The 37-year-old actress looked stunning in a black and cream edgy Dior gown, featuring a short in the front and long in the back hemline, which expertly displayed her slender figure.

The Inception star paired the attire with some simple black heels from the fashion house and wore her brunette tresses in a classic French roll hairstyle for the evening.
The sophisticated look was rounded out with Chopard jewels and perfectly applied smokey eye make-up, which made her azure blue eyes pop even more.
The stunning star posed on the red-carpet with her co-star Matthias Schoenaerts, who looked dapper in a black suit, white shirt and skinny tie, most likely from Dior Homme.

In Rust and Bone, Marion plays a whale trainer, Stéphanie, who loses her legs in an accident and must battle to embrace love, life and sex.  
Discussing her role in the film, directed by Oscar-nominated French Director, Jacques Audiardin, in the December issue of Harper's Bazaar, she said: 'Well, I mean, I love my job, but I’m not going to cut my legs off.
'Stéphanie loses her legs. It’s a shock.  If she’d been without them for years, I would have worked differently.  But I had to learn with her how it felt – that loss. How it changes her.'
