Laverne Cox was pretty in pink while out in LA on Thursday.

The actress wore a Romeo Hunte mini dress as she attended the premiere of her new documentary Free Cece! at The LA Film Festival at the Arclight Cinemas in Culver City.

The 32-year-old added a stack of vintage gold Chanel necklaces as she attended the screening of the film, in which she also stars.

Laverne interviews transgender woman and former prisoner CeCe McDonald in the documentary.

CeCe was arrested for stabbing a man to death in what she said was self-defense, after he assaulted her in an attack that was seen as racist and trans-phobic.

Her case became famous, and she spent time in a men's prison before being released in 2014, and Laverne's new documentary tells her story.

Premiere: Laverne appears in the documentary, which follows the story of transgender activist CeCe McDonald

The actress told GLAAD CeCe's case hit home, because she could easily have been in CeCe's shoes and found herself in a dangerous situation that quickly escalated into violence.

'But for the grace of God I could be CeCe McDonald,' she said.

'CeCe’s case represents a long list of instances of violence against transgender women who are disproportionately trans women of color.'

On Thursday, the transgender star added pink heels, and accessorized with a geometric, gold clutch as she celebrated her film's premiere.

Support: Laverne was joined by her Rocky Horror costars Victoria Justice and Reeve Carney. They're starring in a remake of the camp classic that will air on Fox this fall

CeCe, who served just under two years after a plea deal, also attended, wearing a black body-con jumpsuit.

Also showing their support at the premiere were actress Victoria Justice, who wore a blue satin bomber jacket and black skinny jeans, and Penny Dreadful star Reeve Carney.

Victoria, 23, and Reeve, 33, both co-star with Laverne in Fox's new remake of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, which will air in the fall.
