Bella Heathcote turned heads in a sheer lace Emilio Pucci dress as she arrived at the after-party for the Dark Shadows premiere in London last night
At last night's premiere and after-party in London, the 24-year-old wore a daring lace number from the Emilio Pucci Fall 2012 collection.
While the open back and sheer fabric (which had many passers-by doing double-takes to see if a little more than intended was on display) was a risk, the stunning beauty pulled the look off with aplomb.
She posed for photographers as she arrived at the premiere after-party, held at Temple Place, with her co-stars.
Belle of the ball: The Australian actress' daring look was deemed a hit by fashion followers as she walked the red carpet earlier in the evening
Style savvy: Bella also dazzled at the LA premiere in a Chanel dress this week
Already drawing comparisons to this year's style icon Rooney Mara, Bella's natural style is landing her on many a best dressed list.
The former Neighbours star's delicate features and mesmerising blue eyes were set off by her heavy blunt fringe and minimal make-up.
Earlier this week she dazzled in a Chanel dress at the Los Angeles premiere of the Tim Burton film.
Rising star: The former Neighbours star is making waves in the industry, working with Brad Pitt in Killing Me Softly before starring alongside Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer and Helena Bonham Carter in Dark Shadows
Leading ladies: Helena Bonham Carter and Eva Green both toasted their film at the party, held at Temple Place
Bella, originally from Melbourne, moved to Hollywood in 2010 after winning the coveted Heath Ledger Scholarship.
She beat 100 other young Australian actors for the scholarship, which was judged by the late star's friends including Hugh Jackman and director Gregor Jordan.
Miss Heathcote had previously appeared in Neighbours for a number of episodes in 2009, and the Australian WWI drama Beneath Hill 60.
Fashionista: Bella's co-star Chloe Moretz is another actress attracting attention for her red carpet style
Time to party: With the premiere over and done with, Johnny Depp celebrated with his co-stars, while Guy Ritchie popped in to say hello
She quickly won over directors, and was cast in the Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried thriller In Time, and Killing Them Softly (previously Cogan's Trade) alongside Brad Pitt.
After holding her own against Depp, Pfeiffer, Chloe Moretz, Eva Green and Helena Bonham Carter as Victoria Winters in Dark Shadows, Bella undoubtedly has a bright future in the industry.
Next up, she is starring alongside The Sopranos star James Gandolfini in the drama Not Fade Away, due for release in October.
