Vanessa Hudgens look essential in black gown as she supports Austin Butler at The Shannara Chronicles premiere

 Vanessa Hudgens is used to being in the spotlight.

But on Friday she was supporting her boyfriend Austin Butler at the LA premiere of his new TV series, The Shannara Chronicles.

However, the gorgeous 26-year-old couldn't help but turn heads in her daring black gown, which left plenty of skin on show.

Vanessa's gothic style frock featured lace sleeves and an extremely low-cut neckline which plunged all the way to her waist.

It also boasted a slit up the front, allowing the actress to flash her enviable toned legs.

Vanessa teamed her gown with matching pumps and a metallic box clutch bag, and sported gothic make-up to go with her outfit.

Vanessa Hudgens worked her signature gothic glam look as she attended the Shannara Chronicles premiere on Friday!

The actress, who's appearing in the new stage production of Grease, took to the red carpet in a plunge front dress with lace sleeves by celebrity fave label House of CB, which she teamed with Stuart Weitzman heels.

If you're in the market for a party season dress (and are feeling daring) opting for a plunge front dress is guaranteed to get you noticed.

 Whilst plunge details aren't exactly a style for shrinking violets, Vanessa's cleverly opted for a dress with long sleeves and a maxi length to balance the revealing neckline, and kept accessories to a minimum with classic courts and a dainty necklace.
