The 17-year-old actress styled her auburn tresses in a wavy 'do, opting for a double braided headband while seated up front alongside a bevvy of A-list beauties.

Turn heads in a sheer printed gown like Bella

It looks like Bella Thorne may be fashion's newest It girl. The Duff star sat front row at the J. Mendel show at NYFW in a creation by the French designer.

Pulled from the Resort 2016 runway, the gown featured bell sleeves, and a daring cutout front in a sheer printed material. The young actress teamed her violet hued confection with a pair of barely there metallic sandals for a red carpet worthy look.

Bella later opted for a more revealing look, swapping out her elegant attire for a party-friendly leather crop top which she teamed with light wash denims.

The Teen Choice award-winner was joined by her boyfriend Gregg late into the evening for the Interview Mag party held in NYC.

It's been a busy few days for the lovebirds, considering they've been making back-to-back fashion show appearances, venturing to NYFW's Marchesa debut as well as the Diesel Black Gold show. 

Gregg, known for his reoccurring role on Wizards of Waverly Place, took to Instagram about their his and hers styles for the event, writing: 'Two matching leather jackets & one vanilla milkshake to share please sir!" #NYFW @dieselblackgold.'

Meanwhile, Bella has secured herself as one of the most in demand actresses before even hitting her 18th birthday, with seven projects slated for a release within the next year.

Aside from lending her voice to Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip as well as to Ratchet and Clank, she will also star in the tragic drama The Midnight Sun alongside Patrick Schwarzenegger.

It's likely Bella is more than ready for her next red carpet display or movie premiere after visiting some of New York's most popular Spring 2016 releases, including her most recent stop at J Mendel.

Designer J Mendel also took to Instagram regarding his fashion inspiration, writing: '@erinbaiano - effortless beauty in J. Mendel Spring '16 JMendel #CFDANYFW #NYFW #BTS @gillesmendel.'
