The 31-year-old tucked a grey button-down shirt into her Trave jeans, as she carried a grey knit Fendi crossbody bag, trimmed in fringe.

She recently appeared in the trailer for her upcoming film Son Of The South, which premieres in February, executive produced by Spike Lee and based on Bob Zellner’s 2008 autobiography The Wrong Side of Murder Creek.

Hale stars as Carol Anne, girlfriend of Bob (Lucas Till), a Klansman’s grandson who comes of age in the deep south and ultimately joins the Civil Rights Movement.  

It comes after she hosted Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve in Times Square, alongside Billy Porter and 16-time host Ryan Seacrest.

She took to Instagram after the televised festivities, writing: ‘Got to close out 2020 surrounded by some great humans, in heels, sparkly masks , & in an empty Times Square. We celebrated frontline workers, nurses, doctors, teachers, police officers who were the real MVPs of the year. 

‘Stood in awe of JLo and chugged atleast 5 La Colombe Oat draft lattes. Started 2021 surrounded by McNuggets & fries. Thank you to all who made it safely possible for us to come back this year ! Happy freakin new year everyone.’

The Katy Keene actress shared some behind-the-scenes photos in her party look, a white pantsuit trimmed in red, over a red sequined bra, with a fuzzy red overcoat and silver metallic stilettos.
