Julianne Moore cut a sophisticated figure in a muted ensemble on Thursday as she attended a screening of her film May December at Soho House in London.
The actress, 63, stars in the film opposite Natalie Portman, which is inspired by a woman named Mary Kay Letourneau, who was arrested in 1997 after pleading guilty to two rapes.
For the screening, Julianna showed off her age-defying beauty in a chic, understated outfit.
The actress wore a light brown sweater and a gold-colored midi skirt with glitter, which she combined with silver heels and earrings.

Charles Melton, who also stars in the film, attended the screening and the cast members took the stage to answer questions before the film.
In May December, Natalie will play actress Elizabeth Berry, who investigates sex offender and baker Gracie Atherton-Yoo, played by Julianne, in order to play her more authentically in an indie film.
The woman is infamous for her 23-year relationship with her husband Joe, played by Charles, whom she first met as a minor.
Twenty years after their infamous tabloid romance gripped the country, the couple buckles under the pressure when the actress arrives to investigate.
Julianne's character is a thinly veiled version of Mary Kay Letourneau, who served six years in prison for the second-degree rape of her 12-year-old student Vili Fualaau.
The controversial couple reunited after she was released, welcomed two daughters and eventually married.
They were married for 14 years before splitting in 2019 and Mary died the following year at the age of 58 from colorectal cancer.
May December was released on November 17 before streaming on Netflix on December 1 in the US and on Sky Cinema from December 8 in the UK.
The American film was directed by Todd Haynes from a screenplay by Samy Burch and premiered at the 76th Cannes Film Festival.
