Wednesday 21 September 2022 02:32 AM Ana de Armas looks flirty in a black polkadot dress as she steps out in NYC trends now

Ana de Armas stepped out in New York City on Tuesday amid buzz surrounding her Marilyn Monroe portrayal in Netflix's Blonde.

The actress, 34, looked fresh and flirty in a black-and-white polkadot midi dress with a sweetheart neckline.

It had a ruffled skirt and long sleeves with tulip-style detailing on the shoulders.

She strolled the NYC sidewalk in a pair of silver lace-up sandals with a modest heel that gave her petite 5foot6inch frame a boost.

The Knock Knock star's shiny brunette hair cascaded down her back and chest in loose, voluminous waves.

She had a noticeably radiant complexion, with a generous amount of pink blush dusted on her cheeks.

Her hypnotic hazel eyes were accented with a shimmery champagne-toned eyeshadow and a subtle cateye flick.

Ana has been busy in recent weeks promoting her new film that focuses on the life of Hollywood blonde bombshell Marilyn Monroe.

She recently dished to AnOther magazine that she asked for Marilyn Monroe's 'permission' to play her when visiting her Los Angeles grave. 

'We got this big card and everyone in the crew wrote a message to her. Then we went to the cemetery and put it on her grave,' she said. 'We were asking for permission in a way. Everyone felt a huge responsibility, and we were very aware of the side of the story we were going to tell — the story of Norma Jeane, the person behind this character, Marilyn Monroe. Who was she really?'

She also said Blonde uses real incidents, but tries to fill in the moments in between what's known on the public record.
