It’s pretty rare to see a celebrity over the age of 40 rocking a pastel pink ensemble. While pretty, the shade of pink can exude childishness if worn incorrectly. However, every so often, a woman braves the trend and ends up walking out of the experience unscathed.

41-year-old Michelle Monaghan recently gave us a breathtaking pink look as she attended an NBCUniversal TV Emmy party held in Los Angeles.

Michelle bravely layered one pink item on top of the other, with the exception of her shoes. The actress wore a gorgeous pleated J. Mendel dress with puffy sleeves, a full skirt and a faux sweetheart neckline.

Michelle accessorized her look with an embellished Miu Miu clutch and a pair of nude Céline d’orsay pumps. The actress topped her look with a lace coat.

Michelle doesn’t wear pink often but when she does, she makes sure she works it. Her long limbs and slender frame gave her pink J. Mendel dress us a luxurious ballerina feel. We also love that she kept her hair in a casual blowout, balancing out the formality of her outfit.

The actress was seen grabbing a huge box of macarons from her “The Path” co-star Aaron Paul.
