Sandra had all eyes on her outside the studio in her blazer, which was cut like a double-breasted jacket but was missing buttons.

The wide-open look highlighted her toned midriff and her short crop top, which was partially obscured by her long brunette tresses, which she parted down the middle.

The Bird Box star matched her top to navy high-waisted slacks that were enlivened by thick stripes of yellow and hot pink on the sides.

She completed her look with pointy copper-colored heels, and she carried around a black mask ahead of entering the studio.

Earlier, Fox News reported that the star had weighed in on her future career plans during a Q & A session with the audience after the screening of her new movie The Lost City.

‘I am just going to take some time to be a mom,’ Sandra said at the SXSW Film Festival in Austin, Texas, before flying to New York.

The Blind Side actress has two adopted children, Louis, 11, and Laila, eight.

The Oscar winner shed some light on when she might resume her professional career later in the Q & A.

When an audience member asked her if she planned to work on more film projects within the Hispanic and Chicana communities, she responded, ‘I love stories that show the imperfection of love within families and communities.’

Sandra added, ‘I would love to [continue doing that] when I’m done being a mom.

‘I’ll get back to it. I don’t know when. Probably when they’re teenagers, solidly 16- or 17-year-olds.’

The performer also confirmed her career hiatus in an interview with Entertainment Tonight on Monday.

Telling the media outlet that she was unsure how long her break would last, Sandra explained that at the moment, she needed to be ‘in the place that makes me happiest.’

She told ET, ‘I take my job very seriously when I’m at work,’ adding that her work is ’24/7′ job.

‘And I just want to be 24/7 with my babies and my family.

‘That’s where I’m gonna be for a while,’ she explained.

Sandra went on to say that her future schedule would entail, ‘servicing their every need’ and ‘their social calendar.’

She added, ‘All the parents know me as the crazy lady with the pandemic.’

‘They know their children will return without COVID when they’ve come to our house.’

The Miss Congeniality star will next be seen playing a romance novelist in The Lost City alongside Brad Pitt, Channing Tatum and Daniel Radcliffe.

During her interview with ET, Sandra joked about a scene in the upcoming action/comedy in which Channing exposes his bare behind.

‘Channing is so comfortable with [himself],’ Sandra said. ‘He knew it was for a comedy, he wasn’t trying to be serious.

‘He worked really hard to make sure when his rear end turned into frame that it was perfect. I mean, I looked, I look for imperfections and I did not see any.’

She continued, ‘It’s very smooth. We didn’t have to do any, like, visual effects fixes. It’s just like a little baby’s bottom.’

The Virginia native is also starring in the 2022 action thriller Bullet Train with Zazie Beetz, Brad Pitt, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Joey King.

Sandra shares parenting duties with her longtime boyfriend Bryan Randall, who she has called, ‘the love of my life’.

The actress was in the process of adopting her second child when things got serious with the photographer – who she went public with in 2015 – and they now share both her children, and his daughter from a previous relationship.

‘I found the love of my life, we share two beautiful children – three children, his older daughter – it’s the best thing ever,’ Sandra said on Red Table Talk last December, referencing the 55-year-old snapper.

She met Bryan when she hired him as a photographer to take pictures at her son’s birthday, and described him as a ‘saint’ after she informed him she was adopting a second child when they ‘hadn’t been together that long.’

‘I said, “Remember that NDA you signed when you photographed my son?” I said, “You know, that still holds.” He said “Why?” I said, “I’m bringing a child home when I come back from Toronto,'” Sandra explained.

‘He was so happy, but he was scared. I’m a bulldozer. My life was already on the track and here’s this beautiful human being who doesn’t want anything to do with my life, but the right human being to be there.’

She also described her partner as being ‘very Christian’ and a great example to the children. ‘I don’t always agree with him and he doesn’t always agree with me,’ she said, adding: ‘But if they can take away from that and that is where they feel drawn to, he’s the exact right parent to be in this position.’

Referencing her painful divorce from her cheating ex Jesse James in 2010, Sandra added that she was ‘so glad the universe had me wait’ to start a family of her own.

Talking about the strict adoption process to become a parent, Sandra revealed: ‘When I first went through the process myself, you have to prove that you are a capable parent and you’re in the judgement cage.

‘I got halfway through it and went, I can’t do this. It was an out of body experience… you’re thinking, if I don’t answer this right, you’re unfit.’

She also spoke about the issue of race, and being parent to two African-American children.

‘As a white parent who loves her loves her children, I’m scared of everything. I know I’m laying all kinds of existential anxiety on them,’ she said on the show.

‘I have to think about what they’re gonna experience leaving the home. How can I make sure my anxiety is accurate, protective?’ she continued.

‘With Lou, being a young Black man, at some point sweet, funny Lou is going to be a young man and the minute he leaves my home, I can’t follow him everywhere. I will try. I don’t know what I will do, but I pray, pray, pray I’ve done a good enough job, scared them sufficiently.’

‘I’ve been schooling Lou since he was 6 years old and popped that hoodie on his head. I let him see everything. I let him process it, he knows how the world works, he knows how cruel it is and how unfair it is and now Laila knowing it.’

She also said she ‘sometimes’ wished she and her children’s skin color ‘matched’ because it would be ‘easier’ on how people perceive them as a family.

‘To say that I wished our skins matched… sometimes I do,’ she confessed, as Jada Pinkett Smith and her mother Adrienne Banfield-Norris agreed.

‘Because then it would be easier on how people approach us. And I have the same feelings as a woman with brown skin, and it being her babies. Or a white woman with white babies,’ Bullock continued.

Jada’s daughter Willow Smith then interjected in the conversation saying: ‘It’s the mother-child dynamic. There is no color. We don’t have to put a color on…’

Bullock cut in, replying to Willow: ‘Maybe one day that will go away. Maybe one day we will be able to see with different eyes.’
