The Carrie star was flanked by her brother Trevor who is her acting coach and constant companion.

Nerves aside, the actress looked great in a rather unusual and fashion forward ensemble.

For the show - which she was on to promote new movie 5th Wave - the star wore a high waisted leather skirt which fit like a corset before flaring out in box pleats.

Be luscious in leather in a skirt by Ashley Williams

Most teenagers haven't found their fashion feet yet; but Chloe Moretz most certainly doesn't tick that box.

Wowing everyone from the press to casual onlookers, the youthful beauty looked incredible in a striking combination of red and black as she arrived at the Jimmy Kimmel Live studios.

Her unique pieces - which included this gorgeous high waist pleated leather corset skirt by Ashley Williams - went down a treat at highlighting her trim yet healthy figure.

Completed with some elegant black heels, the movie star really rocked the streets of Hollywood; looking a little edgy without losing her somewhat innocent trademark style.

Leather midi skirts can look amazing in almost any ensemble, and it's a trend we recommend experimenting with.

Chloe's exact style is now sold out, but we've picked out some of our favourites alternatives below...

The 18-year-old told Marie Claire that while she filmed Carrie in 2013 she became obsessed with reading online criticism.

'I felt fat; I felt not pretty. I felt like I didn't really know who I was. I was so confused; I was scared. I had bad acne. I felt incredibly insecure.'

But recently, Chloe says she has been able to put that behind her and separate her at work self and at home self.

'I'm so free now. I don't know what happened, but when I turned 17, this huge weight was lifted off my shoulders. I'm so open; I have a good time; I don't worry about what people say about me. 

Getting there: Chloe revealed to Marie Claire she struggled previously with body confidence but 'when I turned 17, this huge weight was lifted off my shoulders' and so now is putting that behind her

'I know who I am, who I want to be, what I want to portray myself as, what I want people to think of me.'

Chloe is set to have a very busy year with four films coming out including the 5th Wave, Neighbors 2, November Criminals and Brain On Fire.

Chloe will also star in the anticipated live-action Little Mermaid which was to be directed by Sofia Coppola, however, she recently dropped the project amid reports of creative differences.
