Lizzy Caplan and Joshua Jackson turned up the heat on Monday night when they both wore crimson looks to the star-studded Fatal Attraction premiere in Los Angeles.
Caplan, 40, oozed sex appeal in her sleek red satin dress while Jackson, 44 – who recently declared that ‘an affair can be forgiven’ – looked dapper in a tailored suit and white undershirt.
The pair’s big night celebrated their smoldering television remake of the iconic 1987 thriller that starred Glenn Close and Michael Douglas in career-defining roles.
Caplan is poised to tear up the screen as unhinged mistress Alex Forrest, who eventually terrorizes Jackson’s married man and his family after their weekend fling comes to an end.
The first three episodes will drop on Paramount + April 30 before a weekly release schedule.

Caplan and Jackson were joined by a handful of other stars who turned out to support the highly-anticipated series.
Sarah Paulson, 48, attended in a chic black suit as she posed alongside her close friend Amanda Peet, 51.
Peet is playing the wife of Jackson’s character in the show and she arrived wearing a gorgeous black dress with a plunging sheer neckline.
Actresses Carla Gallo and Elizabeth Reaser also showed up in classic black looks while Alyssa Jirrels dazzled in a shimmering silver gown.
Fatal Attraction was met with critical acclaim and became a box office smash in 1987, raking in $320.1 million worldwide.
The flick was nominated for six Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actress for Close.
While speaking to Entertainment Weekly in June, Joshua claimed the new series would be ‘an even more emotionally intense version of the story’ that is updated to the present date.
‘That allows us to update some of the sexual politics of the [movie], and because we have eight hours to tell the story, it also allows us to delve much more deeply into that Glenn Close character and… give a richer sense of how that woman became [who she is], and why she did the things that she did,’ he explained.

Jackson added: ‘That movie is basically every man’s worst nightmare come to life, and our show is a nightmare. It is a nightmare for men.’
The original film sparked a massive debate over sexual politics and spawned one of the most iconic scenes in cinema when Alex boiled the family bunny rabbit in a fit of psychotic rage.
The new series will reportedly have some major twists and updates for fans of the film.
And like Jackson said, one major element that the show will expand upon is Alex’s mental health, as the original movie did little to explore her descent into bunny-boiling madness.
