A regular fixture at Paris Fashion Week, the 30-year-old Not Okay star had to forgo the fall/winter runway shows to play Emily Webb in Our Town, the Kenny Leon-directed revival of the Thornton Wilder play that also stars Jim Parson and Katie Holmes. But she seamlessly stepped back into the style circuit week at the Longchamp soirée held at Long Island City’s The Foundry and featured a vegetable-forward menu created by James Beard Award-winning chef and Emmy-nominated TV host Sophia Roe.

Guests donned head-to-toe Longchamp: Deutch wore a khaki leather safari jacket, sleeveless top and skirt with black leather Roseau ballerina flats. Other attendees included Grown-ish star Amelie Zilber, Bachelorette alumn Tayshia Adams, dancer and actress Larsen Thompson, actress Elysée Sanvillé and models Coco Rocha and Flaviana Matata.

Dinner courses included roasted baby artichokes, cacio e pepe grissini with herb-pressed flatbreads, portobello mushroom milanese with Italian radicchio and chicory salad and spring pavlova topped with charred grapefruit and cara cara oranges. The menu paid homage to Longchamp’s spring/summer collection, which was inspired by creative director Sophie Delafontaine’s home garden in southern France. Leather and suede Roseau carryalls come in hues of beet red, cedar green, ginger yellow and root beige, while cotton canvas totes come in pumpkin orange gingham. Womenswear boasted patterns that call to mind countryside vegetable patches, as seen in trousers with artichoke floral prints, gardener smock-inspired embroidered dresses and suede overalls, knit separates in green herb hues and more.

Deutch was last seen on screen in Clint Eastwood’s legal drama, Juror #2, and next stars in The Threesome, which premieres next month at SXSW in Austin. And about Deutch’s recent stint in France: the actress portrays New Wave film star Jean Seberg in Richard Linklater’s Nouvelle Vague, about the making of Jean-Luc Goddard’s 1960 film, Breathless.

Deutch, who works with THR power stylist Elizabeth Stewart, took a break during dinner hosting duties to chat about the first time she encountered Longchamp, which bag she’s reaching for from the brand’s spring collection, whether she still has “granny style” and her latest film premiering at SXSW.

When was the first time you were introduced to Longchamp?

I definitely stole my mom’s classic tote bag, the Pliage, in classic black, of course. And the thing that’s so great about that classic bag is it is so durable and classic and well-made that I think when I stole it from my mom, she had had it for 20 years and now I’ve had it for 20 years and it still looks fantastic. So I love that they are chic and timeless and really functional as well. I just lived in France for a little bit and I feel like they really do embody the French craftsmanship very well. Also, you can wash it, which is great.

You once told us years ago when we featured you with Elizabeth Stewart for our Power Stylists issue that you have “granny style.” Is that still true?

I remember saying in that interview, I never know how to talk about my style, unfortunately, just because it is so dependent on the day and what I’m doing and where I’m going. I very rarely factor weather into it, which is not a very smart choice of mine — which is why I’m wearing a mini skirt in 30-degree weather right now. But it’s always dependent on my mood. But yeah, it just changes all the time, which is what’s so fun about fashion and style. You don’t have to stick to one thing, it’s different every day.

We wish we were in New York for the dinner! How’s the party going?

This event is for the Roseau bag, the theme is sort of garden-infused and very summery, even though it’s winter here. I’m looking at it right now and it kind of reminds me of a really cute basket that you can put all your vegetables in. It’s very practical, but very stylish. And I’m excited that they’re going to come out with some with gold hardware; I’m a real gold gal. That sounds dumb — I like gold, is really what I should say. It’s a really cool, a neat bag. It feels like an ode to their ’90s stuff as well.

Now that Our Town is done, how did that fill your cup, so to speak, in a way that is different from your work on screen?

It was an amazing and total life-changing, wonderful experience. I can only speak to this specific experience, but it was so fulfilling and fun and intense and joyous, and I think just the active obvious nature of getting to do what you getting to act for an entire hour and a half straight with nothing interrupting its process is so rewarding. It seems obvious, but when I’m more used to the medium of stop and start and notes and changing the lens and going to break. And so having just the opportunity to get to do 144 shows of zero interruption or any other element other than just getting to act with so fun and different and special and a departure from what I’m used to. But I loved it so much and I feel so grateful. I love the people that I got to work with.

The audience feedback must have been amazing to experience.

We had 28 cast members in the show, and it starts to feel like the audience becomes the 29th cast member. They’re such an integral, amazing part of the experience, of course. That seems obvious, but it’s ever changing and it’s really, it’s fun because it adds an element of huge surprise that you can never anticipate what’s going to happen, which makes it fun.

The title might make it seem obvious, but what can you share about your film, The Threesome, which premieres at SWXW next month?

The title definitely gives away something! If you haven’t read anything about it, you’ll be surprised by what it is actually about. But I just loved making this movie. We shot it in Little Rock, Arkansas about this time last year. It’s with Ruby Cruz who’s just a wonderful person and actress, and Jonah Hauer-King. It’s directed by Chad Hartigan, and we had just the best time making it. I’m so, so excited to get to share it in a month or so. I think people are going to love it. I certainly do. I feel really, really grateful that I got to be a part of it and work with them. I love them.

Any more Broadway roles coming up?

Oh, I would love to. I would love to do another play. I should be so lucky. I’m not sure what that would be, but I would love to come back if I’m allowed. I had the best time. I have some exciting things that I’m working on this year, films that I’m going to do, and I have a couple that are coming out, so I’m excited. I’m excited that January is done and we can count this as the new year, and it’s all going to be upwards.
