She's been smoldering on the red carpet thanks to Hollywood stylist Elizabeth Stewart.

But Australian actress Rebel Wilson couldn't hide from her less than fashionable past during Monday's episode of Late Night With Seth Meyers. 

The 35-year-old was questioned by funny man and host Seth Meyers about her first-ever acting headshot which he dug up to show viewers.

Looking red faced, Rebel described the picture as 'embarrassing' before going into detail about her less than perfect 90's fashion sense.  

'So, I'm like 18 or 19 here, holding a softball mitt, and just in case you didn't know I was sporty, a softball,' she told the late night host. 

'I don't know what's happening with my feral hair. I'm also wearing the world's thinnest gold chain. Maybe that's because, like, 'Maybe I can be classy'.  But, just so you know my gangster, ghetto roots, we've got the graffiti in the background.' 

Meyers then jokingly responded: 'There's so much going on and there's so few acting parts where this works.'

Rebel replied: 'Like, what was I auditioning for? A reboot of A League of Their Own?'

Meyers added: 'It's sort of like a more street League of Their Own.'

Rebel continued:: 'When I first said I was going to become an actress, like nobody thought that it would ever happen. Looking at that headshot, would you think that girl would get hired? No!'

'It's usually one of those things where you're like, "Nobody believed in me and I proved them wrong". But this is a case where you look at this and go, "Nobody believed in me, and right they were". It's crazy now to look back that I have succeeded based on my early decisions on a headshot.'

Despite her previous fashion faux pas, Rebel nailed her look for the How To Be Single European premiere on Tuesday evening.

The Aussie starlet stunned in a blue textured gown which showed off her famous curves. 

The designer frock incorporated an asymmetric hem which exposed her slender calves and a pair of glittering silver stilettos.

Rebel curled and tousled her blonde locks in a voluptuous do, while applying a thick layer of nude lipstick onto her naturally plump lips.

The former Fat Pizza star also made sure to accentuate her big blue eyes with thick lashings of mascara and a light dusting of pink powder onto her cheeks.

In her new comedy, Rebel plays party girl Robin.

Speaking of her role on the Ellen DeGeneres show, she said: 'While my character is fiercely independent, Dakota’s character [Alice] has just come out of a long-term relationship and is showing all the signs of codependency. Robin takes Alice under her wing, so to speak.' 

The film will officially open in Australian cinemas on Friday.
