Natalie Portman and Julianne Moore pulled out all the stops on Wednesday evening as they arrived at the photocall for their new film May December.
The Oscar-winning actresses complemented each other in matching glamorous all-black ensembles as they posed on the red carpet.
Natalie, 42, ensured all eyes were on her as she donned a plunging black tuxedo jacket, that showed off a hint of her cleavage.
The Black Swan star teamed the blazer with a coordinating pair of trousers and swept her hair up into a sleek bun.
She opted for no jewellery to let her daring outfit shine and completed her striking look with shimmery eyeshadow and a slick of pink lipgloss.

Julianne, 63, showed off her impeccable style in an edgy leather coat layered over a simple black maxi dress.
The Still Alice star boosted her height in a pair of black peep-toe high heels and added a pair of chunky silver earrings.
Her fiery red tresses were styled down and tucked behind her ears, while she sported a light palette of make-up, including a smoky eyeshadow look.
The two movie stars had never worked together before their latest film, which has received critical acclaim.
Natalie plays 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 (Charles Melton) 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 eventually married for 12 years until their 2019 separation and Mary passed away, aged 58, from colorectal cancer in 2020.
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 in May.
Fans have been going wild for the drama and have taken to Twitter to praise the acting and storyline and in particular Charles Melton’s performance.
One fan said: ‘It’s the next morning after seeing may December (2023) and I can’t get Charles Melton’s performance out of my head.
‘He’s just so good and the film itself is a freaking masterpiece dude.’
Another said: ‘They don’t make movies like may December anymore!’
A third penned: ‘What Charles Melton does in May December is so special, he has to walk such a fine line between child and adult.
‘I’ve never been so excited to see where someone’s career goes. he’s not just a star in the making, but a really special kind of actor.’
Another said: ‘I need to see May December again. (Just watched May December.)’ while someone else wrote: ‘I need to see may December NOW.’
Charles won the Gotham Award for Outstanding Supporting Performance for May December last week.
