Eiza Gonzalez was the epitome of chic in a beige pinstriped co-ord as she was seen leaving the Chiltern Firehouse on Thursday night.
The 3 Body Problem sensation, 34, showcased her toned physique in a very stylish ensemble which included a sleeveless buttoned waistcoat teamed with matching tailored smart trousers.
The Mexican actress looked glowing while making her way out of the celebrities’ favourite hotspot, sporting camel stiletto boots.
She accessorised with a brown shoulder bag and a dainty necklace, as she was snapped chatting and laughing closely with a friend.
The Ambulance favourite looked in really high spirits as she made her way to the car, just a few weeks after the success of her latest leading role in Netflix‘s fantasy sci-fi drama 3 Body Problem.

The eight-part series, which reportedly had a budget of £125million, begins in Communist China during the height of mad despot Chairman Mao’s genocide in the 1960s, before leaping forward to Britain in the present day where scientists are being driven out of their senses, and killed, by unexplained phenomena.
It then echoes across space and time to a group of scientists in the present, forcing them to face humanity’s greatest threat.
Computer engineer and science fiction writer Liu Ciux’s The Three-Body Problem – the first in a trilogy of novels called Remembrance of Earth’s Past – was firmly placed in the ‘unadaptable’ category due to being filled to the brim with scientific jargon.
The Netflix synopsis reads: ‘Across continents and decades, five brilliant friends make earth-shattering discoveries as the laws of science unravel and an existential threat emerges.’
Alongside Eiza – which plays the leading role of brilliant nanotech scientist Agustina ‘Auggie’ Salazar – star Doctor Strange favourite Benedict Wong, New Zealand actress Jess Hong, Game Of Thrones alum Liam Cunningham and more.
It debuted on the giant streaming platform on March 21, but it seems producers are already thinking about following it up.
The series creators DB Weiss, David Benioff (the Game of Thrones duo) and Alexander Woo (True Blood) said they have already pretty much figured out what should happen down the road.
When at SXSW in Austin, Texas they talked to Collider about what fans can expect in the future.

They said there is already an outline for new seasons and they could probably start shooting the second season by the fall of this year.
Benioff commented that the idea is for seasons one and two to pretty much follow the arcs from the first two volumes of Cixin Liu’s trilogy of books that inspired the show.
When asked if season two was ready, Weiss said, ‘We’re doing it now.’
Benioff also told Collider: ‘For season two we’ve got better than a rough idea. We’re much farther along with that plan than rough idea stages.
‘From there on out it becomes, you know, the farther away things get the hazier your view of them is.
‘But there, in the third book, there’s so many amazing landmarks, in terms of scenes and situations and events that we can see pretty clearly, that we know, we’re not completely sure how our characters are gonna get to that place, but we know they gotta get to that place. Because that place and that place and that place are the reason we pick these books up and wanted to adapt them in the first place.’
Benioff said a new approach would be needed for the third novel in the series.
He said, ‘The third book is massive. It’s twice as long, I think, as the other two books.
‘So maybe that’s one season, maybe it’s two. But, you know, I think we’d need at least three, maybe four seasons to tell the whole story.’
And Benioff said the ending of the trilogy is ‘beautiful,’ and that ‘the last page of Cixin Liu’s epic was maybe the best final image we’d encountered in a sci-fi saga like this. It’s just incredibly moving and mind-blowing.’
It is not known how long Netflix will greenlight the project.
Weiss added it is ‘a very labor-intensive show and it doesn’t get less labor-intensive. It doesn’t get easier to make, it gets harder to make.’
That means they cannot shoot several seasons at once, but if they were asked to they might be able to work something out.
Although, not all the viewers have been impressed by the hotly-anticipated sci-fi series – with many reviewing it as both dull and too confusing.
Writing for the Daily Mail, Christopher Stevens said: ‘Like a rocket disintegrating on lift-off, the show promptly hurtles off in several directions at once – with some parts ploughing straight into the ground. Benioff and Weiss have no idea whether they’re making a philosophical thriller, a historical epic about the cultural revolution, a bog-standard crime drama (complete with shambling, chain-smoking maverick copper who has one last chance to save his career), a rom-com, a horror movie or a trailer for a video game.

‘The result is that everything looks derivative and unconvincing. Worst of all, as the British researchers tell each other repeatedly that “science is broken”, there are long stretches of teeth-grinding boredom.’
Writing for The Guardian, Lucy Mangan slammed the writers’ attempt at emulating their Games Of Thrones success. She wrote: ‘There are puzzles to solve, if you are capable, but nothing and no one to root for.
‘Even its design as a metaphor for the climate crisis and human inertia in the face of potential doom doesn’t give it enough heft – in fact, such is the way of these things, it may even serve to alienate us further from emotional engagement. It won’t be Netflix’s answer to Game of Thrones.’
