Mamma mia! Amanda Seyfried looking red hot at Red Riding Hood premiere in LBD - which should cheer Ryan Phillipe up...

By JODY THOMPSON

Dark and lovely: Amanda Seyfried was wearing a teeny LBD at the European premiere of Red Riding Hood tonight in London's Leicester Square


She was last seen looking rather miserable with equally downcast boyfriend Ryan Phillippe in Paris, the city of romance - but Amanda Seryfried was all smiles tonight as she launched her latest movie in London.

The Mamma Mia star, 25, was looking stunning in a short and tight black minidress and black peep toe heels on the suitably red carpet for the launch of her new movie Red Riding Hood.

However, there was no sign of her beau Ryan Phillipe, 36, to see the transformation of his sweetheart at the London Leicester Square premiere.

Other stars at the European premiere of the movie included EastEnders star Charlie Brooks - aka evil Janine Butcher - and Jenny Falconer.

Amanda plays Valerie in the film, which is loosely based on the fairytale of the same name.

The film however takes an altogether darker, more gothic turn as if wolves disguising themselves as grandmothers and eating little girls whole wasn't quite scary enough.

It's set in a medieval village that is haunted by a werewolf where a young girl - Amanda's character Valerie - falls for an orphaned woodcutter, much to her family's displeasure.

She stars alongside Gary Oldman and the film also features Shiloh Fernandez, Julie Christie and Max Irons, 25, Jeremy Irons and Sinéad Cusack's son.

Amanda's boyfriend Ryan meanwhile is also currently in Europe as he promotes his new movie Lincoln Lawyer.

The pair have been together for six months after they were spotted together at Kate Hudson's Hallowe'en party.

However, their burgeoning romance was rocked by the news his ex-girlfriend Alexis Knapp is pregnant - possibly with his child following their brief fling last year.

Meanwhile, Phillippe is Seyfriend's first boyfriend since splitting from English actor Dominic Cooper after a rocky two-year romance.

Red Riding Hood meanwhile, which is directed by Twilight's Catherine Hardwicke, opens in the UK on April 15.
