Braless Zendaya flashes underboob in a quirky velvet gown with sheer panels and sports blonde cropped wig at The Fashion Awards 2017

She began her career as a child model and backup dancer before featuring in Disney's Frenemies.

Yet Zendaya proved she had shed her modest past as she boldly went braless in a star detailed black velvet ballgown for the The Fashion Awards 2017 at the Royal Albert Hall in London on Monday night.

The 21-year-old actress showcased underboob and her slender figure in the daring sheer gown, with horse-shaped cut outs covering her chest and revealing her taut stomach.

Step up your style game like Zendaya in Vivetta

Zendaya attended the British Fashion Awards showing us how evening glamour is done this week.

The actress and singer was again styled by her go-to for events - Law Roach - who opted to dress her in Vivetta - a brand known for its unusual appliques and prints.

Taken from the designer's fall 2017 collection, this dress is certainly unique with its horse head embroidery on a sexy mesh panel. We love the wintry velvet too that gives off a luxurious vibe.

You cannot buy this dress, but click right to shop available pieces at Farfetch.
