Roberts was dressed in a sleek black turtleneck dress that fell to just above her ankles and featured slightly oversized sleeves.

The Unfabulous star paired her outfit with a set of heeled shoes and a crossbody leather purse that she kept slung over her left shoulder.

Although the actress appeared to be making the most of her time at the small event, she is currently prepping to work on several film projects.

Roberts is set to take the lead role in the upcoming drama Now I See You, which will be helmed by The Notebook’s director, Nick Cassavetes.

The forthcoming feature will serve as an adaptation of Nicole Kear’s 2014 memoir of the same name, with a screenplay being written by Marc Klein.

The story follows a young Yale student who suddenly learns that she is losing her eyesight and attempts to mke the most of the time she has before she is not able to see anymore.

Now I See You is currently in the pre-production stage and currently does not have a set release date.

The actress will also lead the cast of the forthcoming romantic comedy About Fate.

The feature is set to be directed by Marius Balchunas from a screenplay by Tiffany Paulsen, who also wrote the 2007 Roberts-starring feature, Nancy Drew.

About Fate is centered on two hopeless romantics who end up crossing paths during a hectic New Year’s Eve, after which their night slowly goes awry.

Roberts’ co-stars have not been announced and the project is currently in the pre-production stage with a release date not currently in place. 

Roberts welcomed son Rhodes, four months, with boyfriend Garrett Hedlund, 36, in December.
