Bella Thorne looked sᴇxʏ and stylish in pale blue body-hugging mini dress as she headed to day five of the Taormina film festival in Italy.

The dress clung perfectly to the actress’s cuʀvᴇs and revealed her nipple piercing beneath the fabric.

She wore her signature red locks drawn back in a bun and matched the golden metal one-shoulder strap of her dress with chunky gold bangles.

On her way to the blue carpet event the 25-year-old covered her face with rhinestone-edged sunglᴀsses, the jewels matching her many silver sparkling earrings.

The singer made sure her huge diamond engagement ring sparkled on display after her fiancé entrepreneur Mark Emms popped the question in May.

The ex-Disney star is hosting the 69th Taormina festival as well as premiering her directorial short film debut Paint Her Red which she wrote, directed and also stars in.

Bella shared the news that she would be attending the event with her 25.2 million followers at the beginning of May.

She wrote ‘We all connect through stories: watching art should be like looking in the mirror. I am very grateful for the opportunity to lead the way in showcasing a new generation of filmmakers.’

The Shake It Up teen star thanked the festival’s executive and artistic director Barrett Wissman for the opportunity saying she was honoured to have her film premiere at the festival.

‘Now more than ever, it’s important everyone has their voice heard and given a chance to shine,’ she wrote.

Paint Her Red will screen as part of the festival’s headline Influential Shorts gala which will feature a collection of shorts curated by Bella herself.

The actress teased she would be inviting well-known artists as well as new talents she had recently discovered.

Amongst those attending was Czech filmmaker Eva Vik who grinned on the carpet next to Bella in a bright pink tweed mini skirt and white shirt with embroidered collar.

Brazilian model Adriana Lima wowed in a silk purple suit, her long dark hair looking shiny and sleek.

Also in attendance was film director Leaf Lieber, actor Zates Atour, fantasy author Maram Taibah and artist Rita Aldridge.
