She radiated timeless elegance in a soft blush-pink gown. The floor-length dress featured a draped off-the-shoulder neckline with delicate straps and subtle ruching at the bodice, flowing into a graceful skirt with a gentle train that swept along the red carpet.

The back of the gown revealed a low-cut design tied with a bow detail, offering a glimpse of her large floral back tattoo. She styled her hair in a sleek, pulled-back bun, and accessorized with statement drop earrings.

"During a visit to the Manhattan Jewish Community Center, Eleanor stumbles her way into a support group for Holocaust survivors and, joining their circle, begins to tell her own story," a synopsis of the film reads.

"Except, unbeknownst to everyone listening, it isn't Eleanor's story — it's Bessie's," the description adds. "Eleanor the Great" comes out on September 26.
