Her sleek brown hair was swept up in a sleek topknot and her blue eyes were amplified with bold black eyeliner.
Alexandra’s pale complexion had a soft pale pink color and her lips were painted a flattering nude pink shade.
To show off the flowing skirt of her dress, the True Detective star twirled around for photographers during her stunning red carpet appearance.
She paraded in a pair of silver sandals.
Julia Roberts is set to receive the first-ever Icon Award at the Academy Museum Gala, which is being held this year for only the second time.
When it first took place last September, the star-studded event managed to raise $11 million for the new museum, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Other winners this year include Doctor Strange star Tilda Swinton, who receives the Visionary Award, which honors “an artist or scholar whose considerable work has advanced the art of filmmaking”.
The Vantage Award celebrating “an artist or scholar who has helped contextualize and challenge mainstream narratives around film” goes to Steve McQueen, director of 12 Years A Slave and Shame.
Parasite producer Miky Lee, who is also Vice Chair of the Academy Museum’s Board of Trustees, will receive the Pillar Award in honor of her “exemplary leadership and support of the Academy Museum.”
Oscar-winning actresses Lupita Nyong’o and Halle Berry will host the gala along with TV impresario Ryan Murphy and hit horror producer Jason Blum.
Former TCM host Jacqueline Stewart, who was named head of the Academy Museum in July, praised Julia earlier this year when it was announced she would receive the award for the icon.
“Over her vast and renowned career, Julia has portrayed iconic characters and memorable roles. We are thrilled to honor her continued excellence in the industry and her contribution to the arts,” she said.
“We are deeply grateful to Julia, Miky, Steve and Tilda, at Rolex, as well as our co-chairs and the organizing committee for making our second annual gala an evening to remember.”
The Academy Museum opened its doors last year just four days after the first gala, sparking a storm of controversy over its political orientation.
Critics have criticized the museum for emphasizing the contributions of various minorities to the American film industry while ignoring the white Jewish immigrants from Central and Eastern Europe who played a major role in the creation of Hollywood.
The museum responded to the blowback by announcing in March that it will add a permanent exhibit highlighting the Jewish history of the film industry.
