Rachel Brosnahan looked sensational arriving at a Met Gala after-party on Monday night in New York City.
The 32-year-old actress showed off her legs in a strapless black dress with a thigh zip as she headed into The Standard Hotel.
She accentuated her cinched waist with a black leather belt and accessorized her look with a chunky gold necklace.
The star of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel carried her essentials around in a miniature handbag and added inches to her enviable figure with black heels.
She had immaculately applied a full face with makeup to emphasize her natural beauty and pulled her chocolate brown locks into an elegant ponytail.

The 2023 Met Gala returned Monday night, and everyone from Kim Kardashian to Paris Hilton attended the annual fundraiser.
Since 1948, stars have been climbing the majestic staircase to a very exclusive party where no selfies are allowed.
Traditionally, the event took place on the first Monday in May. It was supposed to start on May 1st, 2023 at 6:30pm EST.
This year, the theme of the ball was Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty. The late German designer was the creative director of Chanel for many years. He passed away in 2019 at the age of 85.
Even his beloved cat, Choupette, was invited to the celebrations.
The decision to honor Karl has sparked controversy, from criticizing the #MeToo movement to opposing same-sex marriage, given the many offensive remarks he’s made over the years.
“I’m against it for a very simple reason: in the 1960s everyone said we were entitled to the difference. And now all of a sudden they want a middle-class life,” he told Vice of same-sex marriage.
“Hard to imagine – one of the dads at work and the other at home with the baby. How about that for the baby? I don’t know. I see more lesbians married with babies than boys married with babies. And I also believe in the relationship between mother and child more than that between father and child.”

While he finally showed his support for same-sex marriage at his Chanel haute couture show in spring 2013, he still said he was “less keen” on same-sex couples adopting children, according to the AP.
Along with Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour, who directs and hosts the annual event, the 2023 Met Gala was also co-hosted by Penelope Cruz, Dua Lipa, Michaela Coel and also Roger Federer.
While the show may be known for its glitzy and over-the-top red carpet — with details of what’s happening inside they often remain mysterious — at its core, it’s a fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute.
Last year, the 2022 Met Gala alone brought in a grand total of $17.4 million, Billboard reported.
This year, according to Page Six, the ticket price went up from $30,000 to $50,000.
Even if you have the funds, that doesn’t guarantee you entry into the party.
Every guest must be invited, and there is a waiting list for the coveted golden ticket.
And status matters, according to The New York Times, which means the hottest stars are quick to turn up for an invite.
Paris Hilton was among the big names attending her first Met Gala this year.
Meanwhile, Blake Lively, a frequent attendee, announced she would not be at the party.
“I’ll watch,” she said, according to People.
Elle Fanning, Kim Kardashian and La La Anthony were among the other celebrities in attendance.
As for Wintour’s role at the bash, Vogue’s editor-in-chief is organizing the party and overseeing the guest list and even the menu.
She has chaired the Met Gala since 1994 and continues to oversee each event.
