Felicity Jones looked stylish on Sunday as she addressed the audience at a screening and Q&A about her new film, The Brutalist, at London’s Picturehouse Central.
The actress, 41, opted for an elegant, loose-fitting black blazer that she paired with simple blue jeans.
Her appearance comes after she wowed at a gala screening of her new film during the Savannah Film Festival earlier this month.
Felicity stunned in a strapless satin dress, which featured a matching belt and ruffled bodice.
Felicity completed her look with a pair of strappy gold heels and accessorized them with small hoop earrings.
She was honored with the Spotlight Award at the event presented to her following the screening.
The Brutalist, directed by Brady Corbet, is a post-war epic about a Holocaust survivor trying to rebuild a life in America.
Inspired by the book Architecture in Uniform by Jean-Louis Cohen, the film stars Adrien Brody as a Hungarian architect and Felicity playing his wife.
Spanning decades, The Brutalist tells the story of László Tóth and his attempts to pursue his art after the war in America.
Adrien plays Tóth. He lives in near poverty until a wealthy industrialist, Harrison Lee Van Buren (Guy Pearce), gives him a big contract. Joe and Alessandro Nivola also star.
The actress was joined at the film event by her co-stars and director Adrien Brody, Brady Corbet and Guy Pearce (LR).
The actor said it was a character and story for which he felt “an immediate kinship and understanding.”
Her mother, photographer Sylvia Plachy, was a Hungarian immigrant who fled in 1956 during the anti-Soviet revolution to restart and try to build a life as an artist.
Adrien said: ‘Even though it’s fiction, it seems very real and real to me. For me it is very important to embody a character and make it real.”
Director Brady Corbet said: ‘The film is about the physical manifestation of 20th century trauma. It is dedicated to the artists who failed to realize their vision.’

Brady Corbet directed the film and wrote the script with his wife Mona Fastvold, who is also a filmmaker (pictured: Adrien and Felicity Jones in the film)
Speaking at the Venice Film Festival last month, he added: “This film does everything they tell us we can’t do.”
“I’ve read great novellas, I’ve read great multi-volume masterpieces,” Corbet said.
‘Maybe the next thing I do is about 45 minutes, and they should let me do it. …As Harmony Korine once said, cinema is stuck in the birth canal. And I agree with him.’
