As if she needed any help looking sexy...

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley deserves a pat on the back. In a room full of stunning supermodels, it's hard to steal the spotlight - but she managed to do just that at the De Grisogono party in Cannes last night.

The gorgeous model-actress chose a slinky black Cushnie Et Ochs dress with long sleeves, a daring thigh-high slit and a completely exposed bra. It's certainly not your average LBD, and it makes a bold statement - and we're kind of loving it.

To get an expert opinion on the scene-stealing look, we turned to the MC fashion team: 'I like it - if you've got it flaunt it,' says junior fashion editor Holly Welch. 'Also, bras were a bit of a thing this SS14 with Prada painting and embellishing them on top of outer garments. So she's hooking into that trend, too.'

We're not quite sure we'd be brave enough to try the trend - but it definitely looks amazing on Rosie.
