She also colour coordinated her accessories, rocking a four amethyst stone pendant on a pearl necklace. 

While she famously fell for Joe Jonas back in 2008 when they met on the set of his video for Lovebug, she revealed last month that she would never date a co-star again. 

'To date on set is an absolute mess,' the she exclaimed in the cover interview for Hello! Fashion‘s November issue.

'It’s so easy – you can be in a really romantic place and maybe your co-star happens to be good looking and you have chemistry and you’re staying at the same hotel and go out to dinner…

'And then, when you get back home, do you continue? I avoid it. I do my work and leave.'

But she does give herself a bit of leeway, saying: 'If something develops afterwards, that’s a different story.'

Still, something good did come out of The American Side star's fling with Joe, 27, as they are now friends.

Look ethereal in a white ruffled dress like Camilla

Camilla Belle's latest magazine cover is none other than Hello! Fashion and we have to say this is one of our favorites.

Camilla really captured our attention in a silk tulle frock from Chanel's Fall 2016 collection. The little white dress, previously worn by Gigi Hadid on the cover of Vogue Japan, featured tiers of frothy tulle as well as floral appliques, a contrasting ribbon and pearl embellished buttons.

Since Chanel isn't sold online, you can't score Camilla's exact look, so how about nabbing a dress in its likeness from the edit below?

We've rounded up ruffled numbers by Alexander McQueen, Rachel Zoe, Joie and Self Portrait and there's one suitable for all budgets.

Team your new LWD with a black biker jacket and ankle boots to toughen up the look on your next evening out.

'When you’re doing different lines of work and can still keep that friendship and support each other, it’s really nice,' she said. 'We have a history and we know each other really well.'

Camilla admitted that it’s not always possible to remain friends with an ex 'but when it works it’s really special.' 

Camilla has two projects on the go: lunatic asylum drama, The Mad Whale, and Bangkok Love Story.

First flush of love: She and pop star Joe Jonas, seen in 2009, fell for one another after they met on the set of the video for Jonas Brothers' hit Lovebug.  Now Camilla says she will never date someone on set adding, 'If something develops afterwards, that’s a different story'
