The Chicago-born performer was on typical sartorial form in her choice of black and white summer dress, which featured a below-the-knee hem and plunging neckline.
Also boasting a contrast collar and short sleeves, the retro style certainly suited the blonde beauty, whose acting credits include The Last King Of Scotland and Princess Mononoke.
She matched the look with a pair of nude cork wedges and a silver handbag.

The critically acclaimed performer, who also won plaudits for her performance in The Old Vic's Streetcar Named Desire, was alone as she left the famous venue, which was welcomed a host of stars including Kylie Minogue, Sean Penn, Kate Beckinsale and Rita Ora.
Her appearance in London means she's currently jetting back and forth between the UK and Canada, where she is currently filming the X Files revival with David Duchovny.
Production on the highly-anticipated miniseries began two weeks ago in Vancouver, and it should continue through August 22.

In the meantime, Gillian plays Lecter's psychotherapist Dr. Bedelia Du Maurier on the third season of Hannibal, airing Thursdays on NBC.
The two-time SAG Award winner is likely disappointed that the network canceled Hannibal on Monday, but at least BBC Two renewed her other show The Fall for a third season.
