The garment highlighted her curves as it fell in to a figure-skimming skirt, with her matching pedicure peeking out slightly underneath.

And the American socialite's hair and make-up also added to the sex-kitten appeal with her brunette locks parted down the middle and blow-dried to perfection.

She opted for purple smokey eyes and glossy pink lips, while a pair of dangling earrings framed her pretty face.
