The 23-year-old was snapped in New York at the premiere for the new Prime Video series We Were Liars.
But can you guess who she is? Or who her A-list dad is?
The lady in question is Esther McGregor, the daughter of Scottish actor Ewan McGregor.
Ewan, 54, has had a massive career in Hollywood, starring in blockbusters including Star Wars, Trainspotting and Moulin Rouge.
Esther has now followed in her father's footsteps and is enjoying her own successful acting career.
On Tuesday evening, she was snapped in a stunning beaded crop top and matching skirt at the premiere of We Were Liars.
Esther stars as Mirren Sinclair in the eight-part series, which is based on the novel of the same name by E. Lockhart.
The story follows Mirren's 17-year-old sister Cadence, who is trying to piece together her memories of a fateful summer after suffering a head injury.
We Were Liars is due to hit Prime on June 18 and it is Esther's first big streaming role.
Last year, she starred as Nicole Kidman's on-screen daughter in the movie Babygirl.
Ewan McGregor emotional as he's awarded star on Hollywood Walk of Fame
In a recent interview, Esther admitted she has always wanted to be like her dad Ewan and "came out singing".
Esther's mum is also Eve Mavrakis, a French production designer, so the arts was definitely in the blood.
She has already starred alongside Ewan in Star Wars spin-off Obi-Wan Kenobi and the drama Bleeding Love, but her most recent roles have been without him by her side.
Speaking to ELLE, Esther recently said: "I definitely came out singing, for sure. But being in close proximity to anything will build its charm - I immediately fell in love with it.
"I want to give the gratitude that I think deserves its place, in terms of being raised in a family in film.
"Being able to be on sets really aided that love and that breath and that heartbeat."
She added: "As much as I don't think I would be able to do anything else, who knows?
"It was the way that I was born, the world I was born into. So I feel very thankful that I'm able to do what I do, because I need it."

Ewan, meanwhile, previously ruled out any suggestion that Esther's career has only come off the back of his own success.
The Golden Globe and Emmy Award-winning actor spoke out after Esther landed her cameo alongside him in the Disney+ miniseries, Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Speaking to James Corden on The Late, Late Show in 2022, Ewan said: "I'm sure everybody thinks she got the job because of me, but really she didn't. She auditioned for the role.
"You don't really know with your kids until that moment when I was acting with her and it felt really normal and natural."
Ewan has five children: Clara, 28, Esther, 23, Jamyan, also 23, and Anouk, 13, with his first wife Eve, and Laurie, three, with his current partner Mary Elizabeth Winstead.

Clarkson's Farm star Kaleb Cooper admits things are 'not good' in health update
Clarkson's Farm star Kaleb Cooper has informed his fans he won't be able to 'move around' as usual in his latest Instagram update after suffering a 'painful 'injury Kaleb Cooper has bravely opened up about his "painful" health woes after suffering an injury. The much-loved star of Clarkson's Farm took to Instagram stories to update his followers on an unfortunate mishap that landed him in hospital. Kaleb candidly expressed to his fans that he had indeed fractured his ankle and was now confined to a safety boot, remarking "not good". Nonetheless, the resilient farmer is not letting this dampen his spirits or his dedication to his supporters, reassuring them on Instagram that he will be powering through to make it to the Three Counties Show. Kaleb assured with determination: "I may be hobbling around as I've fractured my ankle, but I'll still be at the 3 Counties Show on the Sunday." His commitment is underlined by his promise: "I'll be doing talks throughout the day, and Hawkestone Cider will be there. So, do pop along and say hello. I'll be there - don't you worry! I'm looking forward to it," reports Gloucestershire Live. This news arrives hot on the heels of Clarkson's Farm releasing its fourth season to acclaim on Prime Video, and there's already buzz about a potential fifth series. Jeremy Clarkson himself has hinted at a well-deserved respite for the show during a conversation with The Sunday Times, considering the tireless work of the team. Jeremy reflected on the intense filming schedule: "Whatever happens we'll definitely take a short break as the crews are all worn out. We've been filming here two or three days a week, every week, for five years. Everybody could do with a rest." Since its launch in 2021, Clarkson's Farm has been a smash hit, propelling Kaleb Cooper to fame, leading him to tour the UK and even write his own book. While Kaleb was off captivating audiences with his speaking events, Jeremy Clarkson introduced viewers to the new, glamorous farmhand Harriet Cowan. Amidst a flurry of speculation, Clarkson put an end to rumours that Kaleb had been "replaced" on Clarkson's Farm. In a candid Instagram video, Jeremy set the record straight: " There have been lots of reports that Kaleb has been 'replaced'-well, no, he hasn't." The seasoned broadcaster, now 65, elaborated: "What happened is this, he went away on his speaking tour, for a couple of months because he imagined that after four years, I'd be able to manage on my own. "I didn't - I made a complete hash of everything and had to bring in a young girl called Harriet. Harriet is brilliant and looked after the fort until he returned. That is it - that's the story!".

