She shot to fame as a geeky child beauty queen in 2006 film Little Miss Sunshine but Abigail Breslin proved she’s all grown up last night.
The 17-year-old actress donned a daring dress to walk the red carpet at the premiere of August: Osage County.
The vintage Norma Kamali gown featured head-to-toe sheer panels and ensured Abigail was the centre of attention at the event.
