The Martian actress wore her trademark red hair slicked back in a side-parting, showing off her stunning bone structure.

Despite the fact she is known for her fiery locks, she admits she thought about changing her look in the past.

She said: 'There were a couple of times when I thought, "Maybe I should dye my hair blonde?"

'Being a redhead and not having very conventionally modern looks, it was confusing for people and they didn't know exactly where to put me.'
