Hot metal: Lucy Hale showed off her toned midriff in a cut-out bronze dress at the Gracie Awards gala in Beverly Hills on Tuesday
So naturally the brunette beauty wanted to ensure she also turned heads as she arrived on the red carpet ahead of the ceremony.
And she did just that by flashing her taut stomach in a metallic bronze dress with cut-out centre.
Lucy’s skimpy outfit showed off her slender legs as well as her toned midriff, and the 5ft 2in star gave herself a boost with pink sandals.
'Humble & honored': The Pretty Little Liars star was presented with the Outstanding Performance By a Female Rising Star award
Sweet touch: Lucy was presented the award by co-star and on-screen love interest Ian Harding
The aspiring singer swept her jet-black tresses into a cute ponytail and completed her look with a black box clutch and lots of red lipstick.
In a sweet touch, the award was presented to Lucy by her co-star and on-screen love interest Ian Harding, who she posed with along with her trophy.
The starlet tweeted that she was ‘humbled & honored’ at the nod and added to her ‘amazing friend’ Ian: ‘It's a joy to know you.’
