Ruth Wilson and Hayley Atwell attended the Emporio Armani "Noir" show and Black Party at Milan Fashion Week (via Ruth Wilson - the placeholder blog). Getty and WireImage have pictures of Ruth and Hayley arriving for the show; and Moda è Donna has a picture from the party. Ruth and Hayley have also been featured in an article from WWD:

"Hayley Atwell said she hoped the release of summer blockbuster “Captain America,” in which she plays the superhero’s girlfriend, would bring more opportunities in film and fashion. “I would love to do a campaign,” she enthused. “Designing would be amazing as well.” She declined to comment on rumors she is joining Baz Luhrmann’s planned 3D remake of “The Great Gatsby,” featuring Leonardo DiCaprio in the title role. “That would be incredible. I know that the script is being worked on at the moment so it’s in the very early stages,” Atwell said.
Ruth Wilson, meanwhile, said she’s set to play the title role of “Anna Christie” opposite Jude law at London’s Donmar Theater, with rehearsals starting in June."

Rosamund's Made in Dagenham co-star Andrea Riseborough stars as Rose in Brighton Rock, which will be released in the UK 4 February. Andrea has been interviewed in the Dazed & Confused February 2011 issue (via The Fashion Spot) and the Independent. In other publicity, an excerpt about her from the Telegraph's set visit:

"'I was so passionate about Brighton Rock from the outset,' she says. 'So I decided not to do a different film and had a bit of a rejig of my schedule and swapped round. It was wonderful and it all worked out brilliantly.'
'Andrea inhabits a role completely,' Joffe [Rowan Joffe, director] observes, 'and that's quite a dangerous and difficult process – to really lose yourself in a character, especially one as dark and victimised as Rose. But as well as being a great actress, Andrea’s a solid Geordie lass who has both feet on the ground.'"

For such an unhappy man, he marries amazing women. Did you have a hand in casting?

I was auditioning these women, and they said, "Oh, yeah, there's this woman Rosamund Pike we're thinking about," and I said, "What do you mean, 'Oh, yeah, there's this woman'? Just cast her!" I have a mad crush on her and have been weirdly obsessed with her for 10 years since I saw her in James Bond ("Die Another Day"). I've gone to England to see her plays. I don't have this thing where I'm dying to work with a lot of people, but she's one of them.
