Minnie Driver appears to have put her terrifying car crash behind her as she made her first red carpet appearance at the Ebenezer: A Christmas Carol premiere on Monday.
The singer, 56, was left in a neck brace and said she was 'grateful to be alive' after the near-death experience in a Kia EV2 on a country road in France in August.
Now, Minnie looked better than ever as she flashed a smile for cameras while posing in a black minidress at the star-studded premiere in London.
The actress put on a leggy display in the plunging long-sleeved dress which she cinched in at the waist with a chunky belt.
She elevated her frame in a pair of towering heels and accessorised with a dazzling pair of drop earrings.
In the film Johnny Depp plays Charles Dickens's anti-hero Ebenezer Scrooge, a man on the fringes of society, forced to confront his misdeeds before emerging as a changed man.
It is his first big-budget film in four years following his 2022 US legal victory where a Virginia jury found his ex wife Amber liable for defamation.
The film, which will drop in cinemas on November 13, also stars Sir Ian McKellen as Marley, Rupert Grint as Bob Cratchit and Sam Claflin as Fred.

In August, Minnie shocked fans after she opened up about the accident, explaining another car failed to stop while driving at speed at an intersection, adding that the smash was 'not their fault'.
The star then showed a picture of the car wreckage and an image of herself walking out of the hospital with her friend.
Minnie said: 'I am actually back in London. I'm sorry about the filter I've put on this, but honestly without it, I just look appalling. Even the dog wouldn't look at me.
'I got into a really bad car accident a few days ago, with my friend Ben and we somehow walked out of it. Well we didn't walk out of it, we crawled out of it, but we did get out of it alive.'
Breaking down, she said: 'To be clear, it was not our fault. A car didn't stop at an intersection and was going at speed and we just T-boned it.
'I'm fine. I've got a sprained neck and I'm really in shock and cry all the time, but I'm going to heal.
'The reason that I'm not dead is the car that we were driving. We were in this tiny little Kia EV2. I've never been in a crash before, but the 360 degree airbags are what saved our lives.
She added: 'The fact that the entire car didn't concertina and crush us is down to the design of that car, which is frankly astonishing.

'This is categorically not a car ad. Can you imagine? I want to celebrate that car. I'm a Mini driver. Pun intended. I need to celebrate the car that saved us. We've got families and people that love us. And I am so grateful to be alive.
'So Kia, you are a baller car company. You're amazing. And thanks very much from me and my mate Ben Homewood. And my family and the people who love me.'
She wrote in the comments: 'Shout out to the van driver who stopped and helped us before the ambulances arrived.
'Special mention to the car who slowed down, took in the scene and drove off without stopping. I guess this is the Dao of the world, the light and the dark.
'My brain keeps replaying the crash which is very hard but seems to be a necessary part of processing.
'Weeping too, feels good and helpful. Thank you to my friends, my family, all the people at work and especially my friend Ben and his family. I love you.'
