When it comes to serving up looks, Addison Rae always delivers.
The 21-year-old TikTok sensation stunned in an all-black leggy look on the red carpet for Elle's 27th Annual Women in Hollywood Celebration, which took place at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles on Tuesday night.
Showing Off Her Dress
Addison showcased her daring look on Instagram, posting three photos from the special event.
The "He's All That" star rocked a black cut-out dress, which perfectly showcased her enviable curves. According to Elle, her dress was from Brandon Maxwell.
The daring outfit hugged her body like a glove, highlighting her hourglass shape. It had a big cut-out along the midsection that exposed plenty of skin, including a hint of her underboob. Her incredibly taut tummy was also on display. The garment also featured a one-shoulder strap and a slit that showed off plenty of leg. The dark color of her dress complemented her glowing tan.
Addison wore her hair in a sleek bun and paired the show-stopping number with black strappy sandals with high heels. She rocked minimal accessories, including a pair of dangling earrings with ear cuffs.
She Went Alone
Addison went solo to the event. In the first photo, she stood in a hallway, posing front and center, while flashing a big smile. The next picture showed the influencer strutting her stuff on the red carpet while still smiling brightly. Meanwhile, Addison struck a more demure pose in the last snap.

Fans dove into the comments section to drop compliments on her beauty and daring display, while others were struggling to find the right words, opting to chime in with emojis instead.
"You’re stunning," wrote an admirer.
"HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE SO BEAUTIFUL?!" noted another fan.
"21 has never looked better," added a third commenter.
Talking About Her Idols
Elle's 27th Annual Women in Hollywood Celebration honored nine remarkable women that included Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Hudson, Halle Berry, Gal Gadot, Gemma Chan, Rita Moreno, Salma Hayek, Lauren Ridloff, and Jodie Comer for the creative and cultural contributions they've made to the worlds of film, music, television, and more.
In July, Addison talked about her actress idols, which include one of the honorees.
"I love Julia Roberts, she's one of my very favorites," she said at the time. "Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Aniston—she's a classic. For sure, those three are amazing. Joey King, she's amazing. Zendaya is so great. I've been watching a lot of her stuff—she really has done a lot of diverse roles recently. There are so many women in this industry that I look up to and I’m so inspired by. I also love Gwyneth Paltrow... She’s amazing. I’m definitely a fangirl, so I’m just watching and learning and observing and just studying what they do.”
From TikTok To Hollywood
She also got candid about transitioning into an actress from being a social media star.
“In this industry, when you come in and get labeled as one thing... people like to keep you there,” Addison explained. “Which is understandable, and I get it, but what people don’t realize is I’ve always wanted to do acting, I’ve always wanted to do music. I’ve always wanted to do all these other things that they didn’t really get to see or know because I just started being known when I was 19 years old. People haven’t really seen the background, or the classes I used to take and things like that. So I try to tell myself, ‘You have to work that much harder to get people to take you seriously.’”
