Creating a buzz! Chloe Grace Moretz sports eye-catching neon yellow and black dress as she arrives to plug new movie on TV show

With her neon yellow and black mini dress teamed with a mini-quiff updo, Chloe Grace Moretz looked stylish and striking as she arrived for a TV talk show on Monday.

The 16-year-old actress teamed her eye-catching frock with a pair of turquoise high heels and subtle make-up for her appearance on The Jimmy Kimmel show in Hollywood.

Chloe is busy promoting her new movie sequel Kick Ass 2 in which she reprises the role of teenage assassin Hit Girl alongside Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Christopher Mintz-Plasse.

She appeared alongside Christopher at Sunday night's Teen Choice Awards where she presented a gong to Selena Gomez.

And she looked equally pretty at the annual event in a black off-the-shoulder dress with sheer colour panels and strappy black heels.

Kick Ass, which was released back in 2010, proved to be Chloe's breakthrough role. She has since gone on to star in Martin Scorsese movie Hugo and the forthcoming remake of Carrie.

'Hit-Girl is that character that really did put me in a different light,' the star recently told website Screen Rant. 'I think it’s the character that I would say is my breakout role.

'It put me in the minds of people in this business and it’s an amazing role because it was something that was poppy and fun and the revisit was so fun.

'It’s just one of those characters that I definitely think changed me as an actor for sure.'

The star said she had to think carefully before signing on to do the sequel and return to Hit Girl, aka Mindy Macready, which sees director Jeff Wadlow take the reigns from Matthew Vaughn.

'It was interesting trying to find the reason to even come back to [Hit Girl,' she said. 'Trying to find why, what did you see in the first film that you would want to see in the second film, what is that?

'I think that was the main struggle with her because you saw so much Hit-Girl you never saw Mindy Macready. You never saw the girl behind the mask.'

Chloe recently spoke out after her Kick Ass 2 co-star and pro-gun control advocate Jim Carrey declared he would not take part in the publicity campaign for the movie in protest at the level of violence used in the film.

'It's a movie,' she said. 'If you are going to believe and be affected by an action film, you shouldn't go to see Pocahontas because you are going to think you are a Disney princess.'

Jim plays born-again vigilante Colonel Stars and Stripes in the sequel.

Phone home: The actress clutched a cell phone with what appeared to be a Roy Lichtenstein style illustration

'If you are that easily swayed, you might see The Silence of the Lambs and think you are a serial killer,' the actress added.

'It's a movie and it's fake, and I've known that since I was a kid... I don't want to run around trying to kill people and cuss. If anything, these movies teach you what not to do.'

However, the star also said that everyone had a right to their own opinions, adding: 'Each to his own.'

She's only 16-years-old, but Chloe Grace Moretz looks way beyond her years in a new grown-up shoot for Glamour magazine.

The starlet is seen channelling the screen sirens of the Forties and Fifties in a series of stunning black and white images.

With her hair coiffed in soft waves and a dark hue of lipstick applied to her lips, the teen embodies the likes of Old Hollywood stars such as Lauren Bacall, Marlene Dietrich and Ava Gardner.

Chloe slips into two vintage-style ensembles, one plunging velvet gown and an embroidered silk slip.

And in two colour images, The Kick Ass 2 star also models some more modern attire, wearing a white knitted and studded dress teamed with buckled white wedges, as well as fishnet tights, a floral dress and a blue and black knit cardigan adorned with star print.

In an interview with the magazine, the young star says her current style inspiration is Winona Ryder in her Nineties era.

'I’m wearing a lot of all black. I really love Winona Ryder—her look in the time right after Mermaids and Heathers, that first year of Johnny Depp and her,' she explains.

'They were the best couple ever— they’re like Romeo and Juliet!'

The actress, who regularly garners attention for her red carpet style, describes fashion as her 'princess time'.

'Fashion is my break. To go away to Paris and talk about clothes, that’s like my princess time,' she says.

Chloe says she's 'lucky' to be able to experiment with fashion, with several designers clamouring to dress her.

'I’m young, so I can play around. I’m lucky designers dress me, so I’m able to wear really, really, really crazy stuff! But there are brands that say, “We can’t dress you until you’re 20.” People who buy their clothes don’t want to see a $50,000 dress on a 16-year-old!' she says.

As well as experimenting with her wardrobe, Chloe says she has also been trying out different looks when it comes to her make-up.

'I do (experiment), but I’m terrified. I’ve seen so many disastrous things! I’ve only recently been going like, “OK, guys, let’s try some blue in there or some green.” I’m trying to figure out what looks good on me,' she explains.

Meanwhile, Chloe was seen attending a photo call for her new movie Kick Ass 2 at Claridges Hotel in London on Monday evening.

This time the young star went for an androgynous look in a grey and black striped suit and open neck white shirt.

The teenager is taking a small break in filming her current movie The Equalizer for the promotional tour.

The Equalizer is Antoine Fuqua's big screen adaptation of the popular 1980's television series and Chloe plays a prostitute alongside Denzel Washington, a role which she was cast in over many older and more experienced actresses.

