Olivia Munn wowed as she made her first red carpet appearance since bravely announcing her breast cancer diagnosis in March.
The actress, 43, attended the Chanel Tribeca Festival Artists Dinner on Monday, held at The Odeon restaurant in New York City.
Olivia looked stunning in a glittering halter jumpsuit from Chanel, accessorized with a dainty belt and a quilted taupe bag thrown over her shoulder.
Her hair showed a glossy sheen as it fell down in loose, perfectly styled curls, while an expertly applied layer of makeup accentuated her natural beauty.
She completed the look with peep-toe heels and a flawless white manicure.

The appearance marks Olivia’s first time back on the red carpet since she bravely shared her breast cancer diagnosis and double mastectomy last year.
The last time Olivia attended a public event was for the 2024 Academy Awards, which took place just days before she revealed her diagnosis.
Olivia revealed in March this year that she was diagnosed with breast cancer in April 2023 and has since undergone four operations – including a double mastectomy – with the treatment putting her into a medically induced menopause.
In a recent interview with Fashionshe revealed that she had also undergone her fifth surgery: a hysterectomy.
‘I have now had an oophorectomy and hysterectomy. I had my uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries removed,” Munn told Vogue in a Mother’s Day profile.
She said Good morning America last month: ‘It’s cancer… that’s the word you don’t want to hear.
“There are a lot of other things you think you can beat, but you know cancer kills a lot of people. And all I thought about was my baby.”
Olivia was referring to her two-year-old son Malcolm, who she shares with her 41-year-old comedy partner John Mulaney.

She added why she wanted to “document” her cancer journey: “Well, because if I didn’t make it, I wanted my son, when he got older, to know that I fought to be here.” That I did my best.
“You want the people in your life… you want the people who might not really understand what’s going on to know that you did everything you could to be here.”
Olivia also shared how part of the treatment for her ‘luminal B’ cancer involved suppressing the production of hormones that cause the cancer to grow, which led to her going into a medically induced menopause, meaning she doesn’t have time could spend with her son.
She added, “The hormone suppression therapy is brutal and it left me with next level debilitating exhaustion.
“I was in bed all day, all day, and my quality of life was so minimal that I couldn’t be there for my baby.

“Every time Malcolm came into the house he would run straight to my bed because he knows I’m there, like he associates that with me.
“And that was just too hard for me to bear. I had to find out if there was another option.”
Olivia decided to have a hysterectomy and oophorectomy, but wanted to do an egg retrieval before the operations so that she and John still had the option of having more children.
She added, “John and I talked about it for a long time. We realized we weren’t done growing our family yet.
“That’s a scary process because I have a cancer that feeds on hormones, so I knew there was a risk and our doctor said, ‘Look, we’re going to get you one and then we’re going to call it.’
“And then our doctor called and he said, ‘Hey, we got the results back.’ They’re two healthy embryos, and I… I mean, we just started crying, both of us.”
