Ready for her close up! Bindi Irwin dons billowing purple robe before changing into dazzling black and silver costume for top-scoring turn on Dancing With The Stars
She's donned the second of her glamorous costumes on Dancing With The Stars this week.
But before her top-scoring turn on the dance floor, Bindi Irwin opted for comfort over style as she sashayed around the studio in a billowing purple robe.
With her hair and make-up already completed, the 17-year-old kept her sparkling gown under wraps as she walked around barefoot before taking to the dance floor.

Later viewers watched in awe as Bindi and her partner Derek Hough topped the scoreboards again with a rousing dance to AC/DC's You Shook Me All Night Long.
Revealing an emotional connection to the song, Bindi said it reminded her of dancing with her late father when she was a child.
'I remember when I was really little, dancing to that song with dad. It means everything to me,' she said as the camera cut to her mother, Terri, who was equally emotional.

‘That is what my mom and dad would listen to,' she went on.
'I was so little then and so happy with my family in the middle of the zoo,' she continued.
'That is what I remember most and associate most with that kind of music.'
Bindi stunned in a sweeping black and silver gown which featured a diamante-encrusted bodice.
The teenager and her partner were awarded the highest score of the night - an impressive 25 out of 30.

Ahead of the show Bindi took to Instagram to cheerfully update followers with her wardrobe progress, after admitting to never having worn high heels before rehearsals began.
'Super excited for tonight's rocking show with @dancingabc!' she wrote, accompanied with a photograph of herself holding up some dancing shoes.
'I've graduated to taller heels and I'm going to try my absolute best tonight. Thank you for all of your support, I'm grateful every day,' the brunette continued.
