While often shamed for having short hair (even her dad doesn’t like it), Kate Mara‘s latest ensemble was out of this world — literally.

The actress joined her co-stars Kristen Wiig, Sebastian Stan, Mackenzie Davis, and Chiwetel Ejiofor at the premiere of their science-fiction film, “The Martian,” during the 2015 New York Film Festival held at Alice Tully Hall on September 27.

The 32-year-old actress stayed true to the movie’s theme in a short-sleeved black Cosmo dress from Valentino’s Pre-Fall 2015 collection. The fit-and-flare silhouette and multi-colored galactic embroidery made the dress a perfect fit for this event.

Kate kept her accessories to a minimum to allow the dress to stand out. She kept her short pixie cut plain and wore soft, dewy makeup to finish her look.

Kate clearly stepped up her fashion game following a disappointing red carpet appearance at the London premiere of the movie.
