Putting her best foot forward: Jessica Chastain steps out in fashionable Chanel spats

She steps out in glamorous attire without fail on her daily walks to the Manhattan theatre that provides the backdrop for her Broadway show The Heiress.
And Jessica Chastain did not disappoint on Wednesday as she made another style statement.
The 35-year-old actress looked stunning in navy and black with a pair of Chanel spats.

Joining the fashion pack: Jessica Chastain arrived to her play, The Heiress, on Broadway in New York City on Wednesday

The Silver Linings Playbook star looked as though she knew she had nailed the look as she breezed by photographers with a smile.

Jessica carried an emerald green handbag that added a splash of colour to her ensemble and complimented her gorgeous red hair.

 

She covered up her dark denim with a chic navy overcoat trimmed in black.

But the star of the show-stopping outfit was the pair of chunky black-and-white boots from the French fashion house.
Modern day spats originated from spatterdash - knee-length shoe covers dating back to the 19th century used by infantrymen and farmers for safety and warmth.

The lengths became shorter over the years, and more associated with the fashionable and well-to-do.

Jessica can count herself in both categories after enjoying a banner year.
In addition to nailing a starring role on Broadway, she is the star of awards season favourite Zero Dark Thirty, about the decade-long hunt for al-Qaeda terrorist leader Osama bin Laden after the September 2001 attacks.
The role landed her the best actress award at the Golden Globes earlier this month.

The talented thespian actress struggled not to cry as she accepted the honour.
‘I've wanted to be an actor since I was a little girl and I've worked for a really long time,' she said after receiving the award from presenter George Clooney.

Making waves: Jessica is up for best actress at the Oscars on February 24 for her role in Zero Dark Thirty

‘I've auditioned and struggled and fought and been on the sidelines for years.’

She continued praising Zero Dark Thirty director Kathryn Bigelow, saying: ‘I can't help but compare my character of Mia to you - two powerful, fearless women who allow their expert work to stand before them.

‘You've said that filmmaking for you is not about breaking gender roles, but when you make a film that allows your character to disobey the conventions of Hollywood, you've done more for women in cinema than you take credit for.’

Jessica is next set to walk the red carpet at the Oscars on February 24.

She is nominated for best actress alongside Jennifer Lawrence, Emmanuelle Riva, Quvenzhané Wallis and Naomi Watts.
