Holliday Grainger looked as chic as ever on Tuesday as she attended a photocall for BBC drama The Capture season two.

The actress, 34, cut a very elegant figure in a black high-necked maxi dress embellished with white stars.

She added a belt to cinch her slender waist and upped her height in a pair of blue and brown heels.

Holliday – who will reprise her role as DCI Rachel Carey on the series – accessorised with a pair of gold hoop earrings.

Her fiery red locks were tied in a neat bun with several strands let down to frame her face.

She completed her look by opting for a light makeup palette, including a touch of blush and a touch of pink lipstick.

The 48-year-old actress teamed it with a black lace blouse and a pair of matching black ballet flats.

They posed for a photo alongside the rest of the cast – Chris Corrigan, Tessa Wong, Ben Miles and Joesph Arkley.

According to the BBC, Holliday’s character Rachel finds herself “in the middle of a new conspiracy – with a new target” in the second series.

Written and directed by Bafta-winning filmmaker Ben Chanan, The Capture, the new six-part season of six-part drama, builds on the success of the first series, which aired in 2019.

It told the story of soldier Shaun Emery, played by Callum Turner, who was released from prison after a murder conviction in Afghanistan was overturned due to flawed video evidence.

He was then falsely accused again and the video evidence was not quite what it seemed.

In 2020, The Mail on Sunday revealed that work on the second season of the hit drama had been put on hold due to Holliday’s pregnancy.

The actress welcomed twins with actor boyfriend Harry Treadaway, 37, last year. Harry is also a twin himself with actor brother Luke.

The star of TV hits Strike and The Capture once said that “the thought of being recognized on the street is petrifying,” and she and Harry stay out of the spotlight.

They don’t use social media, rarely talk about their six-year relationship and have not released any details about their twins, who are believed to have been born last spring.

Holliday recently wrapped filming on Troubled Blood – the latest series in the recurring TV drama based on the Strike book series.

The second Capture series will be broadcast on BBC1 later this month.
