Jessica Chastain paid tribute to Tammy Faye Bakker with a retro glam look on the red carpet for the premiere of her new film about the renowned televangelist.

The two-time Oscar nominee, 44, made a stylish statement at the The Eyes of Tammy Faye viewing, rocking voluminous curls and a disco-inspired metallic silver sequin Burberry dress with matching heels (also Burberry) and hoop earrings.

"If there's any movie that I'm gonna go wild with hair and makeup, in honor of Tammy Faye, it's gonna be this one, right?" Chastain said on Instagram Live as she traveled through New York City on her way to the premiere.

Chastain recently told L'Officiel about her love for fashion and showed off her red carpet looks over the years. "I don't know how to describe it, but each outfit that I have the opportunity to wear makes me feel like a different kind of woman," she said.

She also said she loved getting glam for her new movie. In a feature about the upcoming project, The Eyes of Tammy Faye, exclusive to PEOPLE, Chastain is seen undergoing a total transformation in order to portray the renowned televangelist with intense makeup, prosthetics and wigs.

"It was the best part I've ever played and it was great fun to kind of sink my teeth into it," Chastain said in the clip of the serious biopic makeover.
