The Irish actress, 36, who has been nominated for Best Actress for her leading role in Hamnet, looked stunning in a strapless black dress as she posed on the red carpet ahead of the event.
Striking a series of poses for the cameras, Jessie added inches to her frame with a pair of black pointed court heels.
Letting the dress take centre stage, the star kept her accessories minimal, opting for a blue choker necklace.
She appeared in high spirits as she shared laughs on the red carpet before heading inside the hotel for the star-studded luncheon.

After bagging a Golden Globe and a Critics' Choice Award this month, Jessie will go into the March 15 ceremony in Los Angeles as a nominee, four years after she earned a nod for The Lost Daughter.
Actress in a Leading Role will be a highly competitive field as Jessie goes up against Rose Byrne - If I Had Legs I'd Kick You, Kate Hudson - Song Sung Blue, Renate Reinsve - Sentimental Value and Emma Stone - Bugonia.

Jessie said she is 'so proud and honoured' to have been nominated for her portrayal of Agatha Shakespeare.
Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, she said: 'My baby's screaming in the background, but I am thrilled. I'm so proud and honoured to be beside all those extraordinary women and to be there with Hamnet. I'm delighted.'
Hamnet is nominated for a total of eight awards, including the coveted Best Picture accolade and Best Director for Chloe Zhao, but Paul Mescal was a surprise snub in the Best Supporting Actor category.
However, Jessie believes her own recognition 'belongs' to her co-star just as much as it does to herself because of how much she needed him for her own performance.
Asked her reaction to his omission, she said: 'Yeah, look, I think he's extraordinary in this film. I know I've met a partner for life in doing this with him. I don't know what to say apart from he is, to me, my absolute.

'His artistry is something that will continue to grow and be a theme in so many different ways.

'I know what we created together is something that's so special to us, and I hold that so dearly in my heart, and there's no part of Agnes that exists without Paul.'
'There's no part of what I created or what we created in this story which exists without Paul and what he poured into this story.
'So what is recognised belongs to him as much as him being recognised in his own category would.'
The main battle coming March 15 will be Timothée Chalamet vs Leonardo DiCaprio, who face off in the coveted Best Actor category.
Timothée, 30, received a nod for Marty Supreme while Leo, 51, earned it for One Battle After Another, as the A-listers will face off against Ethan Hawke - Blue Moon, Michael B. Jordan - Sinners and Wagner Moura - The Secret Agent.
