Gillian Anderson's flattering black dress and heels are the stunning autumn evening look that never dates

Gillian Anderson is pictured wearing a black blazer and scarf at Netflix's "The Abandons" premiere held at Netflix Tudum Theater on December 03, 2025 in Los Angeles, California.

Stepping out in Soho for an early screening of her new film Teenage Sex and Death At Camp Miasma, the actress looked stunning in a sleek black halterneck maxi dress with a sweeping, asymmetric hemline. Treading the line between a cocktail dress and something formal enough for black-tie dress codes, the elegant, minimally accessorised dress proved that black evening attire never fails to look chic.
