Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson have appeared as their Fifty Shades of Grey characters for the first time, Digital Spy said.

The photoshoot from Entertainment Weekly shows Johnson in character as virginal college student Anastasia Steele, alongside Dornan as mysterious billionaire Christian Grey.

Dornan was cast last month to play Grey after Sons of Anarchy star Charlie Hunnam dropped out.

Sam Taylor-Wood is directing the adaptation of EL James's erotic bestseller, while Patrick Marber (Closer) and Mark Bomback (The Wolverine) have been enlisted to polish Kelly Marcel's script.

Fifty Shades of Grey has had its release date pushed back to Valentine's Day 2015.
