The lovely brunette was dressed quite well for the event. Ian Somerhalder’s ex-girlfriend arrived on the blue carpet in an a-cut gingham day dress from D&G that fit her oh-so-perfectly.

Her midnight blue Salvatore Ferragamo heels added a sophisticated contrast to the playful gingham dress.

In August 2014, she wore another pair of pumps from the Italian luxury fashion house with a short A-line dress by Zuhair Murad at the ‘Let’s Be Cops’ premiere in Los Angeles.

It was a simple look but undeniably young, fresh, and chic. At 22, the Canadian actress was nominated in two categories, including Choice TV Actress: Fantasy/Sci-Fi and Choice Female Hottie!

However, the ultimate highlight of her outfit was the tiny purse she held in her hand—a pristine white clutch with a woven flap.

The woven flap gives it a little extra. She wore a Dolce & Gabbana gingham dress with navy Salvatore Ferragamo shoes, turquoise Ippolita earrings, and Ippolita Modern Rock Candy bangles.
