To accessorize her look, the Twilight alum added a pair of gold-colored, dangly earrings that almost brushed her shoulders and a gold ring. 

In order to keep the yellow dress the main focal point, Anna opted to not add any other pieces of jewelry. 

Her brunette hair was parted in the middle, and pulled back into a sleek, stylish ponytail. 

Her makeup was elegantly done, which comprised of black eyeliner and eyeshadow, along with a nude-colored lipstick. 

The beauty appeared to be thrilled to take part in the special screening of her latest film called Alice, Darling. The thriller was directed by English filmmaker, Mary Nighy.

Meaningful project: Anna explained to People that she took on the role of Alice because, ”I was coming out of a personal experience with emotional abuse and psychological abuse’

According to the movie’s official synopsis on IMDB, Anna plays the character of Alice, who is ‘trapped in an abusive relationship’ and ‘becomes the unwitting participant in an intervention staged by her two closest friends.’ 

Other stars in the thriller include Charlie Carrick, who plays her boyfriend, Simon, in the film, and Kaniehtiio Horn along with Wunmi Mosaku. 

When discussing the film to People recently, Anna explained what prompted her to take on the role of Alice. 

‘I was coming out of a personal experience with emotional abuse and psychological abuse,’ she told the publication. ‘I think my rep sent it to me, because he knew what I’d been dealing with and sent it along.’ 

She later added, ‘And it was really surprising timing that we found this script at that moment in my life.’

Before getting ready to walk the red carpet, Anna had quite an adventurous day and got stuck in an elevator in Toronto before the premiere. 

‘I got in the wrong elevator at the wrong time,’ Anna later joked while at the photo and video studio for People and Entertainment Weekly at TIFF.

‘I got out. Some lovely Canadian firefighters had me crawl out the top of the hatch. But, yeah, it was, like, seven of us in an elevator just waiting to be rescued by firefighters. It was so absurd that it would happen on a film press tour that it just seemed so immediately comical,’ she added.

‘I couldn’t stop cracking jokes. Although, maybe that’s a defense mechanism. Come on, Anna. Do you know anything about yourself? I think that was probably a defense mechanism. Oh no, I’m not healthy!,’ she said.

She also filmed the incident and her rescue, which she shared to her fans and followers on her main Instagram page.  

Classic excuse: ‘Ah, the classic ”I’m behind schedule at this film festival because I had to be rescued from an elevator” excuse #TIFF22,’ she wrote as a caption

Just vibing: The Pitch Perfect franchise star also kidded that she she was ‘vibing’ the experience and that everyone was loving it

The clip showed the actress trapped in the elevator full of other people, while making jokes such as, ‘Guys, we have to ration the limited food supply.’ 

Anna also gave a behind the scenes look of her escape out of the elevator through the roof once the firefighters came to help everyone out. 

She posed with a group of firefighters and declared her love for them after the rescue.
