Marisa Tomei made quite the impression during the opening night of the new Broadway production of An Enemy Of The People, which took place at the Square Theatre on Monday evening.
The 59-year-old performer flashed a smile as she posed for a few photos prior to the start of the Henrik Ibsen-penned play.
The actress – who recently joined Camila Mendes at a premiere event – donned a light blue crewneck sweater underneath a plaid trench coat that kept her warm in the chilly New York City weather.
Tomei tucked her sweater into a pair of slightly wide-legged black pants, and she also sported a pair of patterned socks during the event.
The My Cousin Vinny actress completed her look for the evening with leather shoes and a pair of jet-black sunglasses.

Her gorgeous light brunette hair remained free-flowing and cascaded onto her shoulders and chest while she posed for the snaps.
One of Tomei’s most recent appearances in a filmed project was in the romantic comedy feature Upgraded, which was released earlier this year.
The movie served as an updated version of Cinderella and was centered on an intern who pretends to be her handsome coworker’s boss.
In addition to Tomei, the cast of the feature was rounded out by performers such as Mendes, Archie Renaux and Lena Olin.
Upgraded, which was directed by Carlson Young, made its debut on the Amazon Prime Video streaming service this past February.
The feature received generally positive reviews from critics and currently holds a rating of 77% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Tomei recently spoke to Today about working on the feature and stated that she was initially unsure about being able to portray a particularly aggressive character.
The performer stated: ‘It’s hard for me to do that. I’m like, “No one’s going to take me seriously.”‘

The actress went on to express that she eventually became fond of portraying an unlikable character while filming her scenes.
‘I thought I could probably push it even more. I told myself to keep going. Just…let it rip. Don’t worry about being nice,’ she said.
Tomei also remarked that she played the character with a slightly exaggerated accent in order as a way of showing part of her fictional personality to the audience.
‘She is her own creation. She wants the atmosphere around her to crackle. So, we made up (the accent),’ she recalled.
