The London Film Festival opened on Wednesday with Amma Asante’s movie about race, class and love — set in the 1940s. In the mix was South Africa’s golden girl, Terry Pheto who looked nothing short of breathtaking!

Rocking her fresh new short hairdo and a dress that embodied the rich flavour of Africa‚ Terry flew the flag high yet again.

A United Kingdom is a movie that tells the love story of Botswana’s first president Seretse Khama and Ruth Williams‚ who is a London office employee who Seretse married. It stars David Oyelowo and Rosamund Pike.

It’s the first film by a black female director to open the 60-year-old festival — and a symbol of its commitment to encouraging diversity in the film industry.
