In 1993, she made her theatrical film debut with a role in Kenneth Branagh's adaptation Much Ado About Nothing whilst studying at the University of Oxford. She played leading roles in numerous British costume dramas such as Prince of Jutland (1994), Cold Comfort Farm (1995) and Emma (1996). She also starred in Pearl Harbor (2001) and Serendipity (2001).

A starring role as Selene in the Underworld film series (2003–2016) propelled Beckinsale into action movies and starring roles in bigger budget films.
