Nicole teamed the halterneck top with a matching, figure-hugging red pencil skirt as she posed! for pho tographers, topping off the outfit with a pair of strappy black and silver sandals and a huge quiff in her hair.

After the premiere, Nicole tweeted: 'Amazing night at the NYC MiB3 Premiere! Wow, so much fun and a great experience! Make sure to see it friday! #MiBheartsNYC.'
