Maggie paired her outfit with stylish designer white loafers and a thin black belt, and her brunette locks were styled in soft curls and she added red lipstick for a pop of colour.  

Keeping accessories to a minimum she donned a silver bracelet and elegant rings as she arrived to continue promotional duties for the film. 

It comes after the star brought understated elegance to the opening ceremony of the festival on Saturday.

She slid her svelte frame into a black floor-length gown that featured a plunging neckline hinting at her enviably trim midriff.

Maggie accented the dress with an understated matching blazer, adding a quirky touch to the look with trendily mismatched earrings. 

The sister of Jake Gyllenhaal wore her hair in a bob reminiscent of the flapper era and sharpened her unmistakable features with makeup.

She flashed her megawatt smile as she made her way around the red carpet on a pair of vertiginous black stilettos.

Once inside the ceremony she took the stage and could be seen holding a sign declaring the festival officially open.
