Jessica Chastain Manages to Make a Wrist Cast Look Chic
Jessica Chastain has already proven she’s a master of style on the red carpet and a master of change on screen. On Tuesday, June 4, the actress combined both — all with a simple wrist cast she managed to make work as a chic accessory at the world premiere of Dark Phoenix at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.

Walking into the Jimmy Kimmel studios that afternoon, she also showed a black cast pops against orangey-red. On that occasion, the Academy Award nominated actress paired her newest favorite accessory with a fitted, short-sleeve turtleneck dress.
Fashion hasn’t been her only concern in this health crisis. The night before her surgery she posted a video, which a fan Twitter account picked up, of herself sharing the news of the medical procedure. “Guess who’s getting surgery tomorrow.
