With the chilly weather in mind Jennifer kept her red coat on as she signed autographs for fans at the event, eventually peeling it off to reveal a sweeping backless dress from Christian Dior.
Its intricate design included a multi-coloured beaded pattern, while its sleeveless upper half was comparatively plain - despite the exposed back revealing the absence of a bra.
Not impressed: Jennifer Lawrence said that she was 'disgusted' that sex sells but stopped short of naming Miley
Unfortunately for Jennifer its generous cut did little to accentuate her youthful figure, while the embellished pattern resembled the messy aftermath of an explosion in a Smarties factory.
The actress completed her look with a pair of conventional blue heels, and she put them to good use by sashaying across the red carpet for a brief interview with host Edith Bowman - during which she thanked fans for braving the cold weather.
Hundreds had camped overnight in Leicester Square and they were were present on a wet and windy night in the capital to catch sight of the cast.

She said: 'It's really exciting, we don't see a lot of females in positions like this hero part that Katniss (Everdeen) is.'
But she said her fellow cast members had not been overwhelmed by her Oscar and saw it as a way to tease her, adding: 'No, not at all, no. If anything, it made me a target.'
Turning heads: Jennifer with her costars Elizabeth Banks, Jena Malone, Willow Shield and producer Nina Jacobson

Speaking about being a role model, she said: 'I don't think you make a decision to be a role model. I didn't set out to be one at all. It's something that just happens when you're in the spotlight you just have to look at what you want the younger generation to hear.
'I think Katniss is a very good role model, she's strong and not afraid to stand up for what's right.'
Josh Hutcherson, who was also in attendance, agreed: 'No, not at all, we were not awed at all. First of all, because we expected it so much because she's so brilliant.
'But on top of that, she's our friend. We were so happy for her and congratulatory, but it was right back to work. We didn't really have time to get shocked and awed at all.'

Also nn attendance were Liam Hemsworth and Elizabeth Banks, who turned heads in a zesty yellow gown.
Indeed, leading lady Jennifer appeared to have been upstaged by her co-star - whose distinctive dress color perfectly matched her flaxen hair and pale skin tone.
The actress's outfit was all the more eye-catching thanks to the two open panels on either side of her waist, while her bold use of make-up gave her look an added splash of colour.
