She recently took a trip down memory lane when she reflected on her days as a bar waitress in Toronto.

And on Saturday, Shay Mitchell returned to the Canadian city for the iHeart Radio Jingle Ball North. 

The 30-year-old commanded attention with both her dress and piercing, gray eyes, which came courtesy of colored contacts.

The Pretty Little Liars star accentuated her eyes with dark shadow, yet also brought attention to her lips with a bold shade of red. 

Shay's skin glowed in a Christmas-crimson dress, complete with a tie at its hem.

The brunette stunner added a pair of thin strap heels to her look, and accessorized with multiple rings and large silver hoops.

Earlier this month, Shay posted a video of herself on Youtube reacting to her Pretty Little Liars Audition.

In the video, the actress recalled how her agent told her of an audition for the show, the night before she was to audition.

'Take a read [of the script] and go in tomorrow for it,' Shay recalled her agent telling her. 

'The only problem was that I was doing bottle service at this point when I was living in Toronto,' she said. 

Shay would then go back and forth between the closet and the guests, in order that she could practice her lines and work.

The stunner would eventually land the role as Emily Fields in the hit CW show.

The beauty would rise to international stardom, and has since amassed over 2.8 million subscribers on Youtube, 18.4 million Instagram and 3.67 million Twitter followers. 

Shay currently has three projects in the works, including the TV series You and The Heiresses, along with the film, Cadaver.
