Jaimie Alexander rocked her long-sleeved sequined frock by Armani Prive and didn’t seem to mind the glaring sun. The Blindspot actress, who was spotted with a handheld fan, was one step ahead of a sweaty hairstyle by wearing her short brunette locks in a slicked back ‘do. She added a little more sparkle to her look with jewels from Baccarat, and her engagement ring from fiance Peter Facinelli, who proposed to the star in March.

Orange Is the New Black’s Taryn Manning sizzled in a midnight gown by Rubin Singer that featured a strategic design perfect for the heat: a cutout back that must have provided a little ventilation. The actress polished off the look in sandals by Jerome C. Rousseau.
