Rachel McAdams, 45, is effortlessly chic in a very plunging vest and fitted trousers as she leads stars at 90th Annual Drama League Awards in New York City
Rachel McAdams showed off her chic sense of style as she made an appearance at the star-studded, 90th Annual Drama League Awards in New York City on Friday.
The Notebook actress, 45 - who recently put on a radiant display while attending the Tony Awards nominees luncheon - joined other celebrities on the red carpet, such as Sarah Paulson and Succession's Jeremy Strong, at The Ziegfeld Ballroom.
The ceremony notably 'bestows honors in seven categories' including the Distinguished Performance Award - which is 'the oldest theatrical honor in the United States,' per the official website.
McAdams - who has been nominated a Tony Award for Best Actress in a Play for her role in Mary Jane - stunned at the event in a long, sleeveless black vest with a deep, plunging neckline at the front.
She slipped into a pair of fitted, matching trousers that contained a hem that concealed the shoes she donned for the festivities.

The beauty opted for minimal accessories, and added dainty earrings as well as a few rings on each of her hands.
Her long locks were parted to the side, and effortlessly flowed down past her shoulders in elegant waves.
Rachel's makeup was classically done, and comprised of a layer of mascara to her lashes as well as a light shadow around her eyes.
A warm blush was added to her cheekbones for a radiant glow, while a light pink, satin tint was worn on her lips for a finishing touch.
McAdams struck a variety of poses on the red carpet shortly before the main event kicked off, and at one point, crossed paths with playwright, Amy Herzog.
Herzog - who was stylish in a short-sleeved, patterned dress - wrote the semi-autobiographical play that Rachel is currently starring in.
Mary Jane initially opened back in 2017 at the Yale Repertory Theatre and had its Broadway debut with McAdams in the leading role last month in April. The play is set to end shows later next month on June 30.
During a recent interview with Broadway.com, the actress opened up about the difference of working on a play versus film or television.

'Yeah, it's very different from doing film or television. The workout my brain is going through to learn all these lines and then not just throw them away, you know?' she explained.
'In film and television, you learn a page, you throw it away, you never see it again until maybe a reshoot a year later.'
Rachel humorously added, 'I love coming to work in my pajamas and staying in them. Film and television, you might show up in your pajamas, but you're not gonna stay that way.'
'So, as you know, just kind of not thinking about hair and makeup, and just really getting into the nitty gritty and the meat of it everyday...,' the star continued.
Rachel also talked about being in front of a live crowd and stated, 'That sizzle of playing with an audience, and talking to them, and whatever they're gonna give back.'
'And I've been told you can hear everything, you can - you really do feel them so palpably, so I'm sort of terrified of that, and also looking forward to it.'
