The 30-year-old recently made her major lead debut in “Flag Day,” which was released in theaters this week, and has been busy promoting the film. The actress and model is frequently photographed heading to meetings and screenings, and she always makes sure to put her best foot forward with her sartorial choices.

The red double-breasted blazer and wide-legged pants were from the Beirut-born couturier’s Spring 2021 ready-to-wear collection. The actress was spotted in New York wearing an Elie Saab design.

Drawing on elements of rituals and ceremonies, the collection featured Saab’s signature embellished gowns and beaded, sheer numbers that could easily transition into the evening alongside daywear pieces like tailored separates and jumpsuits. Penn accessorized the power suit with nude sandals, a black clutch and a face mask. Penn wore the ensemble to a pre-screening of “Flag Day” at the SVA Theatre in New York. Following the screening, the actress and her father sat down for a Q&A to discuss the father-daughter drama, directed by Sean. Based on a true story, the film made its world premiere at the Cannes International Film Festival in July. Dylan, takes on the role of Jennifer Vogel, the daughter of Sean’s John Vogel — a man who raised her in a fantastical world but has a con-artist past that Jennifer is forced to come to grips with as an adult. The film is adapted from the real-life Jennifer Vogel’s 2004 memoir “Flim-Flam Man: A True Family History.” Dylan has dabbled before in acting but “Flag Day” is easily her biggest role yet. The daughter of Hollywood star Robin Wright said that she initially turned down the chance to star in her father’s new film the first time he offered her the lead role when she was a teenager. “He asked me when I was around 15, 16, and I solidly said ‘no.’ I never thought I wanted to act and I just felt like I was too young,” Penn, now 30, said. “And then, 15 years later, I think after having real life experience I felt like ‘OK, I can draw from my life, reference my experiences and maybe color this character a little bit more.’”
