Darling! Maggie Gyllenhaal covered up her fantastic figure in a long pantsuit for the 13th Annual New York Television Festival on Thursday night

The Dark Knight starlet wore a knee-length coat with quirky openings along the sides of her sleeves.

Large black and white flowers grazed the unique ensemble which featured a high neckline and biased-cut seem on top.

Her monochrome trousers were hemmed at the ankles which looked perfectly tailored to fit her long and lean figure.

Maggie added a pop of color to her subdued outfit with a pair of bright red pumps that perfectly matched her crimson colored lipstick.

Peeks of her golden hoop earrings popped through her short chocolate brown hair, which was parted to the side and worn in loose curls.

Her racy new show got even steamier in the latest episode as her alter-ego becomes an escort for a rich client, but ends up feeling degraded when the married businessman throws her out of his hotel room after having rough sex.

The Donnie Darko actress, who plays sex worker Eileen ‘Candy’ Merrell in the HBO show, is also seen getting to work on a porn film with her co-star Lori (Emily Meade). 

Talk about it! Maggie added a pop of color to her subdued outfit with a pair of bright red pumps that perfectly matched her crimson colored lipstick.

Maggie’s character also talks Lori and her co-star Andy through a difficult sex scene with some explicit dirty talk. 

The Deuce, which is set in New York City during the seedy ’70s, had courted controversy with its very explicit scenes and full-frontal nudity.

While the acclaimed actress doesn’t hold back onscreen, Maggie confesses she had some reservations about taking on the risque role.

As the mom of two young daughters, Ramona, 11, and Gloria, five, with husband of eight years Peter Sarsgaard, 46, the Secretary star says she did consider her kids before agreeing to the role.
