Livening up the LBD! Felicity Jones sports an unusual take on the wardrobe classic at Breathe In premiere
Felicity Jones attended the premiere of her new movie Breathe In wearing an unusual little black dress.
The 30-year-old was spotted on the red carpet of the Sunshine Landmark Theatres in New York on Tuesday, showing off her slender pins in an over the knee, lurex jacquard Erdem dress.
Sections of the ensemble were cut out at her neck and elbows and replaced with sheer black lace, giving the garment a deconstructed look.

However, to complement the attire she went for the more traditional pairing of elegant black strappy heels.
Smoky make-up was the order of the night for the Like Crazy starlet, who underscored her green eyes with black and silver eye shadow and black liner.
Jones highlighted her striking features with a shaggy bob and fringe that swept to the side.

Unable to dominate her impressive dress, the actress decided not to wear any accessories apart from a small sliver bracelet on her right wrist.
Starring in Drake Doremus' new drama about a middle-aged music teacher who falls for a British exchange student, Jones features alongside veteran actor Guy Pearce.
Pearce plays the music teacher who falls for Jones after she comes to stay with his family outside New York.

She opted for the monochrome look and wore black Helmut Lang trousers matched with a cream Balenciaga jumper and cream Casadei shoes.
Jones, who is just getting started in Hollywood, recently spoke to GQ about wanting to following in the footsteps of older actresses who have had long-lasting careers.

‘I love actresses who have longevity,’ said the Chalet Girl star on which actress she most admires.
‘People like Annette Bening and Helen Mirren, Julianne Moore, Meryl Streep. These women constantly test themselves and they're brave.
She continued: ‘I've worked with a few of them: Helen Mirren was particularly inspirational on one of my first films. I was so overwhelmed by the whole experience, but she was totally giving as an actress.
‘There was no vanity to her on set - she was one hundred per cent focused.’
