The actress, who plays Maeve Harrigan, head of the Harrigan crime family, brought her usual dazzle and charm to the red carpet wearing the Jenny Packham Dulcet sequinned gown.
Jenny Packham, a long-time favourite of the Princess of Wales, has built her reputation on eveningwear that celebrates embellishment, so perhaps it was inevitable that the sequins wouldn't be the end of the story. Rhinestones across the shoulders created an almost armour-like effect. It could have felt excessive, yet on Helen it only added to the sense of occasion.
A silver-metal Tyler Ellis Perry clutch and an updo, which showed off her Anabela Chan earrings, completed her look.

Before Olivia Rodrigo built Daisy Chain Fields Festival around several generations of women in music, she had already spent nearly a decade gracing the red carpet. As of the past two years, the "The Cure" singer has turned to vintage looks from the likes of John Galliano-era Dior to Tom Ford-era Gucci to spring 2000 Versace, with newer Gucci and Saint Laurent looks keeping her style current with a mix of vintage designer duds.
While her performance style has a different approach — think heavy boots with baby-doll dresses — her red carpet style has a throughline of its own. Ahead, take a look at Olivia Rodrigo's red carpet style evolution since 2017.

Blake Lively has been awarded less than $410,000 (£320,000) in legal costs from Justin Baldoni.
The actor had requested $8.04 million (£6.07 million) following their It Ends with Us legal battle. A judge dubbed her request an "outrageously unreasonable demand".
In June, the Gossip Girl star filed a request to a federal judge asking that she be awarded the millions in legal fees and litigation costs following the dismissal of the defamation-related lawsuit brought against her by her It Ends with Us co-star and his production company, Wayfarer Studios.
Lively's lawyers argued that the work involved in defending the lawsuit was "comprehensive and necessary to achieve the complete win that was secured", adding that The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants star "has paid, and continues to pay" her legal bills.
Baldoni's lawyer, Bryan Freedman, noted at the time, "Lively's fee request is so over-inclusive that it sweeps in fees for researching her own liability for perjury arising from her California CRD claim and her Rule 11 motion for which the Court has already denied fees," TMZ reported.
Baldoni and his wife, Emily Baldoni, addressed the bitter legal battle in a video posted to social media soon after.

Tributes have poured in for Dolly Parton, the country singer, songwriter and actor, after her death aged 80.
News of her death was shared by her nephew on social media. "Dolly has lived in the light and is in the arms of Jesus," he said.
Earlier this year, Parton had canceled a Las Vegas residency over health issues.
"Our family and the team she has entrusted with her legacy will work diligently to ensure her spirit will live with us forever," the official family statement said. "Dolly was a farmer, just like her Daddy. He farmed the soil; she farmed songs and happiness."

Within the next few days, the Duke and ****** ss of Sussex and their two children will have departed California and become residents of the UK.
Since news broke of the move, there has been some confusion as to what British life for Harry and Meghan will look like - but a picture is emerging of the family's priorities.
Over the weekend, there was a deluge of stories about Meghan's return to acting with speculation she would have a role in the next series of The Gentlemen on Netflix, created by British director Guy Ritchie.
Talks are still said to be in the early stages and we understand filming for the third series of the show is imminent - but Netflix has made no comment on who will star, leaving the way open for a former working member of the royal family with an acting background to be cast.
The comedy is about a duke turned drug baron and is mostly filmed in the Cotswolds.

Taylor Swift is mourning the death of her former Nashville neighbor, Hayden Panettiere.
Swift and Panettiere reportedly had a friendly relationship while both lived at the Adelicia apartment complex in Nashville. According to a source who spoke with Page Six, Swift was "deeply saddened" when she learned of Panettiere's death at age 36.
"Taylor and Hayden were always friendly with each other and had a really nice rapport," the source told Page Six. The pair reportedly crossed paths from time to time while living in the same building.
Swift purchased a penthouse at the Nashville complex in 2009, while Panettiere moved there in 2012 after relocating to Tennessee to film Nashville, the ABC drama in which she played country singer Juliette Barnes.

Hayden Panettiere's final PETA ad has been released, just days after her sudden death. The campaign, filmed only two weeks before she passed away, shows the actor confined to a bathtub to protest marine parks like SeaWorld. The campaign video now stands as a lasting tribute to her animal rights advocacy. PETA shared the ad on August 18, confirming the shoot took place shortly before Panettiere died at age 36.
The PETA ad has Panettiere making an emotional plea for dolphins and orcas held in captivity. She speaks directly to viewers while lying in a bathtub, visually representing the cramped tanks marine mammals endure at entertainment parks. "Can you imagine their frustration, their trauma, their depression? All that is important and crucial for their well-being is ripped away … We can end this. You and me," Panettiere says in the clip.
She continues describing what ocean life offers these animals: family bonds, deep dives to escape heat, and rain on their backs. All of that disappears when they are placed in small tanks. The campaign also includes a photo ad featuring Panettiere in the bathtub. Behind-the-scenes from that shoot are also featured in the released video.
PETA accompanied the video with a statement honoring her commitment. "Hayden Panettiere became a household name playing a hero on TV, but in real life she was a hero to animals," the organization wrote. They urged supporters to honor her memory by refusing to buy tickets to marine parks.
Panettiere's father, Skip Panettiere, confirmed his daughter's passing on Sunday. Authorities reported no signs of foul play. The actor left behind a career spanning television, film, and video games, along with a legacy of vocal animal advocacy that this final PETA ad now preserves.

Prince William and Kate Middleton apparently faced a difficult moment after King Charles met Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. In fact, it is speculated that the private reunion has reopened old tensions within the Royal Family. According to royal sources, the development may have even prompted serious discussions behind the scenes. Now, a crisis management expert has offered a different perspective on what the reported talks could have involved.
Prince William and Kate Middleton are said to have been upset after King Charles held a private meeting with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle at Highgrove House. The reunion reportedly lasted only a few hours, but its impact may have been far greater.
Royal expert Emily Andrews described the reaction as one of feeling "betrayed and possibly even humiliated." Her comments, published by Woman & Home, suggested the meeting may have been particularly difficult for the Waleses given the history between the two brothers.
Harry and Markle stepped away from royal duties in 2020 and later discussed their experiences with the Royal Family publicly. William and Harry have remained estranged, with recent reports indicating there has been no movement toward a reconciliation between the brothers.
Meanwhile, Charles has appeared more open to maintaining a relationship with his younger son and grandchildren. The Highgrove meeting reportedly included Markle and the couple's children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. It marked a significant family moment, even though no reconciliation between Harry and William was reported.
