The Oscar-winning actress, 24, turned heads when she stepped onto the red carpet for the premiere of her latest movie Serena at the BFI London Film Festival on Monday night.
The blonde beauty showed off her svelte frame in a black tuxedo-style dress with a deeply plunging neckline, displaying her cleavage as she posed for snapshots outside the Vue West End.
