Dressed in a spaghetti strap cocktail dress which draped across her bump, the 38-year-old mother of two looked serene as she promoted new film Butter at the film festival.
But protective of her growing tummy, the six months pregnant star kept a hand over it at all times.
Co-star Olivia Wilde, 26, could not have looked more angelic as she graced the red carpet in a flowing floor length Greek goddess style dress with light pleating and encrusted with gold embellishment around the neckline and cuffs.
It is just one of many roles Olivia has played this year after embarking on almost a dozen movie projects as well as her role on FOX's hit TV show House MD.
One of the films, which is currently in pre-production, will see her portray the famous sixties adult film star Linda Lovelace.
Olivia was joined on the carpet at the première by her co-stars in the film Ashley Greene, Jennifer Garner and Alicia Silverstone.
All three ladies, like Olivia, chose to add a touch of sparkle to their outfits.
ennifer, 38, who is six months pregnant with her third child, looked radiant in a blush coloured cocktail dress with silver sequins.
Despite her growing baby bump, Jennifer paired the pretty gown with towering platform peep-toe stilettos.
Ashley, 24, looked conservative in a white and silver shift dress which she elegantly paired with simple black pumps while Alicia, sporting a more natural dark blonde hair colour, rocked a dazzling silver and grey dress with black edging.
The films male lead, Hugh Jackman, was unable to make the première as he is in London promoting his other movie, Real Steel.
Movie fans, though, may find some real-world familiarity in another character -- namely, Olivia Wilde's Brooke, a brash stripper who attempts to beat Laura at her own game. She seems, it may slowly occur to you, an awful lot like Diablo Cody. (Weinstein Co. isn't releasing any official photos yet of Wilde in the role, but some fan sites have posted some.)
Cody is the voluble and self-mythologizing screenwriter behind movies like "Juno" and "Jennifer's Body." The similarities between her and Wilde's character are subtle but unmistakable.
Like Brooke, Cody was once a stripper and is covered in upper-body tattoos. Like Brooke, Oscar winner Cody has a certain swagger and also sought to reinvent herself in another discipline that doesn't involve pole dancing, in the hope of landing a big prize.
Oh, and Cody's real first-name? Brooke.
Screenwriter Jason Micaleff acknowledges he had the "Juno" writer in mind--sort of.
"Slightly inspired by Diablo (who is thrilled and excited to see it, I hear)," he replied in an email when we put the question to him.
Micallef said that, perhaps unlike some of the more barbed portrayals of U.S. politicians, he intended the Brooke character as homage. "I was intrigued by the idea of a wickedly smart stripper," he said.
Micallef also wrote that the character carried a larger meaning too. "Brooke thematically represents anarchy, which is why, in a time when everyone hates the government, audiences love her so much."
He then offered that the character had her own Twitter address (@BrookeTokyoRose), an act of self-branding that might befit, well, Diablo Cody.
("Butter" is slated for general release next year, but if you can't wait that long, it will get a brief one-week run in theaters at the end of October.)
