Jodie Foster looked chic as she attended a finale screening for the American crime series True Detective in London on Wednesday.
The Panic Room actress, 61, stepped out for the screening in Piccadilly a leather biker jacket and tweed trousers alongside boxer and actress Kali Reis, 37.
Jodie finished off the look with pointed black stilettos, wearing her blonde hair down in loose waves and donning dark eyeliner.
Her appearance comes after she was nominated for an Academy Award for the first time in nearly 30 years.
The two-time Oscar winner – who last received a nod in 1995 for Nell – was recognised in the Best Supporting Actress category for her role in Nyad.

The screen icon will face off on March 10 against Emily Blunt, Oppenheimer, Danielle Brooks, The Color Purple, America Ferrera, Barbie and Da’Vine Joy Randolph, The Holdovers.
Her Nyad co-star Annette Bening, 65, landed her fourth Best Actress nomination for the film, having previously been nominated in the category for American Beauty, Being Julia and The Kids Are Alright.
She was also previously nominated in the Best Supporting Actress category for The Grifter.
Nyad follows the journey of long-distance swimmer Diana Nyad as she attempts a 100-mile ocean swim from Havana, Cuba to Key West, Florida.
Annette plays Nyad who originally gained fame when she swam 28 miles around Manhattan in 1975 at age 26 and for her 102 mile swim in 1979 at age 30 from the Bahamas to Juno Beach, Florida.
The film is based on Diana Nyad’s 2015 memoir, Find A Way. It follows the 64-year-old swimming legend on her quest to achieve her lifelong dream of competing a 110-mile open ocean swim from Cuba to Florida.
Jodie plays Bonnie Stoll, her friend and coach, who alongside a sailing team, guides Nyad on her four year journey to become the first person to complete the swim without the help of a shark cage.
Foster won her first Oscar as a 27-year-old for her lead role in The Accused in 1989 – winning the Best Actress award. She had landed her first Oscar nomination aged just 15 for Best Supporting Actress for Taxi Driver in 1977.

Her appearance (with Kali on Wednesday) comes after she was nominated for an Academy Award for the first time in nearly 30 years
In 1992 she won in this category again for her role as rookie FBI agent Clarice Starling in The Silence of the Lambs, which also won co-star Anthony Hopkins the Best Actor award – along with Best Picture, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay.
Days before her nomination, Jodie revealed why she didn’t tell her kids she was a Hollywood star while they were growing up.
‘I guess I just didn’t want them to know me that way,’ she said on The View in January. ‘I wanted them to know me as their mom and the person who went away to work and stuff.’
‘I just didn’t want them to be confused about what I did for a living,’ she added.
The Silence of the Lambs alum then hilariously recalled what her older son, Charles, 25, believed she did when she brought him to a film set every day.
‘And I was like, “Yeah, and this is this set and this set and this set”. And for a really long time, he thought I was a construction worker. He thought I did construction’.

With both Charles and her younger son, Christopher ‘Kit’, 22, now adults, Jodie was asked about whether she has watched any of her films with them.
‘They have no interest in watching my movies with me. I think they’re going to catch True Detective ’cause they’re really into that,’ she said of her HBO series.
‘There’s a few films that I would never show them because I would be worried about being teased, like Nell for example, they’ve never seen because they do tease me often about that, even though they’ve never seen the movie.’
Jodie shares her two sons with her former partner, Cydney Bernard. Foster is their biological mother, the biological father’s identity has not been made public.
Following their separation in 2008, the actress tied the knot with Alexandra Hedison in 2014.
