She dominates as the female lead in the movie Now You See Me 2. And on the carpet, it is no different. 

Lizzy Caplan looked perfect at the U.S. premiere of the Now You See Me sequel in an Erdem dress, part of the designer's fall 2016 collection.

She gracefully made her way on to the carpet at AMC Loews Lincoln Square on Monday evening in New York. 

So graceful! Lizzy Caplan wore a beautifully-designed Erdem gown, part of the 2016 fall collection, at the NYC premiere of Now You See Me 2 on Monday evening

The design of her gown made quite the statement on the carpet as her white, laced dress was adorned with flowers with just the right amount of color. 

Yellow, blue, and burgundy popped right off of her white gown, matching the complexion of her bronzed skin and brunette hair. 

The Masters of Sex actress is known for keeping it classy and humble on the carpet, and that she did. Her short, layered hair was styled wavy, framing her face, as she wore minimal jewelry, allowing her dress do the talking.

The dress featured a high neck that elongated the actress' look, paired with ruffles. Caplan opted for Jimmy Choo shoes along with her gown.

Caplan was joined by her fellow star-studded cast of the film as they posed together in excitement.

Mark Ruffalo, Daniel Radcliffe, Jesse Eisenberg, and Dave Franco looked dapper in their suits and ties. The 'Four Horsemen' were missing their partner Woody Harrelson, as he was not present at the premiere.

Ruffalo went for an all-grey look as he wore matching a jacket and pants. He broke it up by wearing a white button-up shirt and a silver tie.

Both Franco and Eisenberg opted for all black. Dashing Dave paired it with a white collared shirt while Eisenberg chose a blue-and-black checkered collared shirt. The Harry Potter Star donned a black jacket and pants, pairing his suit with a periwinkle blue collared shirt and a black-and-blue patterned tie.

Directed by Jon M. Chu, the follow-up to the 2013 Now You See Me film, the first reeling in 351.7 million dollars worldwide, is back with a similar cast, adding Lizzy Caplan's character. She replaced Isla Fisher as the female member of illusionists.

Caplan plays hot magician Lula in the film. She said in an interview, 'One thing that I really wanted to do was make the character not your standard-issue, girl-in-the-movie-with-a-bunch-of-guys thing.'

'I wanted to make her more interesting than that—and kind of annoying,' she added.

Others who attended the New York red carpet were Morgan Freeman, Kelly Bensimon, Karina Smirnoff, and the illusionist himself, David Copperfield. 

The sequel features The Four Horsemen once again (Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco, Jesse Eisenberg, and Lizzy Caplan) and their leader played by Ruffalo. In the movie, the group tries to conquer a corrupt tech tycoon, but their plan backfires as Radcliffe's character exposes the magic group to the FBI, forcing them to steal a powerful computer chip. The group also faces opponents from Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman's character.

In an interview with Chicago Sun Times, Harrelson, who plays dual characters in the sequel, noted that 'it’s rare you get a sequel that’s better than the first one. This just happens to be one of them.'

Ruffalo, known for speaking up about political and environmental issues, called out the underlying social themes in the film. 

“People are dying for justice in this world. They don’t feel they’re going to get it anywhere else in the real world, so they have to rely on a bunch of magicians in a film to provide them that kind of feeling,” the actor said.

Adding: 'The Horsemen are actually stealing from the super rich and giving it to everyone below the .01 percent.' 

Announced at a Lionsgate company conference, Variety reported that talks of a third installment of the movie is in the works; before the sequel has even been released.

The U.S. release is slated for Friday, June 10th.

The U.K. release is set for July 4. 2016.
