She's absolutely stunning! Bryce Dallas Howard wowed in a colorful Topshop gown for the Critics' Choice Awards in Santa Monica; the frock retails for $240

The stunning star bought the Topshop frock at Nordstrom; the strappy dress is currently available for purchase online.

This is not the first time Bryce has rocked a gown she bought online or from a department store for a red carpet event. 

The Jurassic World actress bought her 2016 Golden Globes dress as well as her frock for last year's Critics' Choice Awards.

The beauty recently told People: 'When you're not "sample size," or when you don't have a direct relationship with a designer, or if you don't have a lot of notice, those types of size 6 dresses just aren't that available that much.'

What a beauty: The 35-year-old hit the carpet on Sunday in a plunging mustard hued dress with black detailing along the torso and back

 Wow factor: Bryce showed off her fit form in the strappy gown, which featured a low-cut neckline, a skintight mid-section and cascading skirt

She added that 'if something is sort of last-minute, or I don't have a good relationship with a place, then I go to Neiman's, or I get something online.'
