An LBD is a style staple in any girl's wardrobe. 

And on Tuesday night Jennifer Hawkins showed exactly how to work the perfect black frock putting an unusual twist on the old classic. 

The 32-year-old model wore a figure-hugging dress to attend the launch of new Indian eatery Indu in Sydney.

While the short gown showed off her perfect pins, the dress also included strips of material hanging down from the side seems, adding an element of interest to the outfit. 

Jennifer also added a pop of colour to her look by carrying an quilted Chanel clutch bag in a bright aqua hue. 

To emphasise her lithe limbs the model wore a pair of Gladiator-inspired heels for the evening.

While Jennifer was busy mingling on Tuesday night on Thursday she will join fellow Myer representatives at an exclusive dinner held in Sydney's Barangaroo Reserve. 

Jen will be joined by Aussie model Shanina Shaik, who spoke to Kyle Sandiland and Jackie 'O' Henderson about the event on Wednesday morning. 

The Victoria's Secret model revealed it would be a double celebration - with it being her 25th birthday on the same day too.

She told the radio show that the bash is 'definitely going to be a showstopper'. 

'It's a super exclusive VIP dinner for 100 guests which will include a stunning presentation.'
