Felicity Jones was the epitome of elegance in a black midi dress as she made a stunning appearance at the WME Oscar Nominees Toast on Friday.

The Rogue One actress, 41, looked ravishing in the strapless number which presented chic ruffled embellishments.

The Theory Of Everything star added gold dainty earrings to her ensemble, as she posed graciously inside the lavish Chateau Marmont.

Felicity was captured rubbing shoulders with British film executive and Chairwoman of Universal Studios Donna Langley – as the duo gently beamed.

It comes after the actress commanded attention in a dazzling silver Prada gown as she walked the star-studded red carpet at the 82nd annual Golden Globe Awards earlier in January.

During the evening, Felicity missed out on Best Supporting Actress in a Musical or Comedy for her role in The Brutalist with Zoe Saldaña taking home the gong for Emilia Pérez.

Felicity recently discussed ‘pushing back on expectations’ and gender imbalance in the film industry as she graced the cover on Marie Claire in December.

In the accompanying interview with the magazine, Felicity, who recently started her own production company said: ‘There are always expectations about how one should be and it’s about pushing back on those.’ 

After rising to fame in 2011’s Like Crazy, she recalled the ‘profound gender imbalance’ during her early career likening it to ‘walking onto a building site.’

Felicity added: ‘Young actresses could get easily pigeonholed. There would often be descriptions relating to appearance rather than character in scripts, but I have noticed people are more conscious of that.’ 

She continued: ‘Female directors need to have the funds to make films. But it’s been an extraordinary shift.’

Felicity stars as Erzsébet Tóth in historical drama, The Brutalist, a post-war epic about a Holocaust survivor attempting to rebuild a life in America.

Inspired by the Jean-Louis Cohen’s book Architecture in Uniform, the film stars Adrien Brody as a Hungarian architect with Felicity playing his wife.

Spanning decades, The Brutalist tells the story of László Tóth and his attempts to pursue his art after the war in America.

Adrien plays Tóth. He lives in near-poverty until a wealthy industrialist, Harrison Lee Van Buren (Guy Pearce), gives him an important contract. Joe and Alessandro Nivola also star.

The actor said it was a character and a story he felt an ‘immediate kinship and understanding for.’ 

His mother, pH๏τographer Sylvia Plachy, was a Hungarian immigrant who fled in 1956 during the anti-Soviet revolution to restart and attempt to build a life as an artist.
