Thankfully for the actress, dashing actor Idris Elba came to the rescue, standing beside her as he helped her remove her heel from the dress.

Sofia - who plays Jaylah in the movie - was eventually able to avert any possible disasters, smiling as she made her way down the customised white carpet like a true Hollywood star.

Sofia's dress featured a relatively high neckline with long sleeves, which would have given her quite the demure look were it not for her gown's sheer design, giving full view of her enviably lean legs.

With just 10 days to go before it hits screens, Star Trek Beyond released its latest high-adrenaline trailer on Monday.

The all-too-short 30-second spot will certainly whet the appetites of Trekkies already pumped up for the third blockbuster in the rebooted franchise.

Titled Unity, it's the third trailer released so far and gives another look at the deadly aliens that powered the two-and-a-half minute clip that appeared in May.

It's intercut with rapid-fire glimpses of cities exploding and space ships crashing, all stunningly rendered.

However, it also shows the more human side of Captain Kirk, played by Chris Pine, and his closest crew. 

In the opening seconds he walks with Dr McCoy (Karl Urban) talking excitedly about their new mission, saying: 'Can you imagine what we'll find?'

McCoy, aka Bones, deadpans prophetically: 'Aliens hell bent on killing us.' 'That's the spirit, Bones,' Kirk replies.

In another brief respite from the maelstrom Kirk tells Zachary Quinto's Spock: 'I think we make a good team.' The logical Vulcan replies: 'I believe we do.'

And fans get a brief but satisfying interaction with the alien leader who tells Kirk: 'Unity is not your strength.'

He cracks back: 'I think you underestimate humanity.'

Meanwhile, the cast has been mourning the death of one of the movie's young stars.

Anton Yelchin, who played Chekov, was tragically killed at age 27 after he was crushed by his car in a freak accident Los Angeles last month.

Star Trek Beyond will be hitting cinemas nationwide on July 22.
