Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner, 20, led the way as she made a sensational entrance at the glitzy bash.
Turning heads in serious style, the flame-haired beauty oozed old school glamour in a figure-hugging green number which was split to the thigh.
The beauty - best known for her role as Sansa Stark on the hit game show - pouted and posed her way along the carpet in the eye-catching number. 
With her stunning hair in gentle waves, the actress kept the rest of her outfit simple, opting for emerald tear-drop earrings and a matching necklace.

The 21-year-old had certainly graduated to a more grown-up style of glamour as she showed off her cleavage in a stunning plunging green sequinned number.
The back of the frock featured a daring cut-out while she kept her hair and make-up relatively simple as she headed towards one of the biggest nights of her life.
Another early arrival was Star Wars: The Force Awakens actress Daisy Ridley.
The rising star wowed in a simple-yet-chic silver number which made the most of her curves and porcelain skin.
The heavily embroidered gown featured a ruffle at the waist, while the actress went for a sleek bun and a racy red lip.

Stars gathered on Sunday night at the Dolby Theatre to toast another year in movies as they were honoured by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. 
Performers at the show include hitmakers, including Sam Smith, The Weeknd, Pharrell Williams, and Dave Grohl.
Up for Best Actress were some bright new stars and some awards show favorites. Cate Blanchett (Carol) and Jennifer Lawrence (Joy) led the nominees which included Brie Larson (Room), Charlotte Rampling (45 Years), and Saoirse Ronan (Brooklyn).
While the Best Supporting Actress category saw previous winner Kate Winslet (Steve Jobs) lead the way as she competed against Jennifer Jason Leigh (The Hateful Eight), Rooney Mara (Carol), Rachel McAdams (Spotlight) and Alicia Vikander (The Danish Girl). 
The Best Actor nominees include Bryan Cranston (Trumbo), Matt Damon (The Martian), Leonardo DiCaprio (The Revenant), Michael Fassbender (Steve Jobs), and Eddie Redmayne (The Danish Girl).
However, DiCaprio's turn as a frontiersman was the clear favorite going into the Oscars, after the star took home the other big awards shows earlier this year.
Leo earned his first Oscar nomination in 1994 for What's Eating Gilbert Grape when he was just 20 years old.
He was then nominated for Best Actor (The Aviator) in 2004. He later earned a Best Actor nod for Blood Diamond in 2006. And most recently for the Wolf Of Wall Street in 2013.
While Supporting Actor nods went to Christian Bale (The Big Short), Tom Hardy (The Revenant), Mark Ruffalo (Spotlight), Mark Rylance (Bridge of Spies), and awards season favorite Sylvester Stallone (Creed).
Best Picture nods went to The Big Short, Bridge of Spies, Brooklyn, Mad Max: Fury Road, The Martian, The Revenant, Room, Spotlight.
Among the directing nominees Alejandro G. Inarritu (The Revenant) was the clear front runner, however he did win the year before for Birdman.
Adam McKay (The Big Short), George Miller (Mad Max: Fury Road), Lenny Abraham (Room) and Tom McCarthy (Spotlight) rounded out the directing category.
The evening was hosted by Chris Rock, who previously hosted the awards show in 2005 and managed to anger some Oscar officials at the time with his controversial comments.
