She was one of the most shocking snubs of Oscar season, with many critics claiming she'd be a shoo-in for her work in 20th Century Women.

But Annette Bening didn't seem to be letting the omission get to her as she attended the Paris premiere of the celebrated film at Les Halles on Monday. 

Nailing Parisian chic, the 58-year-old actress opted for a monochrome ensemble that flattered her youthful physique.

Flashing a hint of cleavage, the mother-of-four donned a black blouse with cream stripes with a risque V-neckline. 

She teamed the garment with a black midi skirt that bore a thigh split to offer a look at her enviably lean legs. 

Adding some height to her frame she wore a pair of chunky heeled black shoes, and accessorised with a myriad of silver bracelets.

20th Century Women is set in 1979 and sees Annette take on the role of Dorothea who seeks the help of Abbie (Greta Gerwig) and Julie (Elle Fanning) to raise her son, Jamie (Lucas Jade Zumann).

The film was nominated for two Golden Globe Awards, Best Picture and Best Actress for Annette, as well as Best Original Screenplay Oscars.

However, Annette failed to get a mention in the nominees for Best Actress at the Academy Awards.

Discussing Annette's snub, the Oscar nominated writer Mike Mills told Vulture: 'I’m wildly surprised. She’s my comrade. We’re in the same army troop together.

'So I feel like I can say I was slugged in the stomach. She did so much and I admire it so much. 

'Everybody on set was so completely blown away by her freedom and her bravery and just talent.'
