Oscar-winner Jennifer Lawrence reveals she almost failed to make it to London for the premiere of her latest film. The actress – who returns as Katniss Everdeen in the second film to be adapted from the Suzanne Collins novels – said she made an emergency dash across the US to pick up her passport.

“It was miserable,” she added.

The Oscar-winner had to follow 12 hours behind the rest of the cast – who flew into the UK in style on a private jet.

The sequel to The Hunger Games is expected to be one of the year’s biggest blockbusters.

However, at the world première of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire on Monday night, it was Elizabeth Banks winning the red carpet fashion wars with her stunning yellow ballgown.

As Jennifer’s unusual backless tunic-style dress divided critics, Elizabeth went for traditional Hollywood style in a billowing Jason Wu Resort 2014 creation with cut-out sections highlighting her trim waist.

The mother-of-two, 39, brought some much colour to the soggy wet carpet on a dark and rainy night, which saw thousands of fans braving the cold for a glimpse of their idols at the Leicester Square premiere.

Elizabeth said: ‘Effie require a total transformation, we spent 3-4 hours everyday but it’s worth it. There’s no Effie without all that.

‘I love to disappear. I love to see her and not me on the screen.’

Singer Ellie Goulding continued the running theme on her red carpet attire at The Hunger Games: Catching Fire premiere on Monday in a black lacy dress that didn’t leave much to the imagination.
