Mara opted for a look from the Alexander McQueen Spring 2016 collection that combined a structured military-style jacket with a tiered sheer lace skirt. The 30-year-old actress kept her accessories to a minimum and wore her hair styled into a slicked back up-do.

Mara has been making the promotional rounds for her new film Carol, in which she stars opposite Cate Blanchett. The movie, an adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s 1952 novel The Price of Salt, tells the story of an unlikely romance between housewife Carol (Blanchett) and young shopgirl Therese (Mara).

“Certainly that’s how I felt about Cate, I was enamored with her, and I sort of watched everything that she was doing,” Mara told the New York Daily News, adding of her love scene with Blanchett, “It’s just like shooting any other really intense scene, if you’re shooting a really emotional scene, you’re naked in a different way.”
