IntroductionSam Taylor-Johnson went from Back To Black to Retour au noir on Monday evening as the latest premier
Sam Taylor-Johnson went from Back To Black to Retour au noir on Monday evening as the latest premiere of her Amy Winehouse biopic got underway in Paris.
The director was on the red carpet with cast and crew - among them Marisa Abela, who plays Amy - outside the French capital's L'Olympia ahead of the divisive film's official screening.
And she gave social media followers an insight into her preparations for the main event in a series of Instagram posts, shared before she left her Paris hotel.
In one image, a selfie taken from her luxurious suite, Taylor-Johnson, 57, wears a terry-toweling hotel robe while her hair and make-up are fastidiously prepared ahead of her red carpet appearance.
A second find her ready for her close-up in a glamorous black evening gown as she twirls for the camera in the hotel corridor.

The director also shared a shot from the red carpet, taken alongside her actress daughter Angelica Jopling, 26.
Taylor-Johnson's promotional trip to Paris was rounded off with a trip to Boulevard Saint-Germain restaurant Brasserie Lipp, with the filmmaker sharing a snap of her menu.
Back To Black tells the life of late singer Winehouse, who tragically died from alcohol poisoning aged 27 in 2011.
The film, which has been endorsed by her father Mitch has drawn outrage from the singer's pals who slammed it for it's 'ghoulish' depictions of the star's drug addiction and also filming her funeral.
Now Tyler James, 42, who appears briefly on screen despite living with Amy from the age of 18 until her death, slammed the film, claiming it missed out huge chunks of the star's life.
He told The Sun: 'I wish Amy could have seen it. She'd be fuming. Amy deserved a lot better. She was a superstar.
'I was not expecting it to be realistic or completely accurate. But it was worse than I thought it would be. It was dreadful and does not do her justice'.
He also claimed that the script failed to show what a 'hilariously funny, and intelligent' person Amy was.

Tyler, who first met Amy aged 12 and is played briefly Spike Fearn in the film, said: 'I don't need to be there throughout a film to know what we meant to each other. I was there for her in real life and this is just a film'.
It comes after the biopic was slated by critics as a 'poor piece of filmmaking' and a 'Saturday-night impersonation' of the star.
Awarding the film just one star, the Evening Standard described Back To Black as a 'poor, poor piece of filmmaking' by reviewer Hamish Macbain.
He wrote: 'This is a film that does not paint a nice or fair picture of her as a human, nor get across how special an artist she was. The final scene, in particular, with its completely and utterly baseless, sensationalist implications, made me physically gasp in horror.'
The Daily Mail's Peter Hoskin also gave the movie one star and criticised filmmakers for rushing through key details of Amy's life.