Charles joined by David Beckham and Meryl Streep to celebrate award winners
Charles met David Beckham, Stanley Tucci and Penny Lancaster, all King's Foundation ambassadors, alongside friends of the charitable body, Hollywood stars Kate Winslet and Meryl Streep, at the St James's Palace awards ceremony. Prizes including Young Entrepreneur and Advocate of the Year were presented by the celebrities including the King Charles III Harmony Award, recognising a long-term commitment to the foundation's mission of creating a world where people, places and the planet can live in harmony. Charles met his foundation's famous supporters and award winners before touring stands showcasing the charity's work, and Winslet smiled as she told him: 'Don't worry, I'll be all in – I've got your back.' Celebrity chef Raymond Blanc hailed the King for his campaigning over the decades on issues like communities, sustainability and traditional crafts that underpin the foundation, which is celebrating its 35th anniversary. His ITV series Raymond Blanc's Royal Kitchen Gardens took him to palaces like Hampton Court and Hillsborough, as well as Highgrove House and the Castle of Mey – places Charles calls home. Blanc, a foundation ambassador, said after meeting Charles: 'I think what the King has done is extraordinary. He's done it for many, many years – from the 1970s, about the same time I arrived in England – and my values are his values. 'There's a deep belief in connecting human beings with communities, with agriculture, with sustainability, management of waste, management of energy, and he has done it for the last 45, 50 years.' Speaking about filming at the King's Scottish retreat, the Castle of Mey, which once belonged to his grandmother the Queen Mother, Blanc added: 'I really believe he got all his values seeing his grandma in this beautiful space. 'So natural, close to the sea, at the tip of Scotland where there was such a reservoir of natural things.' Blanc's words were echoed by Penny Lancaster who praised the monarch for creating the awards and highlighting the needs of the planet throughout his adult life. She added: 'The King may have been accused of hugging trees and people thinking he was mad when he started talking about the environment all that time ago, but he was at the forefront then and now has been proved right with everything he said and now we're all just trying to play catch up. 'I really recognise the beauty in the way he is trying to get us on board with his knowledge and if we can pass that on to the younger generation, and save some of the traditional skills like we've seen with these winners today, we can all be a part of making a difference.' The King's Foundation, previously known as The Prince's Foundation following an amalgamation of Charles' charities which stretch back to 1990, aims to 'advocate for the change His Majesty wants to see in the world'. The Emerging Talent prize was presented by Beckham, the former England football captain rumoured to be knighted soon, to Emily Hurst who has shown exceptional talent and commitment while on a King's Foundation programme. She recently completed the Chanel and King's Foundation Metiers d'Art Fellowship in Millinery, based at Highgrove Gardens after she had become fascinated with the heritage craft of straw braiding and began learning to produce hats from the material. She said: 'Working at Highgrove was absolutely the best place to be, surrounded by so much inspiration from His Majesty's garden and learning from some of the best milliners with country, I'm so incredibly honoured.'
