For the screening, Julianna showed off her age-defying beauty in a chic understated outfit.
The actress wore a tan jumper and a gold sparkly midi skirt which she teamed with silver heels and hoop earrings.

May December sees Natalie playing the role of actress Elizabeth Berry, who researches sex offender-turned-baker Gracie Atherton-Yoo, played by Julianne, in order to more authentically play her in an indie film.
The woman is infamous for her 23-year-old relationship with her husband Joe, played by Charles, whom she first met as a minor.
Twenty years after their notorious tabloid romance gripped the nation, the married couple buckles under pressure when the actress arrives to do research.
Julianne’s character is a thinly-veiled version of Mary Kay Letourneau, who served six years in prison for felony second-degree rape of her 12-year-old student Vili Fualaau.
The controversial couple reunited after she was released and they welcomed two daughters and eventually married.
They were married for 14 years before they separated in 2019 and Mary then passed away, at the age of 58, from colorectal cancer the following year.
May December was released on November 17 before streaming on Netflix on December 1 in the US and on Sky Cinema from 8 December in the UK.
The American movie was directed by Todd Haynes from a screenplay by Samy Burch and premiered at the 76th Cannes Film Festival.
