He’s a rising star with a string of impressive movie credits to his name, but while fans clamoured to get a glimpse of Sam Claflin on Monday evening, the man in question only had eyes for one very special lady.
Indeed, the British actor was attending the world premiere of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire in London’s Leicester Square with wife Laura Haddock – and the pair couldn’t keep their hands off each other as the night progressed with an after-party at the Royal Courts Of Justice.
While the night belonged to leading lady Jennifer Lawrence, her thunder was stolen to a considerable degree by Laura, who looked stunning in an off-white gown from designer Sophia Kah.

Smitten: Sam Claflin and wife Laura Haddock
attend The Hunger Games: Catching Fire after-party at the Royal Courts
Of Justice in London on Monday evening
Posing for photos alongside her smitten husband, the 28-year-old actress cut an elegant figure in her sweeping dress thanks, in part, to its figure hugging design and tasteful embellished detail.
The look was clearly sold on Sam, who kept an arm coiled around his wife’s slender waist as they made their way towards the Odeon ahead of the film’s first official screening.
At one point the 27-year-old swept Laura off her feet – both figuratively and literally – and she squealed in delight as he gently lifted her off the red carpet on a wet and windy night in the capital.

Work winter whites like Laura to have your own red carpet moment
We have serious couple crush on Sam Claflin
and Laura Haddock after their loved-up display at The Hunger Games
premiere last night. It isn't surprising that Sam couldn't take his eyes
off Laura in her gorgeous gown, and once we stopped staring at them
both long enough to recognise how amazing she did look, we fell in love
all over again.
Laura's lace back dress is by Sophia Kah, a couture eveningwear brand designed by Ana Sousa. Although the label was only founded three years ago, it has already enjoyed success with celebrity clients such as Zoe Hardman, Laura Whitmore and Florence Welch.

Whilst white maxi dresses can have the tendency to be somewhat bridal, the pretty black lace overlay and open back steers this clear of that. What's more, winter white is a super hot trend right now, and is the perfect choice for your next occasion.
To try the trend à la Laura, look no further than our edit below, where you can bring sexy back in a white lace number, or have a monochrome moment in Jessica Wright at Lipsy.
Although her gallant husband Sam picked her up, Laura's dress did get dirty from all the rain - so be sure to avoid any pesky puddles when wearing your yours. Then sweep your hair up as Laura has to really let the dress do all the talking and you're ready for your red carpet moment!

...NOW GET ONE LIKE IT
Sam and Laura married in a private ceremony in July, two-years after they started dating, and judging by their tactile display the couple are clearly still enjoying the first flush of married life.
The actor plays Finnick Odair in the second instalment in The Hunger Games franchise, and he admits that bulking up for the role was a challenge.
Speaking to MailOnline on Monday night, he said: 'On the Finnick Odair scale of buff-ness from 1-10 I reckon I'm on a two.
I've got your back: Sam keeps a hand firmly

‘It was really nerve-wracking when I got the call as I wanted to do him (his character in the film) justice.'
Making their way to the premiere after-party at The Royal Courts of Justice later that night Sam was in an ebullient mood as he planted a loving kiss on Laura’s cheek, an arm still firmly coiled around her lower back.
Best known for her role as Alison in The Inbetweeners Movie, Laura dated former Coronation Street actor Richard Fleeshman before meeting Sam in 2011.
Rising star Sam has previously appeared in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and Snow White & The Huntsman.
