She is currently the toast of young Hollywood.

And Bella Thorne certainly dressed like she's in it to win it at the 28th Annual Imagen Awards on Friday.

Appearing mature for her young age of 15, the Shake It Up! star donned a demure, black strapless dress to attend the ceremony at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California.

Stunning at 15: Bella Thorne looked more mature than her years as she arrived at the 28th Annual Imagen Awards at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Beverly Hills, California on Friday

The actress, who is nominated for the Best Young Actress/Television category, teamed the fitted peplum frock with a pair of black sandals and a modern, structured clutch.

Clearly inspired by old Hollywood glamour, the Cuban starlet styled her strawberry locks in loose curls that neatly flowed past her right shoulder.

And her make-up was more subtle than usual, highlighting her big eyes with neutral shades of eye shadow and lengthening mascara instead of going heavy with liner.

Consistent with her natural glow, Bella sported a shimmering, light pink lip gloss and brushed her cheeks with luminescent face powder.

'I'm obsessed with @unearthen_jewelry LOVE LOVE LOVE!' Bella tweeted with a snap of her geometric-shaped, jewel toned pieces and patterned blue polish.

The actress was also wearing a gold Cartier love bracelet.

'Imagen awards tonight, win or lose, I get to see so many of my friends!' Bella gushed.

It was a lovely sight to behold. 

Halle Berry, who won the Academy Award for Best Actress in 2001 for Monster's Ball, arrived at the 85th Academy Awards with Quvenzhane Wallis, the youngest ever nominee in the same category. 

The nine-year-old looked delighted to be with the stunning and accomplished star - who was the first African American women to win the award. 

A new generation: Academy Award winner Halle Berry arrived with the youngest ever nominee in the best actress category, Best Actress nominee Quvenzhane Wallis 

Both actresses literally sparkled as they walked the maroon carpet together. 

Halle. 46, opted for a stunning black and gold column dress that plunged enough to dazzle. 

While little Quvenzhane was a vision in ruffly blue. 

Inspiration: Halle led the way for younger actresses 

'Sparkly and fluffy': Actress Quvenzhane Wallis arrived at the Oscars in Hollywood wearing an Armani Junior gown

The Beasts of the Southern Wild star told People.com about her navy number: ‘I liked it because it was sparkly and fluffy.’

She looked her most styled yet of all the events she has attended in the lead up to the 85th Academy Awards, held at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.

The layered floor-length number by Armani Junior featured puffy shoulders and a black mesh overlay with jewels attached.

Cute and comfortable: She teamed it with flat pumps and donned a bag in the style of a dog

Excited about the stars: She reached across the shake hands with Channing Tatum

She teamed it with comfortable flat pumps and donned a bracelet on her wrist plus drop earrings.

Her hair was tied up in a bun and she held back some curls from her face with a glitzy hair slide.

The youngster held on to a bag in the shape of a dog, a look she had made her own by toting them at some recent ceremonies.

Crunch time: The nine-year-old waited to hear who would be taking home the Best Actress trophy

Don't mind if I do: Quvenzhane tucked into some popcorn which was given out during the ceremony to hungry guests

Although Wallis maintained her cool at the Oscars for the photographers eager to take her picture, she would have no doubt been excited to meet with some top stars.

She ran into the likes of Step Up star Channing Tatum, who reached over to shake her hand.

Fashion rival: Actress Fatima Ptacek wore a huge frock too

Pretty as a princess: The Dora the Explorer star, 12, was joined by actor Shawn Christensen 

She will compete against Jessica Chastain, Jennifer Lawrence, Naomi Watts and Emanuelle Riva for the coveted female in a leading role statuette.

Wallis wasn’t the only youngster on the red carpet.

Dora the Explorer actress Fatima Ptacek, 12, was also there and wore an equally ‘fluffy’ gown.

Doggy bag: The nine-year-old is a fan of pooch purses
