All that jazz! Rumer Willis dazzles in first pictures as Roxie Hart ahead of making her Broadway debut in Chicago

She's seen her profile skyrocket since waltzing her way to victory on Dancing With The Stars.

And Rumer Willis looks every inch the Broadway beauty in the first look photos of the star in character as Chicago heroine Roxy Hart.

The 26-year-old daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore looks sensational in a sparkling black lace dress as she poses in a sizzling shoot at The Highline Studios in New York City.

Rumer flaunts her athletic dancer's body in the bodycon costume, which boasts a short hemline and lace sleeves.

A plunging panel at the front upped the sex appeal and added a touch of elegance to the look, which was paired with semi-opaque tights and pointed flats.

The star has ditched her brunette locks in favour of a permed blonde crop, reminiscent of Renée Zellweger's iconic look in the 2002 big screen adaptation.

Ruby red lips, scarlet lipstick and lashings of mascara complete the glamorous effect, but Rumer has retained a touch of her rebellious personal style thanks to her nose ring and the swallow tattoo visible on her back.

The star, who has sisters Scout, 24, and Tallulah, 21, opened up about how much her family's support means to her as she chatted to ET behind-the-scenes on the photoshoot

'I think the times that are most important with your family are not the ones that are definitely hard, because I feel like people always come together at hard times,' she said.

'But I think if you have consistency with your family - enough that they're there when it's good as well - then you know, it kind of lays that foundation.'

Rumer will make her Broadway debut next month in an eight week run at the Ambassador Theater.

The DWTS reigning champion will play 1920's wannabe vaudevillian Roxie, who is sent to jail after murdering her lover.

She takes over the role from Moesha star and R&B singer Brandy Norwood.

The role of Roxie has been played by an array of famous faces on stage including Liza Minnelli, Christie Brinkley, Melanie Griffith, Brooke Shields, Ashlee Simpson and Michelle Williams, with the latter three doing so both on Broadway and the West End.  

Renee Zellweger played her in the 2002 big screen version, alongside Catherine Zeta Jones, Richard Gere and Queen Latifah.

The production, which is the longest ever American musical running on Broadway, is based on the play by Maurine Dallas Watkins, who was the Chicago Tribune reporter assigned to cover the real life 1924 trials of accused murderers Beulah Annan and Belva Gaertner. 

It features the famous numbers All That Jazz, Cell Block Tango and Razzle Dazzle, while Rumer herself will be responsible for Funny Honey, Nowadays and Roxie.

This won't be Rumer's first play; she appeared off-Broadway in Love, Loss And What I Wore.

She also starred in a number of For The Record productions - which creates stage productions around the soundtracks of famous filmmakers - including Baz Lurhman, Quentin Tarantino and John Hughes.

Rumer isn't the only Willis hitting Broadway this year: 11 days after she finishes her Chicago run, her Dad Bruce is set to star in the stage adaptation of Stephen King's Misery at the Broadhurst Theatre. 

Champions: Rumer, who won the latest season of Dancing With The Stars with partner Valentin Chmerkovskiy, will begin her run on August 18

Go glam in Rumer's curve-clinging khaki dress

Rumer Willis is making a name for herself as quite the socialite.

The actress attended yet another party in the sunshine state, showing off her trim physique in a gathered khaki dress by British label House of CB.

House of CB is loved by the likes of the TOWIE and Geordie Shore cast in the U.K. as well as earning some serious style credentials of late in the U.S.

Fashion heavyweights including Amber Rose, Chrissy Teigen, Kylie Jenner and Jennifer Lopez have been lapping up House of CB's signature body hugging shapes, sexy plunge details and figure-enhancing fabrics.

And the best news is that the while these celebs might look a million dollars in their House of CB pieces, the price points are far more down to earth.

Rumer's dress comes in at a reasonable $167, and is yours to buy just by clicking to the right. And the label ships for free worldwide!
