The then-34-year-old actress from The Social Network enjoys blending feminine and masculine styles in her outfits. She went for this edgy, girly look for Saturday’s charity gala.

Rashida Jones embraced her feminine side in a light, ethereal Marchesa dress, complemented by sparkling diamond earrings and a glittering diamond cuff bracelet.

To add an edgy contrast—and subtly boost her petite 5-foot-2¼ frame—she layered on a cropped black 7 For All Mankind leather jacket and slipped into leg-lengthening black suede Sergio Rossi peep-toe pumps, finishing the look with bold, blood-red lips.

I think the dress, the diamonds, and the heels are already perfect enough to wear to a charity gala like this. But throwing on a leather jacket over this outfit is a MUST for someone like Rashida Jones, who needs to show her style in anything she wears.
