Making a statement! Indigenous actress Madeleine Madden, 22, steps out in a T-shirt bearing the Aboriginal flag for a film premiere in Sydney

Madeleine Madden wore her heart on her sleeve when she stepped out for the world premiere of The Final Quarter during the Sydney Film Festival on Friday.

The 22-year-old Indigenous actress proudly displayed her heritage in a white T-shirt bearing the Aboriginal flag and the words, 'Black Flag' - play on the US punk band of the same name from the 1980s. 

Posing defiantly with her hands on her hips, Madeleine displayed her statement T-shirt as she stood on the red carpet.

The Tidelands actress glared at the camera, but couldn't resist bursting into a smile afterwards.

Madeleine also wore black skinny-leg jeans and a black faux fur coat.

She rounded out her ensemble with a pair of maroon-coloured patent leather block heel boots, and accessorised her look with silver hoop earrings.

Her dark hair was worn parted in the middle and in an updo, and she donned bronze eyeshadow.

The Final Quarter is a documentary centred around racism in Australia following the relentless booing of former footballer Adam Goodes, 39. 

Madeleine has always been a vocal advocate for the Indigenous community.
