She wore a tailored black Saint Laurent double-breasted shawl collar tuxedo jacket paired with a plain black bra, and classic tailored trousers. Her blazer was left open to reveal her toned abs and chunky gold chain-link necklaces. She accessorized with a slim clutch and Ava sandals in crepe satin and rhinestones.

“My heart goes out to everyone who was forced to stop working because the AMPTP is failing to recognize our basic worth,” sheposted to Instagramon July 14, referring to the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, along with a photo of herself on the picket line in New York.

“It’s a real shame they put us all in this position,” she continued. “But we can’t settle for scraps out of desperation. The contract simply needs to reflect the massive shifts in the industry since the last negotiation. The jig is UP. Pay people for their work. Greed is gross.#unionstrong.”
