Sons of Anarchy alum Charlie Hunnam donned a sleek black Lanvin suit selected by stylist Samantha McMillen for the Los Angeles premiere of his film Papillion on Sunday night.

And groomer Kim Verbeck tidied up the 38-year-old Englishman's burly beard he originally grew for Justin Kurzel's Australian western, The True History of the Kelly Gang.

Missing from the King Arthur heartthrob's side was his live-in love of 13 years - jewelry designer Morgana McNelis - whom he was last pictured with in Los Angeles on June 23.

'There are two distinct properties that exist. Historically, there's the source material. There's the biography of the man who existed. It's a real story about a real man in a real period of time.

'Of course, we had to be cognizant of that and had to be conscious and confident that we had our own vision and our own observation.  Like, cultural observation that we wanted to make and we both came into this being very, very interested in the modern prison system.'

Meanwhile, Malek looked dapper in another slim black suit over a handwriting-patterned button-up selected by stylist Ilaria Urbinati.

Missing from the Emmy winner's side was his rumored girlfriend, Lucy Boynton, who plays Freddie Mercury's muse Mary Austin in the upcoming Queen biopic, Bohemian Rhapsody.

Like Charlie and Rami, Papillon producer Joey McFarland - who scored an Oscar nod for The Wolf of Wall Street - also opted to skip a necktie in favor of an unbuttoned look with his purple gingham blazer.

Also there was the Spy Who Dumped Me stunner Mirjam Novak taking the plunge in a vampy black gown featuring peek-a-boo mesh paneling on the skirt.

The German 37-year-old - rocking a red lip and a partial updo - portrays an Irish nun in Papillion.
