The actress and animal rights advocate put on a colourful show in the green silk number, which featured an image of a child and the words: 'Cool Earth. Papua New Guinea'.

Featuring a slashed hem detail and barely-there sleeves, she showed off both her arms and legs to perfection. 

And, sure enough, she looked considerably younger than her years.

Keeping it chic in a retro style, she wore a pair of over-sized sunglasses - despite the fact she was indoors for the rainforest gala.

And, with her hair swept to the side in a stylish parting, she also added some California cool. 

Keen to be part of that, hostess Vivienne posed with the blonde beauty and was evidently pleased to be in the star's vibrant company.
