Jessica Chastain exuded class in an eye-catching ensemble as she attended the last day of the 20th Marrakech International Film Festival on Saturday in Morocco.
The Zero Dark Thirty actress, 46 – who turned heads in a stunning gown earlier this week at the event – was seen joining other celebrities on the red carpet ahead of the closing ceremony.
The star donned a pair of loose-fitting trousers while fabric was wrapped around her waist and tied into a bow on the left side, allowing pieces to flow down towards the ground.
The bodice portion of the outfit contained monochromatic, sequin details that glittered under the bright lights.
Her long locks were parted to the side, and effortlessly flowed down past her shoulders in elegant waves.

A light pink blush was added to her cheekbones for a radiant glow, while a darker pink tint was worn on her lips for a finishing touch.

For a unique flare, Cotillard added a pair of purple-embellished suspenders and slipped into a pair of closed-toed, black pumps that were secured with straps that wrapped around her ankles.

Both Jessica and Kelly expressed in a statement, per Deadline, ‘Neon is a true filmmaker’s haven.’
‘Their unique vision and distinctive campaigns are a reflection of their mission to bring the best and most diverse cinematic experience to US audiences. Mothers’ Instinct will be in excellent hands with Tom and the team.’
Jessica also promoted the upcoming drama, Memory, during the festival, which also stars Peter Sarsgaard and was directed by Michel Franco.
The actress plays a social worker who lives a ‘simple and structured life’ which is ‘is blown open when Saul (Sarsgaard) follows her home from their high school reunion.’
‘Their surprise encounter will profoundly impact both of them as they open the door to the past,’ according to an IMDB synopsis.
During the festival, she opened up about her reasoning on taking a leading role in Franco’s film, and stated, per Variety, ‘I’m quite rebellious.’

‘[Whenever] the industry and the world starts seeing me as one kind of actress, I will push against it. [I need] to show that no one’s in charge of me except for me.’
The star also revealed, ‘I’m really interested in subversive, provocative stories. [So] I look for directors and creators who are [equally] subversive, who take huge risks.’
‘I demand the same thing of myself; I never want to allow myself to get too comfortable.’
When she isn’t working hard on set, Jessica puts her main focus on raising her two children, Giulietta and Augustus – whom she shares with husband Gian Luca Passi de Preposulo.