On Friday the young starlet tweeted her excitement about her latest project saying, 'so happy to have been apart of #TheEqualizer it meant so much to me to work with Antoine Fugua and Denzel Washington and the entire Sony/Columbia family..thank you all again, to the crew, hair/makeup, driver, everyone thank you for making this such an enjoyable experience I’d give nothing in the world to replace it. Thank you!!!!'

The Equalizer is set to be released in September 2014, while Kick-Ass 2 is expected to hit UK cinemas on August 14.

Her busy year shows no sign of letting up as she embarks on a promotional campaign for new film Kick-Ass 2.

So with only a few precious hours away from work Chloe Moretz stepped out for some retail therapy in London on Monday – but anyone expecting to see the young actress frequent some of Bond Street’s finest designer stores were left wanting.

Indeed, while Chloe was in the mood to spend some of her considerable earnings, she did it in the more humble surrounds of designer discount store TK Maxx.

The 16-year-old was spotted leaving a branch of the hugely popular store carrying two bulging bags of clothing early that afternoon during a shopping spree with mother Teri and brother Trevor.

Chloe was dressed casually in a trendy floral print t-shirt, skinny trousers and the same flats she wore when she mobbed by fans in Boston shortly before flying to London over the weekend to attend the Kick-Ass 2 photocall at Claridge's Hotel on on Monday afternoon.

The young star had clearly opted to dress down for her impromptu visit to the store – where she signed autographs for a less frantic group of admirers – after spending much of the morning promoting her new film.

With Kick-Ass 2 just days away from hitting cinemas across the UK, Chloe paid a visit to Capital FM and ITV studios, where she was interviewed by presenter Kate Garraway on breakfast show Lorraine.

Dressed in a stylish patterned blouse and skinny jeans, the actress talked about the need to have her family close by.

‘I keep my family close to me at all times,’ she said. ‘ And even farther than that, I keep the people in my business around me like my publicist, my manager, my agent, I keep those people around me that are good people too, because I feel that besides your family it’s those people who influence you the most in your life.

‘So you need good friends, good company and a good family to keep yourself from flying off the handle which is not too hard to do in this business.’

Chloe also revealed the person she most admires as an actress – her Dark Shadows co-star Michelle Pfieffer.

‘I’ve looked up to Michelle Pfieffer my entire life,’ she admitted. ‘As an action actress I look up to her in films like Catwoman and stuff like that. And she’s just a female empowerment type of woman.

‘She’s just strong and she conducts herself so well, and she has a family and she was flying back to LA every week to see her husband and kids and it shows that you can be a normal sweet person and have a family and have those two lives and be one.’

On Saturday the actress needed a healthy dose of Michelle's strength when she was mobbed by fans shortly after wrapping The Equalizer - a film version of the hit 80's TV show.

The young actress was spotted by autograph hounds leaving her hotel in Boston, where she had been filming.

She was also make-up free and kept her accessories simple but edgy with a pair of oversized leopard-print sunglasses shielding her eyes and a simple silver chain with a pendant dangling loosely over her top.

As she left the hotel she was approached by eager fans, but made sure to sign autographs before being driven off.

'She was freaking strong!' Christopher Mintz-Plasse reveals Chloe Moretz used to 'beat him up' as they promote Kick-Ass 2

It has been a long time coming but fans of Kick-Ass will finally see a sequel hit cinemas in August, more than three years after the original.

And the cast are just as excited to be back in their makeshift superhero costumes as the audience are to watch their return.

Chloe Moretz may have been just 13 years old while shooting the first movie, but she still formed a close friendship with her co-star and on-screen rival Christopher Mintz-Plasse.

The pair are still best pals and have teamed up for an interview in the comedy issue of GQ.

Christopher admitted to the magazine that Chloe, who is seven years his junior, used to ‘beat’ him up while they promoted the first movie.

‘In almost every interview, Chloe would beat me up,’ he said of the then 13-year-old actress, who is now 16.

‘She was in fight training for months, and she was really freaking strong.’

When they weren’t fighting, the two wiled away the time in between interviews with a little sing-along, favouring the likes of Lady Gaga.

‘All we would do was sing Paparazzi,’ Christopher, 23, said. ‘The beautiful harmony of that chorus.’

Chloe added: ‘You did go for the high notes a lot.’

The pair are currently preparing for a press tour ahead of Kick-Ass 2’s release and Chloe has already picked out their next song.

‘I found a new song for us: Come & Get It by Selena Gomez,’ Chloe told her pal. ‘It's easy to learn. We can kill it.’

‘I'll download it right now and listen to it a million times,’ Christopher insisted. ‘I've gotta learn my lines.’

The duo also took part in a photo shoot for the special issue of the magazine in which they are seen pretending to wrestle.

Chloe, who sports a green top and shorts, black fishnets and red heeled sandals, comes up trumps with Christopher left feigning exhaustion and injury.

Long time coming: It has been more than three years since the release of Kick-Ass with Kick-Ass 2 set to hit cinemas later this year
