Earlier this year she was voted as one of the best-dressed stars by Vanity Fair.

And Jessica Chastain was not hailed for being fashion-forwardness or breaking boundaries, but for her eternal elegance.

The Help star once again got it spot on in a simple but very chic ensemble as she stepped out in Los Angeles on Sunday.

The actress was promoting her hotly anticipated movie Zero Dark Thirty and attended a Q&A session.

She looked stunning in a taupe satin dress by Marios Schwab which she wore under an androgynous oversize black pea coat by Belstaff.

While Jessica’s outfit was low-key much like her approach to stardom, she did show a hint of her wild side with the help of some fancy footwear.

The redhead recently confessed to Marie Claire magazine that she is ‘very shy when it comes to guys’.

She admits that her friend told her, ‘Now that you’re successful, you have to be more overt with men, you have to make it very clear that you’re interested, otherwise they won’t [approach you].’

And Jessica added: ‘I like to be wooed, but I’ve had to be more outwardly available, I guess.’
