Nina Dobrev turns heads as she flashes toned legs in baby blue maxi skirt slashed at the thigh at Creative Arts Emmy Awards

She routinely excels in the style department.   

And Saturday was no different for Nina Dobrev, who displayed her sublime sartorial sense once again at the 2015 Creative Arts Emmy Awards in downtown Los Angeles.

The 26-year-old was picture perfect in a chic black tank top and baby blue maxi skirt that was slashed at the thigh, exposing her long leg to full effect.

The floor length number had classic pristine pearl buttons, sewn from the edge of her waistline and just above her thigh-high slit.

She carried a petite and rounded silver clutch in her hands, while diverting from the elegance with her jazzy black-and-white footwear that added a retro touch.

Going for a dramatic look, the former Vampire Diaries star parted her hair at the side, while sweeping the remainder over her head in an elegant 'do.

Checkmate! Make a statement like Nina

Nina Dobrev was a true vision at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards in a flattering sky blue, sky high slit skirt and black camisole. Her ensemble worked perfectly with her physique, and we are loving her darling clutch, but what we're really coveting are her Sophia Webster heels.

These gorgeous sandals feature a checkered print and tassel details. The black and white definitely draw your eyes and we can't seem to look away.

We would recommend wearing these with a pair of black culottes for a more everyday look, but hey, if you want to wear a thigh high slit skirt, then by all means.

Lucky for you, you can purchase these heavenly shoes at Neiman Marcus. (we know we are) Or check out the carousel below for similarly stand out options.

'It's necessary for you to grow and to learn and to better yourself. Because everything in your life comes to an end. And, as this chapter in my life comes to an end, I look back at it with a grateful heart, and I smile.'

The TV icon also said, 'So the last two months have been a pretty big change for me. Change. It's a scary word – or at least I used to think that – because it meant new beginnings, new beginnings with a future that's unknown.'  

She told The Hollywood Reporter: 'The fairy tale has to end, and the next chapter has to begin. I knew this was my time, and I'm excited for the next step.'

Nina's next film The Final Girls hits US theaters in October.
