Christina Hendricks appears in deeply plunging dress as she shares gratitude for her fans

Christina Hendricksturned 48 on Wednesday, May 3, and shared a new social media post expressing gratitude to all those who wished her well.

The actress looked ready for a glitzy night out, wearing a black Valentino dress with sequined floral appliqués and a deeply plunging neckline that exposed her lace black bra.

She paired the dress with a matching choker scarf and a small black fan as she posed for mirror selfies in her Los Angeles home.

"It's my birthday so I got fancy," she wrote alongside the snaps. "Thank you everyone for your sweet messages today. I really am truly lucky to have such wonderful people in my life. I love you."

She received a slew of birthday wishes in response, including ones from Kat Dennings, David Arquette, and Melanie Lynskey among many others.

It's been a time for celebration for the former Mad Men star, who announced her engagement to bandicam operator George Bianchini back in March.

"We proposed to each other and we said yes!!! I will love and care for him forever," she captioned the romantic snapshot she shared at the time.
