Real life couple Rooney Mara and Joaquin Phoenix braved the chilly weather in London to step out for a special screening of their new film Mary Magdalene.

Mara, 32, was the picture of elegance as she arrived at The National Gallery in a black jumpsuit with a ruffled top which left her shoulders bare, with her dark locks pulled back in a sleek knot.

Mara plays Mary Magdalene in the biblical drama while Phoenix, 43, stars as Jesus Christ.

She and Phoenix are thought to have been dating since 2016.
