Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson get up-close and personal at Fifty Shades of Grey premiere
IT'S one of the most hotly-anticipated movies of the year and today marks the first fan screening of Fifty Shades of Grey.
Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson attended the Fifty Shades of Grey premiere this afternoon
The two leading cast members Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson wore matching black and white outfits for the event in New York this afternoon.
The pair - who star as Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele - looked thrilled to finally be showing fans the movie in the US.
Interestingly, Dakota went for a rather raunchy outfit, perhaps trying to shed the image of dowdy Ana, wearing a leather pencil skirt.
The pair looked seriously hot as they posed on the black carpet
Jamie wore a dapper suit with an open neck shirt
The actress paired the fitted skirt with a furry top and lashings of red lipstick. Putting her arm around her co-star, Dakota and Jamie are clearly good friends.
Irish-born Jamie looked dapper in a black suit and open neck shirt, flaunting a full beard.
In the movie he is clean shaven, so as to keep in character with Christian Grey, but the actor is well-known for having a full, bushy beard.

The movie's director Sam Taylor-Johnson and her husband Aaron looked loved-up
Sam Taylor-Johnson, who directed the movie, and her husband Aaron also posed at the fan-based premiere.
Looking stylish and loved-up, the couple seemed thrilled to finally be showing the hardcore fans the movie.
Aaron, Sam's actor husband, is said to have a bit-part in the BDSM-based flick.
The screening wouldn't have been complete without an appearance from E.L. James - author of the novel and brainchild of the now infamous Christian Grey.

E. L. James - the author of the book - looked smart in a black coat
Taking a glamorous yet casual turn on the red carpet, Erika wore a smart black jacket and a red scarf.
Lining the black 'red carpet', there were bouquets of red roses and the word 'curious' painted onto the backdrop.
The movie will be released in the UK on February 13, Friday next week.
