Andrew Scott looked typically handsome on Wednesday, as he attended the premiere of his new series, Ripley, in Los Angeles.
The actor, 47, beamed as he posed with his co-star Dakota Fanning, after receiving rave reviews for his performance in the show.

The Irish star looked dapper in an olive green suit, teamed with a white vest and black leather loafers.
While, Dakota, 30, dazzled in an ethereal white gown, with an asymmetrical neckline and floaty layered skirt.

The actress stars in Ripley as wealthy socialite, Marge Sherwood, famously played by Gwyneth Paltrow in the 1999 film.
Ripley was released on Netflix on Thursday and the first reviews have flooded in, with critics praising the ‘work of art’ visuals and Andrew’s stellar performance.
The eight-episode series is the latest adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s 1955 crime novel, which inspired an entire genre of psychological thrillers.
Alongside Andrew and Dakota, the cast also boasts appearance from Johnny Flynn, Elliot Sumner, Maurizio Lombardi, Margherita Buy, and John Malkovich.
Set in the 1960s, it follows calculating grifter Tom Ripley as he is hired by the wealthy Herbert Greenleaf to travel to Italy in a last ditch bid to convince his wayward, jazz loving son Dickie to return home.
There, he is introduced to a life of wealth and privilege beyond his wildest dreams and endeavours to finagle his way into the comfortable lives of Dickie and his immediate circle of friends and lovers – with inevitably murderous consequences.
The Daily Mail’s Christopher Stevens gave the series a five star review, as did The Guardian, saying: ‘There is magic at work here.’
Andrew’s performance received the most attention, with The Times writing: ‘Scott, as you would expect, is outstanding — mesmeric as the polite, clever but ruthless psychopath.’

While the Evening Standard declared: ‘Andrew Scott is a magnificent Tom Ripley, inhabiting that compellingly ambivalently malevolent outsider character so well.’
Andrew admitted Ripley was ‘a heavy part to play,’ telling Vanity Fair that he ‘found it mentally and physically really hard. That’s just the truth of it’.
‘I feel like you’re required to love and advocate for your characters, and your job is to go, “Why? What’s that?” You don’t play the opinions, the previous attitudes that people might have about Tom Ripley.
‘You have to throw all those out, try not to listen to them, and go, “Okay, well, I have to have the courage to create our own version and my own understanding of the character.”‘
Ripley is available to steam on Netflix now.
