Alexis Bledel longsleeve dress

Cute Alexis Bledel in a maroon longsleeve dress at Ford's Theatre in Washington DC for The American Film Company's premiere of her new movie, The Conspirator, on April 10 2011. Alexis carried a Cecelia natural python clutch and was wearing Alejandro Ingelmo gold strap peep toe pumps. The longsleeve dress is from designer Stella McCartney's Pre-Fall 2011 collection. Directed by legendary actor Robert Redford, The Conspirator is based on the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. Robin Wright plays Mary Surratt, one of the 'conspirators' to the assassination, who was tried and convicted, and became the first woman to be hanged by the United States federal government.

Bledel plays the role of Sarah Weston, wife of the lawyer who defends Suratt in court, and gets to wear period clothes: "the art department had original photographs and they basically re-created shots in the film." Alexis, who at 29 still looks like a sweet young girl, will next play a teen assassin in Violet & Daisy. Taken aback at being offered a teenager's role, Bledel remarked, "It’s bizarre. I really couldn't believe it. I thought they had it wrong."
