Dame Helen Mirren stunned shoppers in a London supermarket after popping in to buy a snack on her way home from a glamorous awards bash.

The Queen star attended the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) TV Awards in the U.K. capital on Sunday night (26Apr09).

But the fancy food at the event's afterparty didn't tempt the actress - who instead went to buy a quiche from a nearby store while decked out in her designer ball gown.

She says, "I didn't really fancy the dinner and hadn't had time to get some bits before we came."

The actress is back on the big screen with the release of political thriller State of Play, which sees her team up with Russell Crowe and Ben Affleck.

The film, which is based on the BBC hit show, is currently top of the UK box office. Mirren attended the awards ceremony on Sunday night to present the lifetime achievement award to Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders.
