America Ferrera wore the most beautiful black dress, with a *little* surprise on top

It’s a good day when America Ferrera hits the red carpet. The talented young actress always looks flawless when she steps out for a big event, and the outfit she wore last night to the premiere of National Geographic’s Years of Living Dangerously was no exception.

Looking classically chic in a black sequin-embellished cocktail dress by Jenny Packham, Ferrera positively shone.

*Swoon*

What we love most about this look is that it takes the little black dress to the next level with those cascading black sequins on top.

Paired with a sleek top knot and pared-down makeup, this look is absolute perfection.

As for the show Years of Living Dangerously, Ferrera appears as a correspondent who asks tough questions and dives deep into the realities of climate change.

She explains why she took part in the show:

"I love storytelling. I love filmmaking. And there are issues in the world that I really care about. It's fun to get to do what I love and bring attention to things are obviously important to all of us."

Catch a glimpse of Ferrera doing her thing on Years in the clip below, and watch the next episode of the show on the National Geographic Channel on October 30th.
