Wilde strolled around the premiere venue in a pair of black platform boots.
Her light brown locks were styled straight with a center part.
As for makeup, the natural beauty opted for smudged black eyeliner and a light nude-toned lip.
During her red carpet stint, Wilde mingled with singer-songwriter Santigold, whose self-titled debut studio album received widespread critical acclaim for its cross-genre combining dub, new wave and hip-hop.
After her triumphant arrival as a musical artist in 2008, the 47-year-old has gone on to drop three more LPs, all of which have been critical and commercial successes.
For the big premiere on Thursday, Santigold (born Santi White) looked effortlessly cool in a baggy top and velour trousers with red accents.
To top off the look, she threw on a camouflage baseball cap over a long black headdress with silver sequins.
Blink Twice stars Kravitz's fiancé Channing Tatum as billionaire tech mogul Slater King, who charms cocktail waitress Frida (Naomi Ackie).
After the two escape to the tycoon's private island with his friends, Frida's friend vanishes, and she must investigate the mystery behind her disappearance.

Along with Ackie and Tatum the cast also features Christian Slater, Simon Rex, Adria Arjona, Kyle MacLachlan, Haley Joel Osment, Geena Davis, Simon Rex and Alia Shawkat, many of which attended the promotional event.
Both director Zoe and Channing were on hand for Thursday premiere in LA.
The lovebirds began dating in August 2021 after Kravtiz's divorce from ex Karl Glusman was finalized.
Alicia Keys, Nicole Dean, Laura Dern, Reese Witherspoon, Deacon Reese Phillippe, Ricky Ullman, Reid Carolin, Stacy Perskie, Alejandro Reza, Twin Shadow, Daniel Moon, Liz Caribel, Peter Kiernan, Trew Mullen, and Tiffany Persons were also on hand for the premiere.
Kravitz not only helmed her first feature film of her career she also co-wrote the screenplay with E.T. Feigenbaum, which is a similar path taken by pal Wide in recent years.
Wilde had an established career as an actress with a number of acclaimed roles since 2004 before eventually stepping behind the camera to direct.
She got her fist taste of the job with the short film Free Hugs (2011), but that led her to her debut as a director for a feature with Booksmart (2019), a coming-of-age comedy starring Kaitlyn Dever and Beanie Feldstein as two graduating high school girls who set out to finally break the rules and party on their last day of classes.

The cast also featured Jessica Williams, Lisa Kudrow, Will Forte and Jason Sudeikis, the ex-partner of Wilde and father to her two children.
Booksmart received critical acclaim and grossed $25 million at the worldwide box office on a $6 million budget.
Wilde has since gone on to direct another short film Wake Up (2020) and to direct and star in her second feature, Don't Worry Darling, with a cast including Florence Pugh, Harry Styles, Gemma Chan, KiKi Layne, Nick Kroll, Chris Pine, in 2022.
With a budget of $20-35 million and a drama-plagued press tour, the psychological thriller film, written by Katie Silberman, ended up grossing $87.6 million at the box office.
Blink Twice is scheduled to be released in the United States by Amazon MGM Studios on August 23.
