Heather Graham looked stunning as she arrived at the Shanghai International Film Festival this evening.
The 42-year-old was radiant in a sleeveless white gown covered in splashes of blue, red and yellow, with transparent sequins stitched across the chest.
Heather kept her accessories to a minimum, carrying a small gold clutch, and wore towering patent nude heels.

With her long blonde hair loose and natural make-up- bar a slick of eyeliner and mascara to define her eyes- Heather could easily have passed for a woman ten years younger.
Heather is joined by Chinese actress Li Bingbing, producer Terence Chang and Chinese director Zhang Yang, Hungarian film director Bela Tarr, director Rakhshan Bani-Etemad and Jean-Jacques Annaud to judge the Golden Goblet prize at the Shanghai Film Festival.
The event features around 300 Chinese and foreign films at 28 cinemas across the city.
