Jessica Chastain and Husband Gian Luca Passi de Preposulo Have Fun Date Night at Tammy Faye Premiere
Jessica Chastain and her husband Gian Luca Passi de Preposulo enjoyed an elegant date night at the premiere of her new film The Eyes of Tammy Faye.
On Tuesday, the couple, who married in 2017, posed on red carpet together before the New York City premiere got underway. Chastain, 44, dazzled with a disco-inspired metallic silver sequin Burberry dress with matching Burberry heels and hoop earrings while her famous red hair was styled in voluminous curls.
"I'm ready to party," Chastain told PEOPLE (The TV Show!) on the red carpet. "I'm ready to celebrate the legacy of this woman who I never had the opportunity to meet, but I really grew to love her."
She continued, "So yes, I'm here for that." Of her stylish look, Chastain said, "This outfit is Disco Jesus."
After the screening, guests made their way to the Dream Hotel, where Casamigos signature cocktails were served. Chastain danced the night away in her '70s-inspired dress. Other guests at the premiere included fellow co-stars Vincent D'onofrio, Mark Wystrach and Cherry Jones, as well as Maggie Gyllenhaal and husband Peter Saarsgard, Isabelle Huppert, Sharon Stone, Zachary Quinto, Rudy Panko and fashion designer Jeremy Scott.
