Olivia Munn wowed as she made her first red carpet appearance since bravely announcing her breast cancer diagnosis back in March.
The actress, 43, attended the Chanel Tribeca Festival Artists Dinner, held at The Odeon restaurant, in New York City on Monday.
Olivia looked gorgeous in a glittering halter Chanel jumpsuit accessorized with a dainty belt and a quilted taupe purse thrown over her shoulder.
Her hair contained a glossy shine as it cascade down in loose, perfectly styled ringlets while an expertly applied coat of makeup accentuated her natural beauty.
She finished off the look with peep toe heels and a flawless white manicure.

The appearance marks Olivia’s first time back on the red carpet since she courageously shared she had been diagnosed with breast cancer last year and had undergone a double mastectomy.
The last time Olivia attended a public event was for the 2024 Academy Awards, which came just days before she revealed her diagnosis.
Olivia revealed in March of this year that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer in April 2023, and since then she has undergone four surgeries – including a double mastectomy – with the treatment putting her into medically induced menopause.
In a recent interview with Vogue, she revealed she had also undergone her fifth surgery – a hysterectomy.
‘I have now had an oophorectomy and hysterectomy. I took out my uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries,’ Munn told Vogue in a profile for Mothers’ Day.
She told Good Morning America last month: ‘Cancer is the… that’s the word you don’t want to hear.
‘There’s a lot of other things that you feel like you can beat, but you know cancer takes down a lot of people. And I just thought about my baby.’
Olivia was referring to her two-year-old son Malcolm who she shares with her 41-year-old comedian partner John Mulaney.

She added about why she wanted to ‘document’ her cancer journey: ‘Well, because if I didn’t make it, I wanted my son when he got older to know that I fought to be here. That I tried my best.
‘You want the people in your life… you want the people that maybe don’t understand what’s going on right to know that you did everything you could to be here.’
Olivia also told how part of the treatment for her ‘luminal B’ cancer was to suppress the production of hormones that causes it to grow, leading to her being put in a medically induced menopause that prevented her from spending time with her boy.
She added: ‘The hormone suppression therapy is brutal and it gave me next level debilitating exhaustion.
‘I was just in bed all day long, all day long, and my quality of life was so minimal and I wasn’t able to be there for my baby.

‘Whenever Malcolm would come into the home he’d run straight to my bed because that’s where he knows I am, like that’s what he associated with me.
‘And that was just too difficult for me to take. I had to find out if there was another option.’
Olivia decided to get a hysterectomy and ovariectomy but wanted to do an egg retrieval before the surgeries so that she and John could still have the option to have more children.
She added: ‘John and I had a long talk about it. We realized that we weren’t done growing our family.
‘That’s a scary process because I have a cancer that feeds off of hormones so I knew there was a risk and our doctor said, ‘Look, we’re gonna get one for you and then we’re gonna call it.’
‘And then our doctor called and he said, ‘Hey we got the results back. It’s two healthy embryos, and I… I mean we just started bawling, crying, both of us.’
