After impressing Steven Spielberg with her performance in the World War II miniseries, The Pacific, the American film director recommended Isabel Lucas for the role of Alice in the 2009 American science fiction action film Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.
“I’m still pinching myself that’s how it came about,” she said in an interview with Daily News.

Her film debut role earned her the award for Best Breakout Performance-Female in sci-fi and action at the 2009 Scream Awards.
Born on January 29, 1985, in Melbourne, Australia, she was 24 years old when Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen was released on June 24, 2009, in the United States.
Almost one year younger, her co-star Shia Saide LaBeouf was born on June 11, 1986, in Los Angeles, California, and celebrated his 23rd birthday on June 11, 2009.

The Australian actress and Shia LaBeouf dated for a while after meeting on the set.
“It was sort of disastrous,” LaBeouf said in an interview with Details. “Neither one of us, I think, were in love. Just sort of experimenting or whatever.”
He also admitted to hooking up with Megan Fox, who was in a relationship with her future husband Brian Austin Green.
“Look, you’re on the set for six months, with someone who’s rooting to be attracted to you, and you’re rooting to be attracted to them,” he told Details, an American monthly men’s magazine that ceased publication in 2015.
“I never understood the separation of work and life in that situation. But the time I spent with Megan was our own thing, and I think you can see the chemistry onscreen.”
“I don’t know, man. I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know,” LaBeouf said 12 separate times about hooking up with Brian Austin Green’s girlfriend, then added, “It was what it was.”

I get the feeling that Isabel Lucas is a practical lady. Well, at least practical enough to wear the same piece of clothing twice.
And it’s not just about wearing it twice, it’s wearing it on and off the red carpet, something not so common among celebrities.

The item we are talking about is Isabel’s printed maxi skirt. We first spotted it when she attended the premiere of Teenage Paparazzo.

Just a few days later, the Transformers 2 star was found wearing the same skirt while doing errands in Loz Feliz.
What do you think of the skirt? And what do you think of the way she wore it?

In April 2018, the Australian actress showed off her pretty feet in nude Via Spiga Faxon sandals paired with a gold Nanushka Spring 2018 Faith dress at The Humane Society Of The United States’ To The Rescue! Los Angeles Gala.
