Style superhero! Selma Blair takes a fashion risk in a cape-like dress to watch Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong and Joan Jett rock out at Geezer premiere

There does not seem to be a go-to dress code for a red carpet that turns into a punk rock show, but this star did her best to hit a high note.

Selma Blair made a style statement at the premiere of her new film Geezer on Saturday night in New York.

The 43-year-old actress pushed the envelope in a dramatic look at the Tribeca Film Festival event.

While the rest of the premiere's attendees went for casual ensembles, the Cruel Intentions star stepped out in a striking creation by Christian Siriano.

Plucked from the designer's pre-Fall collection, the black dress wrapped around the star's physique perfectly.

Crossing across her bust, the over-the-knee length frock gave a glimpse of Selma's toned tum, making it both sexy and chic simultaneously.

But ensuring the look really demanded attention was its cape-like sleeves which perched on Selma's shoulders.

Have all eyes on you in a cutout cape dress like Selma's

The Tribeca Film Festival in NYC is still going strong and Selma Blair took her turn on the red carpet for the premiere of her new movie, Geezer. The American Crime Story star glammed it up in a Christian Siriano dress and Christian Louboutin patent leather pumps.

Pulled from the Pre-Fall 2016 collection, Selma's frock had a criss-cross neckline and and triangle cutout that exposed her flat abs. The midi length sheath also had a cape design and a figure flattering silhouette that highlighted the brunette beauty's enviable frame.

The lovely LBD ticks the box on so many trends right now - capes, cutouts, and tea length styles to be exact - so it's worth a second (or third) look. Sadly it's not yet available to purchase, but click right to shop the brand's current pieces at Neiman Marcus.

The sleeves gave a dramatic edge to the understated dress, which the star paired with pointed toe Christian Louboutin heels.

Allowing the dress to have its moment, Selma wore her raven hair locks swept up into a low bun so the design's back detail was not hidden.

The star also did not distract from the dress by introducing too much colour in her makeup, wearing just defined browns, exaggerated lashes and a glossy but natural looking shade on her lips.

Selma was certainly feeling her look on Saturday night, posting a snap of herself on the red carpet.

The star posted on Instagram: 'It's a shame to take it all off. But after #joanjett and @billiejoearmstrong do a duet at #geezerpremiere, well, the hair can come down and sleep can be had. '

But she was not the only one wearing a head turning look on the carpet - Joan Jett also made a statement.

The 57-year-old decided to free the nipple wearing a sheer black top with stars on it without a bra.

She paired the daring top with some classic rocker tight leather pants and boots.

The Cherry Bomb singer walked the carpet wearing a jacket which meant her bare chest was not completely exposed.

Big gig: Billie is the star of Geezer even though, until now, the 44-year-old punker's acting career has largely involved cameos

However, as soon as the film screening ended, Joan ditched the jacket to take the stage and wow the crowd with a duet with Billie Joe Armstrong.

The Green Day frontman is the star of Geezer in which he plays an aging punk rocker trying to strike a balance between his past and family life.

Selma plays his wife, who forgets his 40th birthday setting the wheels in motion for him to revisit his glory days.

While the 44-year-old punker's acting career has largely involved cameos, he certainly picked the right film to be the leading man.
