Kirby Howell-Baptiste, Tom Sturridge & More Step Out For World Premiere of 'The Sandman'

Kirby Howell-Baptiste adds some drama with an accentuated Elizabethan-esque collar for the premiere of her new Netflix series, The Sandman, held at BFI Southbank on Wednesday (August 3) in London.

The 35-year-old actress joined many of her co-stars on the black carpet event including Tom Sturridge, Gwendoline Christie, Vanesu Samuny, Niamh Walsh, Donna Preston, Joely Richardson, Vivienne Acheampong, Ferdinand Kingsley, and Sanjeev Bhaskar.

Author of the book series, Neil Gaiman, and EP/creator Allan Heinberg were also spotted at the event.

The Sandman centers on Dream (Sturridge), who, upon escaping after decades of imprisonment by a mortal wizard, sets about to reclaim his lost equipment.

The series will debut on Friday, August 5 on Netflix.

FYI: Vivienne wore Valentino. Gwendoline wore Rick Owens.
