How do you celebrate your parents’ 50th wedding anniversary? Traditionally, gold is given as a gift, but if you’re Anna Friel, dressing up as a superheroine is a must on the day.
The 46-year-old actress appeared in a metallic blue leotard and red cape, looking somewhere between Wonder Woman and Supergirl.
She wore a glamorous makeup palette consisting of a bronze base and a smoky blue eye look.
“Someone goes to a costume party,” says Anna, whose parents Desmond and Julie are both retired teachers.
She told her 212,000 Instagram followers: “It’s an honor to visit my parents before they leave for Australia to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. love you mommy and daddy
Wow! Anna Friel donned a metallic blue leotard and red cape as she transformed into Supergirl to celebrate her parents’ 50th wedding anniversary

Anna is known for roles in the British soap opera Brookside and the American comedy-drama Pushing Daisies.
The actress shares 17-year-old daughter Gracie with 59-year-old Harry Potter star David Thewlis, who she split from in 2010 after nearly a decade together.
It comes after her ex Toby Anstis claimed he could now marry her after she proposed to him in the 90s but said he lost out to love rat Darren Day.
The 51-year-old TV presenter revealed the Marcella star chatted to him at a party in the 90s and asked him out that night – but when he went out for drinks, Darren walked in and dated for three years her gone
And the hapless radio DJ claims that despite dating Cassie Bancroft a year ago, he is still single because Tinder has banned his profile and believes it is fake.
Toby said on the Diary of a Name Dropper podcast: “Even when I think about it, I’m still bitter about … Darren Day.”
The Hartdance host explained how he and Anna had a few drinks and “got on really well”.
He said: “I felt that there was a bit of chemistry, and then she asked me: ‘Aren’t you going back to London tonight?’ and I said, “Yeah, I’ll be on TV tomorrow afternoon and she said, “No, stay up tonight and leave in the morning.”
Terrified, Toby continued: “I just went to hell, I think all about Jesus Christ. what it meant, but I thought I’d stay awake.’
While Toby got the pair a drink, Darren drove to see Anna, whose “management spirit” the star believes will be a good publicity stunt.
When he returned he saw the couple interacting and “The next day they were all in the papers but she asked me to stay the night before you Darren.”
Although the couple had been together for three years and had become engaged, Toby still seemed a little annoyed.

Relationship: The actress and Darren then dated for three years and he even proposed before the couple finally went their separate ways (pictured in the 90s)
He added: “I could have married Anna Friel and she could have had my children.”
Anna later married David Thewlis, with whom she has one daughter, but divorced in 2010. She also married Notting Hill star Rhys Ifans in 2011, but the couple split in 2014.
Darren has also since found love with actress Stephanie Dooley, whom he married in 2010.
But Toby is still unhappy with his love life after being banned from dating app Tinder.
