Felicity Jones began her press tour for “The Theory of Everything” on a high note at the HFPA 2014 Toronto Film Festival Celebration. An elegant black dress from Armani Privé’s Fall 2014 collection paired with pointed black pumps set the tone for a classic, old Hollywood wardrobe.

A peach tea-length dress from Erdem’s Pre-Fall 2014 collection was just the ticket for a sitting at the NKPR It Lounge Portrait Studio during the Toronto Film Festival. Black ankle-strap pumps added dimension while tousled bangs kept things modern.

Veering from her Hepburn-esque tendencies, Jones donned a Dior Resort 2015 high-neck blouse and skirt for an appearance during the Toronto Film Festival. With straightened hair and metallic gold sandals, the monochromatic ensemble lacked the “wow” factor of her previous looks.

A vintage Chanel turtleneck and Paule Ka trousers were stylishly appropriate for a special Academy-hosted screening of “The Theory of Everything” in New York. Fresh-faced makeup, an effortless updo, and Manolo Blahnik Mary Janes made this a total win.

Showing no signs of slowing down—or sacrificing her demure tendencies—Jones stunned at a screening of “The Theory of Everything” in a navy fit-and-flare Fendi dress and pointed black pumps. A cool collar and a dark eye added just enough detail.

While a strapless midi-length dress wouldn’t be considered “daring” for most actresses, for Jones it is. Covering up on the bottom with a low hemline dress by Jonathan Saunders and black Saint Laurent ankle-strap shoes, the actress accentuated her bare shoulders with a sleek straight ‘do and a smokey eye.

An awkward asymmetric hairstyle stole the focus from an otherwise flattering Prada look at the Governor’s Awards in L.A. Hey, sometimes new things just don’t work.
