Her heavily pregnant co-star Anne Hathaway may have been absent for the star-studded Verity premiere in London on Thursday night. But Dakota Johnson still managed to make it a red carpet to remember as she turned heads in a sheer white lace dress that revealed her underwear. The actress, 36, left little to the imagination in the racy number as she posed at the Curzon Mayfair in central London with her co-star Josh Hartnett. Hathaway, 43, will imminently be welcoming her third child with her husband Adam Shulman and was seen out in New York on Monday where she displayed her bump. She stars as the bestselling author Verity Crawford in the film adaptation of Colleen Hoover's novel, while Johnson plays Lowen Ashleigh – a struggling writer hired to complete the remaining books in Verity's successful series after a mysterious accident leaves her debilitated. By Johnson's side on the red carpet Hartnett - who plays Verity's devoted husband Jeremy Crawford - looked dapper in a black suit. Hathaway looked ready to pop on a rare public outing with her entire family on Monday.

The A-lister, who announced she was expecting back in June, showcased her growing baby bump on a leisurely stroll in NYC. She was joined by 45-year-old actor husband Adam and their two sons Jonathan, 10, and Jack, six. Hathaway and Shulman, who tied the knot in 2012, looked every bit the attentive parents as they each held hands with one of their kids and each other. Verity was adapted for the screen by Nick Antosca and directed by Michael Showalter. It follows Ashleigh, a down-on-her-luck writer who gets an unexpected lifeline with a dream offer.

Crawford (Hathaway) is a successful thriller writer, but after a mysterious accident leaves her debilitated, her husband Jeremy (Hartnett) enlists Lowen to ghostwrite her final books. Once Lowen begins work at the couple's opulent estate, she discovers an unfinished manuscript that threatens to reveal dark secrets about Verity and her husband's pasts. The young writer is forced to continue her work for Jeremy while trying to determine if the writings are merely fiction, or a disturbing warning from a dangerous woman. Verity will be released in cinemas on October 2.

Hathaway's fans recently dubbed her the 'enemy of unemployment', after announcing another movie role after already starring in five films this year. She revealed earlier this month that she will appear alongside Tom Cruise in Days of Thunder 2, due in theaters summer 2028. This year, Hathaway has had multiple blockbuster performances, starring in Mother Mary, The Devil Wears Prada 2, The Odyssey and The End of Oak Street as well as Verity. She was amid the press tour for The Devil Wears Prada 2 in June when she confirmed her surprise third pregnancy.

Hathaway shared her happy news by giving fans a glimpse at her growing belly in an Instagram reel and attaching the Barbara Lewis song Baby, I'm Yours. Remarking on becoming pregnant in her 40s, she told Access Hollywood: 'There's always hope until there's not, but when you get to a certain age, that hope looks like one percent to two percent. 'So we just decided to see where life took us, with a very, very healthy, realistic expectation, which was very low. Hathaway shared: 'We're overjoyed because we just know from personal experience that not everybody gets this, and certainly not when you want it – sometimes not ever.'

'I know that not everybody who wants to be a parent gets to be. I'm just blown away by how fortunate I am,' the actress told People in April as she was named Most Beautiful Woman. 'It went really well for me twice, and that's really lucky,' she acknowledged about her prior pregnancies. Last month, Hathaway was subject to nasty online rumors that she was faking the pregnancy, after critics claimed the star's baby bump looked artificial during the LA premiere of The End of Oak Street. The brunette beauty clapped back on Instagram, writing: 'Fake hair, real bump. Enjoy The End Of Oak Street Block Party chaos with me as my outfit literally melts in the heat!!'
