Oscar-nominated actress Naomie Harris glammed up for the premiere of Showtime’s 10-part sc-fi series, The Man Who Fell to Earth at the Museum of Modern Art in Manhattan’s Midtown neighborhood on Tuesday.
The British 45-year-old bared her arms in a light-green gown and gave her 5ft7in stature a big boost with white ankle-strap platform heels.
Naomie – whose only jewelry was a white wristwatch – had her raven locks coiffed into ombré twists divided by a middle part.
In the Big Apple! Oscar-nominated actress Naomie Harris glammed up for the premiere of Showtime’s The Man Who Fell to Earth at the Museum of Modern Art in Manhattan’s Midtown neighborhood on Tuesday
Harris let her natural beauty shine through with just a hint of foundation, blush, and gloss.
‘There has been so much love, so much passion, and such tremendous creativity and talent that’s been poured into it. And it’s really such a special show. It’s sci-fi, but sci-fi with heart and soul and amazing humor as well,’ the Independent Spirit Award winner gushed on the blue carpet.
‘So I prepared for the role of Justin in the way that I do for every role, which is actually in a very similar way to this. I imagine that I’m being interviewed. Someone’s asking me questions about my past life, my experiences growing up, what my favorite color is, what I eat for breakfast in the morning – all these kind of things.
‘And as I talk as the character, I slowly start to hear their voice. And then I start to feel them and from there I get their physicality and so on. And that’s how I start to embody the character.’

‘From there I get their physicality and so on’: Naomie went on to describe how she gets into character for every project, staging a mock interview with her character until she ‘slowly starts to hear their voice’ and ‘feel them’
Naomie stars as struggling New Mexico mother Justin Falls, who offers to help an alien called Faraday (Chiwetel Ejiofor) save his dying planet, in the 10-episode sci-fi series premiering this Sunday.
Creators Alex Kurtzman and Jenny Lumet’s continuation is based on Walter Tevis’ 1964 sci-fi novel as well as Nicolas Roeg’s 1976 big-screen cult classic starring the late great David Bowie.
Harris was reportedly in a seven-year relationship with her co-star Chiwetel Ejiofor until 2007, but it must have ended amicably enough for them to work together.
But the 44-year-old Englishman – who scored an Oscar nod for his breakout role in 12 Years a Slave – was nowhere to be found as the cast and crew reunited for the premiere.
