Pictured on the London set, Ellie could be seen wearing a low-cut sequin dress as she recreated the model’s iconic 30th birthday look.
It was styled after one of the novel’s main characters, Gloria Gilbert, in a vintage blue dress first worn by Britt Ekland at the 1974 premiere of The Man with the Golden Gun.
Recreating the same look, Ellie’s hair mirrored Kate’s frizzy blonde style she wore in 2004.
The actress’ ensemble was completed with a pair of gold pointed-toe heels and a matching clutch.
Director James Lucas is known for his Academy Award-winning live-action short film The Phone Call (starring Sally Hawkins and Jim Broadbent).
Speaking about the project, Kate said: “As this is such a personal story, it has been essential that I am involved with James in every aspect as the project develops.
“I’m excited about the recent casting and excited for the movie to start filming soon, I can’t wait to see it.”

Set in Lucian’s Holland Park studio and in London in the heady days of early 2000s Britain, the story opens to explore Lucian’s mysterious past and Kate’s life as a world-renowned supermodel.
At the peak of the supermodel era, Kate was already a global icon, but at a crossroads between her life and work, she agreed to sit for the acclaimed painter Lucian, who died in 2011 at age 88, during an arduous and intense nine-month period in his studio in Holland Park.
Although they come from seemingly different worlds and are often at odds, as their relationship develops, the two enigmatic personalities discover that they are soulmates with much to learn about each other and, as a result, themselves.
The process becomes cathartic and both are changed forever.
Kate redefined the face of fashion in the ’90s and subsequently became a global cultural icon, with a career spanning more than three decades.
She has appeared on the cover of every major fashion magazine in the world, including a record 40 covers for British Vogue.
Most recently, Kate was named creative director of Diet Coke; curating the vision and identity of the brand.
She founded Kate Moss Agency in 2016, a boutique agency representing some of London’s newest and most exciting talent.

Lucian was one of the most prominent artists of the 20th century. He is revered for his uncompromising figurative art and his subjects, who needed to make a very large and uncertain commitment to his time, were often the people in his life; friends, family, fellow painters, lovers or children.
His work sells for staggering amounts and his nude portrait of Kate Moss sold in 2005 for almost £4 million.
