The actress explained she had kept her newly shaved head a secret for nearly a month and that it was part of the look for upcoming movie We Live in Time, in which she stars opposite Andrew Garfield.

"It was required for the job that I happily wanted to do and I thought what is the best way to release it to the world than at the Met," the Met first-timer told the press on the red carpet.

"I've been keeping it under wraps for about three weeks now," she added.

"I'm very happy to have it here with this look, it makes everything perfect."
