French star Olivier Martinez joined his sparkling fiancé Halle Berry, 46, at the Los Angeles premiere of Cloud Atlas, where the Monster's Ball actress stood out in a simple Dolce & Gabbana strapless dress, with minimal accessories to distract from her emerald engagement ring.

Cloud Atlas, co-directed by The Matrix masterminds Lana and Andy Wachowski and the German Heaven director Tom Tykwer (pictured below), tells a whimsical tale about interconnectedness: "An epic story of humankind in which the actions and consequences of our lives impact one another throughout the past, present, and future as one soul is shaped from a murderer into a savior and a single act of kindness ripples out for centuries to inspire a revolution," according to the studio. Adapted from the eponymous novel by David Mitchell, Cloud Atlas is ranked one of the most expensive independent films of all time, with an astonishing $102 million budget.

The stunning couple and Cloud Atlas directors were joined at the premiere by co-stars Susan Sarandon (pictured below), Jim Broadbent and Tom Hanks, who was accompanied by his wife Rita Wilson. There to support the star-studded cast and crew was Wachowski fan and The Matrix lead Keanu Reeves, and The New Normal actress Georgia King. The film, which premiered for the first time in September at the 37th Toronto International Film Festival, received a standing ovation by audiences and critics.
