Split almost to the navel, the sheer pantsuit from the brand's archives featured intricate silver beading, floaty sleeves and a flattering, cinched-in waist.

The Spring Breakers bombshell added a touch more Hollywood glam to her ensemble with the addition of a slick of berry red lipstick and her bouncy brunette locks teased into voluminous retro curls.

Toting a small gold clutch bag, Vanessa completed her red carpet look with a pair of silver strappy sandals as she posed alongside The Frozen Ground co-star, Nicolas Cage.

Looking a million dollars: The 24-year-old actress posted this cute snap on her Instagram page as she prepared to head to London's Vue West End in Leicester Square

And she certainly seemed excited to be turning on the glamour for her London fans, writing on her Twitter page on Wednesday evening: 'On my way to the first premiere of The Frozen Ground!!! So excited. Out Friday in the UK!!'

Vanessa was also chatting to Game of Thrones actress Nathalie Emmanuel on the red carpet, with the former Hollyoaks star looking incredible in a monochrome lace halterneck number.

Reality star Amy Childs looked pretty as a picture in a candy pink skater dress, while former soap star Rachel Shenton was effortlessly elegant in a form-fitting moss green cocktail dress.

Former High School Musical star Vanessa admitted she was so far removed from her role as a prostitute in The Frozen Ground, that she didn't even recognise herself in the gritty role.

Vanessa told Nick Grimshaw on his BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show: 'There were so many different crazy situations I had to put myself in.

'But honestly a good stare into the mirror, would do me some justice because I didn't look like myself at all. Just remind myself who I was playing and just making it real.

The Spring Breakers star also said while she loved acting in the crime thriller, she can't cope with horror films.

'I cannot watch scary movies,' Vanessa said. 'I can't do it. Frozen Ground is good because it's like a thriller. It gets into your head. But ghosts and things that just pop up and scream at you, I can't do.

'Because it's based on a true story, these events actually happened. My character is based on a real person.

Looking slick! Nicolas looked every inch the dapper dude in his grey pinstripe suit, while Alice chose a black leather minidress with sheer overlay

Royal connection: Gary Goldsmith, the uncle of the Duchess of Cambridge, attended the premiere with wife Julie-Ann Brown

'So there is definitely a weight that comes along with that. We shot in some of the real places that the events took place in.

'So there is an energy that resonates and it's kind of heavy. It's fun. I love playing different characters. My cast was amazing. Nic Cage was incredible. John Cusack's terrifying. It's good stuff.'

The Frozen Ground documents the tale of an Alaska State Trooper (Cage) who partners with a young woman (Vanessa), who escaped the clutches of serial killer Robert Hansen to bring the murderer to justice.

Shop 'til you drop! Earlier in the day, Vanessa made the most of her time in one of the world's fashion capitals by enjoying a spot of retail therapy in London's Mayfair district

Helen Flanagan poses in a clinging cutaway dress at Chortle Awards

Where's the red carpet? Helen Flanagan poses in front of souvenir and cigarette shops in a clinging cutaway dress

Not one to turn an invite down, Helen Flanagan arrived at The Chortle Awards in a revealing fashion.

The former Coronation Street star wore a clinging cutaway dress that didn't do anything for her ample chest.

And despite no red carpet outside the venue, Helen happily ditched her coat and pulled a few poses with a souvenir and cigarette shops for a background.

Not so classy: Helen gave herself a Croydon facelift thanks to the tight nature of her bun

Of course Helen, who played Dosy Rosie in Coronation Street until 2011, was just posing outside the venue and was whisked inside to pout up on the red carpet.

With her pulled up into a tight bun, she gave herself the Croydon face lift treatment rather than the Gossip Girl class she publicly admires.

She paired the ill-fitting dress with high peep-toe platforms and some sparkling earrings, with her nails painted a very dark burgundy colour.

Ill-fitting: The low cut dress did nothing for Helen's chest, neither did the A-line cut of the skirt

No Scott: The actress left her footballer boyfriend at home for the event in London

The 2013 Chortle Awards are to be hosted by Jo Brand at the ceremony in central London at Cafe De Paris.

It credits itself as the only awards show to acknowledge a year-round contribution to comedy.

Also at the awards was a bespectacled Rachel Shenton, who famously played Mitzeee Minniver in Hollyoaks.

The actress looked chic in trouser suit and a clinging red top, she kept her brunette locks tied back on a cute ponytail.

Several comics are up for two awards, which are sponsored by Universal Pictures UK, including Louis CK, Tony Law, Dr Brown, The Boy With Tape On His Face, Richard Herring, Alex Horne’s Horne Section and Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong - whose Channel 4 shows Peep Show and Fresh Meat are both up for the TV award.
