Fearlessly opting to go braless, the Fifty Shades of Grey actress layered the little black dress with a long black blazer-style coat to combat the chilly night.
Adding a pop of color to her predominantly black-and-white ensemble, Rita wore long white socks adorned with baby pink bows and black kitten heels.
Her fingers were adorned with rings, her wrists with gold and silver cuff bangles, and she carried the night’s essentials in a stylish black bag.
