Lucy Liu made a striking appearance at the London screening of her upcoming holiday movie Red One on Wednesday, leaving everyone in awe with her stunning look. At 55, the actress radiated elegance and confidence in an all-black ensemble that highlighted her fit physique and long, toned legs.
Liu’s outfit included high-waisted tailored shorts, which she paired with towering black heels and sheer tights, creating the illusion of never-ending legs. She wore a fitted tuxedo jacket over a shiny corset-style top, which featured a high collar and a delicate fishnet overlay. The outfit was not only fashionable but also revealed Liu’s ability to turn heads effortlessly.
This glamorous look was just one of her head-turning outfits of the day. Liu also wore a bold red jumpsuit for a photocall at Potters Fields Park, where she was joined by co-stars Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Chris Evans. The festive jumpsuit had bow detailing at the neckline, a belted waist, and wide-legged pants, making it the perfect choice for a holiday season film. Her sleek, raven hair added a striking contrast against the vibrant color of her outfit, enhancing her festive appearance.
In Red One, Liu plays Zoe Harlow, the North Pole’s spy chief, who leads an effort to track down Santa Claus after he is kidnapped. The film’s synopsis reveals an action-packed adventure where the North Pole’s Head of Security (played by Dwayne Johnson) teams up with an infamous bounty hunter (played by Chris Evans) to save Christmas.

The movie also features a star-studded cast, including Kiernan Shipka, Nick Kroll, and Bonnie Hunt. Liu’s role is sure to capture audiences’ attention, as she plays a vital character in this high-energy holiday film.
When she’s not in the spotlight, Liu is a proud single mother to her nine-year-old son, Rockwell. She welcomed Rockwell through a gestational surrogate in 2015, sharing the news on Instagram with a heartfelt post: “Introducing the new little man in my life, my son Rockwell Lloyd Liu.”
In 2016, she opened up about her decision to use a surrogate, explaining that her busy career made it the right choice for her. “I didn’t know when I was going to be able to stop working,” she said, adding that the decision turned out to be “great.” Liu also shared the joys of motherhood, describing the early stages of raising a child as a “magical experience,” where a baby grows from a little lump to a smiling, interacting little one.

Reflecting on her experience as a parent, Liu admitted that she didn’t overthink the surrogacy process. She didn’t research extensively or read books on parenting. Instead, she chose to “figure it out” once her son was born. Despite not following traditional parenting paths, Liu emphasized that her son never felt deprived in any way.
Liu’s candid reflections on her journey as a single mother highlight her strong, independent spirit. She’s shown that, whether on the big screen or in her personal life, she is all about embracing her own path and making it work.
