She is best known for rocking a beige prison uniform in Orange Is The New Black.

And Laverne Cox definitely looked a far cry from Sophia Burset on her latest red carpet.

The 31-year-old actress put on quite the eye-popping display upon her arrival at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas on Sunday night.

She definitely upped the glamour in a very low-cut black dress while making her way toward the event held at the new T-Mobile Arena.

Laverne wore a black mermaid-dress featuring a deep v-cut neckline and a patterned, sequined detailing around the torso and arms.

The frock featured grey bands around the waist and down the neckline and hips along with a flowy skirt which dragged on the pink carpet.

She accessorised with gold bracelets, rings and earrings while clutching onto a metal box clutch.

Her highlighted brunette tresses were worn down flowing over her shoulder as she sported natural, complimentary make-up on her face including a swipe of shiny pink lip.

It is quite an exciting time in Laverne's life as she will star in the two-hour, taped reimagining of The Rocky Horror Picture Show premiering in October.

On Monday, Fox debuted the first teaser for the highly-anticipated television event as she attempted Tim Curry's upper-crust Kensington accent as Dr. Frank-N-Furter.

'Enchanté...how nice!' the 5ft11in trans-actress - who turns 32 this month - said in the 30-second preview. 'It's not easy having a good time.' 

The Alabama-born beauty described her version of the bisexual, cross-dressing scientist as 'the love child of Grace Jones and David Bowie.'

'I think we mix up the look more than they did in the original. It's way more elaborate and couture,' Laverne - who made her singing debut - told EW last week. 

'I get tweets from people, "Please don't f*** up Rocky Horror Picture Show!" I showed my [twin brother M. Lamar] pictures of me in character and he was like, "You were preparing your whole life for this."'
