Felicity Jones takes a risk in unusual black asymmetric dress to accept Best Movie prize as she leads stars at AARP Awards

She will soon be walking the red carpet at the Academy Awards, where she is nominated for Best Actress.
And in the meantime, Felicity Jones is experimenting with her red carpet style.
The 31-year-old took a risk at the AARP The Magazine’s Movies For Grown-Ups Awards Gala at the Beverly Wilshire hotel in Los Angeles on Monday.

Felicity wore an unusual black strapless dress that was asymmetric and had white piping and a full skirt.
The Theory Of Everything star also wore matching strappy sandals and kept her accessories to a minimum, with just a pair of dazzling drop earrings.
Felicity left her glossy, shoulder-length bob loose and straight and finished off her look with smoky eye make-up and bright pink lipstick.
