Meg Bellamy put on a very daring performance as she arrived at the 77th EE British Academy Film Awards at the Royal Festival Hall on Sunday.
The 21-year-old Crown actress showed off her incredible figure in a stunning one-sleeved black dress with a jeweled neckline.
Her dress also featured a daring high slit down the side, putting her toned legs on full display underneath.
Meg boosted her height in a pair of black satin high heels and sported a new hairstyle, with her brunette locks cut into a stylish bob.
The Kate Middleton star will have the opportunity to meet real royals on the red carpet as Prince William, president of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, will be in attendance.

However, Meg won't have the chance to meet the real Kate herself as the Princess of Wales is skipping the event as she continues to recover from abdominal surgery.
Prince William will appear alone, in his first high-profile royal engagement since his wife had surgery last month.
Last year he attended the ceremony alongside Princess Kate, where they met honorees Cate Blanchett, Austin Butler and Emma Mackey.
Kate underwent surgery at the London Clinic on January 16 and has since returned to Adelaide Cottage in Windsor to be with her three children.
David Tennant will host this year's ceremony live from the Royal Festival Hall in London's Southbank Centre, with a number of guest presenters presenting the awards throughout the night.
Actress and singer Hannah Waddingham will treat guests to an exclusive live music performance, while Sophie Ellis-Bextor will perform her iconic hit 'Murder on the Dancefloor' after it was given new life in Emerald Fennell's BAFTA-nominated 'Saltburn' woke up.
Elsewhere, Guyanese-born, London-based film curator June Givanni will receive an Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema Award.
Actress Samantha Morton's long career will also be rewarded with a BAFTA Fellowship, the arts organization's highest honor, given in recognition of outstanding and exceptional contributions to film, games or television.

Tennant, who is hosting the star-studded ceremony for the first time, recently admitted he was confused by the prospect of competing in front of so many people.
He told Variety, “If I'm honest, I don't know what to expect.” The whole thing just feels like one of those experiences that you say yes to because it would be rude not to . But what an amazing thing to be asked to do. What a privilege.'
The Scottish actor also insisted he would be taking a softer approach to the aggressive style Ricky Gervais used to great effect at the Golden Globes.
“I think the BAFTA mood is supportive and friendly,” he added. “Ricky Gervais is brilliant at what he does, but that wouldn’t be my style.”
“I don’t think I have that approach, so I think you just have to be who you are. “But we have good material that doesn’t leave anyone feeling under attack.”
Tennant revealed that he was completely shocked when he received an email asking if he wanted to host the annual awards ceremony.
Speaking to Radio Times, he said: “At the moment, a month on, it feels like a bit of thrill and fun.”
“An extraordinary opportunity to do something very unusual and exciting.” People keep asking me how nervous I am, how I prepare for it and so on, and that's starting to make me nervous.

Last year he attended the ceremony alongside Princess Kate, where they met honorees Cate Blanchett, Austin Butler and Emma Mackey (pictured).
“Who knows why they asked me!” I just thought I'd say yes before they realized they sent the email to the wrong person.”
BAFTA CEO Jane Millichip confirmed that the academy was “over the moon” that Tennant would host the ceremony.
She said: “He is rightly popular with British and international audiences alike.”
“His warmth, charm and mischievous wit will make next month’s show a must-see for our guests at the Royal Festival Hall and the millions of people watching at home.”
Guest presenters for the evening include Bryce Dallas Howard, Callum Turner, Cate Blanchett, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Daisy Edgar Jones, David Beckham, Deepika Padukone, Dua Lipa, Emma Corrin, Gillian Anderson, Hugh Grant, Idris Elba, Jack O'Connell, Lily Collins, Rebecca Ferguson and Taylor Russell.
Emma Baehr, Executive Director of Awards & Content, said: “It is an honor to welcome so many nominees for the EE BAFTA Film Awards this Sunday, representing some of the best creative talent on and behind the screen today Film Work.” which gave audiences worldwide an incredible year of film.
“It is a pleasure to bring these 38 remarkable films and the teams that made them to the public.”
“With host David Tennant bringing his charm and charisma to the ceremony, and performances from Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Hannah Waddingham, it promises to be an entertaining show for all our nominees and guests at the Royal Festival Hall and the millions of viewers. “At home around the world.”
In 2023, acting veteran Richard E. Grant took the stage as host of the BAFTAs and, in his opening monologue, referenced the infamous moment at the 2022 Academy Awards when film star Will Smith slapped presenter Chris Rock.
He told the star-studded crowd: “Nobody under my watch is getting slapped tonight – except on the shoulder.”
In 2022, “Pitch Perfect” and “Bridesmaids” actress Rebel Wilson made risqué jokes about the royal family, Russian President Vladimir Putin, the gender pay gap, the flop film “Cats” in which she starred, and her recent weight loss.
The British Academy of Film and Television Arts is a world-leading independent arts organization, drawing attention to the best of film, games and television and supporting the development of creative talent in the UK and around the world.
