D'Amelio attended Variety's annual Power of Young Hollywood event wearing a floor-length burgundy gown featuring sheer panels across the bodice and skirt. The fitted design included transparent detailing, with the star choosing not to wear a visible bra underneath.

She completed the look with understated jewellery, sleek, straight hair and minimal accessories as she posed for photographers on the red carpet.

The annual event celebrates rising figures across film, television and digital entertainment, bringing together actors, musicians, creators and influencers recognised for their growing influence in the industry.

Images from the event showed D'Amelio posing in front of a backdrop featuring Variety and Disney branding.
