Costars Emily Blunt and Ewan McGregor teamed up in NYC last night for a screening of their independent film Salmon Fishing in the Yemen at the Crosby Street Hotel. They were joined by fellow actor Patricia Clarkson, who came out to lend her support to the project. Emily and Ewan premiered the film in LA on Monday, and today the feature rolls out to a nationwide audience. Emily paired perfect cat-eye makeup with a Naeem Khan dress and Chopard jewels for her West Coast appearance, but for her latest stop she went with another chic black and white look. Next month Emily returns to the big screen in a comedy, The Five-Year Engagement, sharing the spotlight with Jason Segel.

Ewan McGregor and Emily Blunt teamed up for the premiere of their film Salmon Fishing in the Yemen last night at the Directors Guild of America in Hollywood. Emily paired a tea-length Naeem Khan dress with Chopard jewels at the debut while Ewan suited up in Dolce & Gabbana. Her husband, John Krasinski, wasn't on hand to pose for pictures with her, but Ewan's wife Eve Mavrakis joined him on the red carpet for a few photos. Ewan and Emily costar in the new movie as a team tasked with bringing the sport of fishing to the middle of a sheik's Yemeni desert. The film, which comes from the screenwriter of Slumdog Millionaire and the director of Chocolat, opens this Friday. The feel-good story will be Emily's last big-screen foray until The Five-Year Engagement opposite Jason Segel. That comedy will give the actress the chance to show off her humorous side when it hits theaters this Spring.
