She transforms back into a pauper at the stroke of twelve as the star of Cinderella. And Lily James slipped into midnight black while promoting her fairy tale film on the Late Show With David Letterman in New York.

The 25-year-old’s chic LBD exposed more than just her toned pins thanks to its backless feature, which dipped perilously close to her pert derriere. Lily’s flawless face glowed with light pink blush and ruby red lips, and she piled her sandy strands behind into a voluminous pony tail.
The actress kept the accessories to a bare minimum, allowing her frock’s silver neckline to steal the show. Completing her classic look were a pair of strappy black heels. The Cinderella star looked refreshed and revived as she mingled with fans, proving there was no slowing down Lily during her third promotional appearance of the day.
On top of her chat with David, Lily also dropped by AOL Studios and an event at SAKS Fifth Avenue, where she was accompanied by her co-star Richard Madden for both outings. The duo have been globe-trotting non-stop during their whirlwind promotional tour for the new movie, which will be released on March 13 in the U.S.
Lily has spoken candidly about how uncomfortable the corset built into her costume was, admitting that it restricted her digestion and made her burp in poor Richard’s face. She told E!: ‘You’d be eating on the move. In that case, I couldn’t untie the corset.

‘So if you ate food it didn’t really digest properly and I’d be burping all afternoon in Richard’s face, and it was just really sort of unpleasant.’ Having received positive reviews since its world premiere in Berlin on February 13, this version of Cinderella comes from Disney and incorporates many elements of the studio’s 1950 animated film.
The film, which will be released in the UK on March 27, also boasts a cast of Cate Blanchett and Helena Bonham Carter.
