning Part Two.
The two films were initially reported to be the final chapters, as reported by several publications, including Screen Rant.
Along with the hype surrounding a new addition to the Mission Impossible franchise, the fans and media were also intrigued by rumors that co-stars Tom and Hayley had secretly dated during filming.
But Hayley efficiently silenced the rumblings as she spoke for the first time about her ‘close’ bond with Tom in an interview in the May-June issue of Country & Town House.
‘I felt like if I ever was worried about it, I could talk to him [Tom],’ the newly-engaged star said of the dating rumors.
‘And I know that he would’ve said, “People say whatever they want to say, but you know who you are, I know who I am and I want you to feel safe in this environment.”‘
