The actress wore a black strapless Monse dress from the brand’s Spring 2016 collection, pairing its unconventional shirt-inspired silhouette with black Jimmy Choo “Lucy” ankle-strap pumps.

While the dress divided opinion at the time, the sharply cut d’Orsay heels gave the look a cleaner, more balanced finish on the red carpet.
