Deborra-Lee Furness shocked the world when she announced her divorce from her longtime husband Hugh Jackman in September.
And on Tuesday, the actress shook off the stress of her divorce as she stepped out in style for the Sydney premiere of her new film, Force of Nature: The Dry 2.
The 68-year-old looked every bit the part of a major movie star in a figure-hugging black dress with stylish square shoulder pads.
Her short blonde hair was styled in a trendy pixie cut and her lips were painted a seductive shade of pink.
She kept the whole look simple and elegant, but added some diamond and ruby earrings for a touch of luxury.

Deborra-Lee couldn’t wipe the smile off her face as she proudly posed for photos and walked the red carpet.
She was joined by her hunky co-star Eric Bana, who proved to be the perfect accessory for the newly single starlet.
If anything, the 6ft 1in Hulk hunk was the ultimate gentleman as he stood by Furness and addressed the baying media and fans nearby.

According to Woman’s Day, the pair quickly became friends while working together on the set of Force of Nature: The Dry 2.
“She and Eric had a great time filming and were solid buddies from day one. She’s really getting a kick out of starring with him,” an “insider” reportedly told the publication.
“It was a huge comfort to her to have Eric there for her first performance in a long time.”
The source went on to say that Deborra-Lee found Eric, 55, “funny and personable,” while the actor was impressed by her acting skills.

Eric is happily married to his longtime wife Rebecca Gleeson.
It comes after Deborra-Lee shared a telling message about her split from Hugh on her T-shirt as she stepped out in Bondi on Sunday.
She proudly wore a white shirt with ‘S**T HAPPENS’ in bold letters across the front.
The Correlli actress and Wolverine star ended their 27-year marriage last year, with the former couple announcing their shock split in September.

They broke the news with a united front, telling their fans that they were parting ways “to pursue our individual growth.”
“We are blessed to have had a beautiful, loving marriage together for almost three decades,” the couple said in a statement obtained by PEOPLE.
“Our journey is now changing and we have decided to part ways to pursue our individual growth.”
The couple married in 1996 after crossing paths on the set of Correlli in 1995, and share two adopted children: son Oscar, 23, and daughter Ava, 18.
