The former Desperate Housewives star wore lashings of make-up to highlight her pretty features, opting for some gold eye shadow.
She seemed in good spirits before leaving for the event, waving to onlookers as she posed on the balcony at the Martinez Hotel.
The Old Oak, written by Paul Laverty and directed by Ken Loach, tells the story of a pub landlord in an old mining community who struggles to hold onto the business as one of the last public places people in the town can meet.
Director Ken has had a hugely successful career, known for films like Kes and The Wind That Shakes the Barley.
But the filmmaker is unsure he will ever work on another project again, citing his old age and declining eyesight.
He told The Hollywood Reporter: ‘I’m just not sure I can get around the court again. It’s like an old nag at the Grand National. You think: ‘Good God, I’ll be falling at the first fence!’
He added: ‘Films take a couple of years and I’ll be nearly 90. And your facilities do decline. Your short-term memory goes and my eyesight is pretty rubbish now, so it’s quite tricky.’
It comes after Hollywood actresses Eva and Rebel Wilson were among those returning to the star-studded amfAR gala in Cannes to raise money for Aids research in Cannes on Thursday.
