Like Anne Hathaway, who wore a sheer black lace midi dress paired elegantly with pointed-toe Christian Louboutin pumps, Michelle Monaghan delivered a head-turning transformation at the 28th American Cinematheque Awards, held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles.
With her lighter locks and smoky eye makeup, the actress embraced a bolder beauty direction that perfectly complemented her understated but chic ensemble.
