She was just named the face of Louis Vuitton, therefore Paris-born Lea Seydoux's first outing for the French fashion house was very memorable indeed.

The 007 Bond Girl went all-out gothic glamour in a high neck sheer gown as she stepped out to support the UNICEF fundraiser at Los Angeles' Beverly Wilshire Hotel, hosted by Louis Vuitton.

Flame-haired beauty Lea, 30, represented the French label with conviction, from her striking red lipstick to her rocky leather waistbelt accentuating her tiny middle.

Lea graced the red carpet in a floaty black gown, beneath which she teased a particularly daring black bodysuit.

It scooped low on her neckline to reveal a hint of her ample cleavage, despite fabric that stretched from her leather cuffs to her her high Victoriana collar.

Presented by Louis Vuitton, the UNICEF Ball marked the launch of LOUIS VUITTON for UNICEF on Tuesday night.

It would become a global partnership between the humanitarian organization for children and the luxury fashion house to help support children affected by conflict, disease, natural disasters, and other situations that threaten their safety and well-being.

Lea's appearance tied in nicely with the news that she would now serve as an ambassador for the 162-year-old brand.

It was announced on Saturday, in anticipation of the UNICEF event, that the actress will now appear in new advertising campaigns and represent Louis Vuitton at their major events.

Speaking about the opportunity, she said: 'I feel extremely proud at the thought of representing such a strong symbol of French elegance, an iconic brand whose initials are known the world over.

'I deeply admire [Artistic Director of Women's collections] Nicolas Ghesquiere's work, especially his newness. His incessant search for novelty is also highly impressive.'

She's joining the well-known ranks of Michelle Williams, who has been a Louis Vuitton ambassador since 2013, and The Danish Girl star Alicia Vikander, who both starred in the label's Spirit of Travel campaign in October 2015.

Lea's Tuesday night appearance saw her sporting a custom gown of Nicolas' design and also arriving on his arm.

She is often seen cutting a casual figure.

But Hollywood actress Michelle Rodriguez pulled out all the stops when she attended the UNICEF bash in LA's Beverly Wilshire Four Seasons Hotel on Tuesday evening.

The 36 year-old star, who rose to fame in the Fast and Furious franchise, dazzled in her choice of attire, which deftly turned heads at the lavish fundraiser, which helped to raise over $2.5 million for the charity's lifesaving programs.

Best-ever style? Michelle Rodriguez pulled out all the stops when she attended the UNICEF bash in LA's Beverly Wilshire Four Seasons Hotel on Tuesday evening

The brunette beauty left little to the imagination in her sexy-yet-classy wardrobe choice.

Flaunting her fit figure with confidence, she still managed to appear sophisticated, despite a thigh-high slit, plunging neckline and daring backless detail.

Featuring fitted sleeves and a floor-length hemline, the acclaimed star boasted one of her greatest wardrobe moments.

Demure: Flaunting her fit figure with confidence, she still managed to appear sophisticated, despite a thigh-high slit, plunging neckline and daring backless detail.

Wearing her hair in a simple centre-parting, she opted for a minimalist approach to make-up - with just basic, nude tones for a natural look.

Adding to the understated appearance, she accessorised with just a handful of small jewels, including a diamond ring and bracelet.

Missing much-needed bling around her neck, Michelle instead allowed her cleavage to do the talking.

Posing up a storm on the red carpet, the former flame of Cara Delevingne was clearly feeling body confident at the bash, which also saw attendance from David Beckham, Mariah Carey, Selena Gomez and Nicole Kidman.

Her red-carpet look was a sharp cpontrast to her most recent filming engagement, which saw her film gender-reassignment thriller Tomboy, A Revenger's Tale, in November.

Her distressing appearance on set gave a glimpse of what's to come in the gritty film, directed by Walter Hill.

The brunette beauty wore bloodied underwear and a soiled robe as she was filmed walking down a dimly lit alleyway.

The crime drama tells the story of an ace assassin (Rodriguez) who is double-crossed by gangsters and falls into the hands of a rogue surgeon known as The Doctor (Sigourney Weaver), who turns him into a woman against his will.

The hitman embarks on a bloodthirsty revenge mission, helped by a nurse called Johnnie, who is harboring her own secrets.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Freida Pinto was originally attached as the lead when it was first discussed at TIFF.

The film marks the first time Michelle will have headlined a film since the likes of Avatar, Resident Evil and Fast & Furious have seen her take part in all-star ensemble casts.

Tomboy, A Revenger's Tale is due for release in September 2017.

From the catwalk to Cambodia: Rosie Huntington-Whiteley visits children in Phnom Penh's slums with UNICEF

English supermodel Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has swapped the world of high fashion for the slums of Cambodia on a trip with children's charity UNICEF.

The 26-year-old traveled to Phnom Penh to see first-hand the daily plight of children struggling to survive.

She arrived in Cambodia's capital on Wednesday to film an appeal, which will be screened on Britain's ITV's Soccer Aid on June 8.

Moving: Model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, pictured in Cambodia on Wednesday, with a group of young girls, said it was heartbreaking to hear about the struggles people faced in slums around Phnom Penh

The actress and model documented the trip in a series of images she shared on Instagram, including photos with young children struggling against hunger, disease and poverty in the overcrowded slum villages.

'I’ve been so inspired by the children I’ve met on my first day in Cambodia, despite the conditions they live in,' the model wrote on Instagram.

In one photo, the blonde beauty appeared makeup free with her hair tied back in a small bun as she blew kisses to the camera with a group of four young girls.

'Such an incredible first day in Cambodia with @unicef_uk meeting gorgeous girls like these. #socceraid #unicef,' she posted to more than 1.4 million followers.

The next image the Burberry model shared, showed her with a Cambodian woman. Wearing a Soccer Aid T-shirt, the two hugged as they held each other by the arms.

Both smiling as they looked each other in the eyes in the candid image, Huntington-Whiteley posted: 'It was an honour to spend time with this beautiful soul today. Despite so much tragedy such an inspiration to all. @unicef_uk #socceraid #CAMBODIA #INSPIRATION'.

The Transformers: Dark of the Moon star said it was upsetting to hear about the experiences people were facing in daily life.

'It was heartbreaking to meet a mum whose baby daughter died from diarrhoea when she was just six months old because of the sewage and dirty conditions,' she said.

Shocked: The actress said it was distressing to learn 50 children under the age of five die every day in Cambodia from easily prevented diseases

'When children get ill here, they don’t always have access to medicine or clean water to be able to get better.'

She added that it was easy for people to help make a difference.

'I was shocked to learn that around 50 children under the age of five die every day in Cambodia from diseases that can be easily prevented, like diarrhoea,' she said.

'Yet it costs so little to help save a child’s life.

'That’s why I’m supporting UNICEF’s vital work through Soccer Aid, and you can too,' she said of the Soccer Aid event.

Help! The model has put a call out for people to make a difference through Soccer Aid

The biennial British charity event will see two star-studded squads of football legends and the world’s biggest stars compete in a football match in aid of UNICEF.

On Sunday, the model, who is dating Jason Statham, attended the Vogue Festival in London.

She looked flawless in an above-the-knee cream dress at the event.

While there, she talked about how Twitter is a great tool for models in the modern age and also the importance of a healthy lifestyle.

Tickets are now on sale for Soccer Aid 2014, visit manutd.com/socceraid or call 0845 456 2014 (calls to this number will be charged at local rates). Go to unicef.org.uk/socceraid to find out more.

Worlds apart: On Sunday, the model looked stunning as she attended the Vogue Festival in London
