The popular performer walked the red carpet alone, but oozed confidence in her extravagant retro ensemble.
She looked simply stunning in a gold patterned dress that tied in a burgundy floral design to create an ornate, vintage-style image.
Wearing her hair in a simple side-parting, she kept her make-up to a classic nude effect, which afforded her a classy finish.

Posing up a storm among Hollywood's finest including Guy Ritchie and Tom Hiddlestone on the night, the 29 year-old appeared more mature than her years.
The sighting comes just days after Jenna confirmed her departure from Doctor Who during an interview with Nick Grimshaw on Radio 1.
During the exchange she also revealed she will be taking on the lead role in new ITV period drama, Victoria.

She confessed it had been 'emotional' leaving both the BBC One programme and her co-star Peter Capaldi, who took over from Matt Smith as the titular Doctor last year.
Discussing her exit, Jenna explained: 'It's been in the works for a very long time. [Show boss] Steven [Moffat] and I sat down a year and a half ago and tried to work out the best place to do it and tell a really good story.
She confirmed her exit would happen before the upcoming series wrapped, and is widely rumoured to be leaving during episode 10 of the 12 series run.
'We're not going to give any details but it will happen at some point this season... We worked out a really good story arc out so hopefully people will love it.'

The model looked exquisite, as always, dressed simply yet elegantly in a floaty cream dress, while 47-year-old Guy was sharp in a navy blue suit and bow tie.
