Felicity Jones attended the Chanel Pre-Oscar Dinner held at Madeo Restaurant in Los Angeles on Saturday.
The ‘Breathe In’ actress wore a floor-length dress from Chanel Spring 2013.
Felicity has shown her love of the black-and-white combo on red carpets past, and for this event she sported the colour duo in a tweed gown with a front slit and an exaggerated collar and cuffs.
I like the silhouette of the dress—it’s simple and subtly curve-hugging—but the oversized details in black and white are too reminiscent of a nun uniform for my taste. I would love to see the dress in a different colour palette.
The look was topped off with black and transparent ankle strap heels, also from Chanel, and a slightly smokey eye and nude lip.

This dress reminds of a nun. First glance.
Very matronly on her.

I love this – seems everyone looked great at this event – I like the nun feel to this dress
I loved this look! Head to toe. This is the first time I’ve seen her so put together. I think she can definitely act and she has commercial potential. Just need to glam up a bit and play a good PR game. Don’t be another Sienna Miller.
Love this. It’s a very quiet (but not boring) look, and that quietness serves to highlight her natural beauty, imo.
Way too nun-like indeed, not loving it.
Paging Sister Betrille….
I find it rather nunnish (and I love nuns, but that is not the look most would want to go for on Oscar night). It’s nice, but not great.
i love it. weird dress but strangely beautiful just like her
A very well dressed nun, but a nun nonetheless.
