Sophie completed her ensemble with a pair of hoop earrings and a dainty chain, as well as a smattering of rings.
Also turning heads was rising star Mischa Heywood who looked adorable in a pale blue, strapless number with a bubble skirt.
The 15-year-old's dress featured a floral motif across the front and she added a pair of strappy beige heels.
The Aussie actress added a fine gold necklace and small hoop earrings while wearing her hair down in soft curls.
For makeup, Mischa chose a rosy palette with some highlighter as well as a pink lipstick.
Another of the film's cast, Sora Wong, also put in a glamorous appearance in a black, lace ruffled mini dress.
She added a short leather jacket which sat off her shoulders as well as edgy biker boots.
The actress completed her look with a simple necklace and a soft, natural makeup look while letting her dark hair fall in loose strands.
Bring her back is the second original feature from Australian filmmakers Danny and Michael Philippou, after the international success of their first film, Talk To Me.
Oscar-nominated English actress Sally Hawkins, 48, known for her roles in Paddington, Wonka and Happy-Go-Lucky, stars in the supernatural chiller.
Hawkins was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in the 2013 film Blue Jasmine.
She was nominated again in 2018 for her leading role in the Best Picture winning film The Shape of Water.
Hawkins plays grieving mother Laura, who attempts to bring her daughter back from the dead using a paranormal ritual.
The Adelaide-born twin brothers, 32 who have a YouTube channel called RackaRacka, re-teamed with independent production company A24 and Causeway's Samantha Jennings and Kristina Ceyton who produced their box office hit Talk to Me.
Ahead of the premiere, star Mischa Heywood revealed that filming Bring Her Back was anything but scary.
'It was just like a big party. It was the funnest thing ever,' she said of her experience playing Catherine in the film.
The boys started out filming stunts and pranks in their backyard at the age of seven, but soon graduated from home videos to Hollywood flicks.
'They're so full of energy and bubbly, which is great because when you're filming something so serious and devastating like Bring Her Back I guess you have to have that fun on set to lighten the mood,' Mischa told Daily Mail Australia of the YouTubers turned horror directors.
'They're just the sweetest human beings.'
And the RackaRacka brothers weren't the only ones on set who had the young actress starstruck.
'I think my highlight when filming was probably meeting Sally Hawkins,' she said, adding that she was 'so cool' and 'hardworking'.
Sally, who has featured in mega box office films such as Wonka, The Shape of Water and Paddington, plays Mischa's mum Laura in the flick.
Despite throwing herself into the 'grown-up' movie genre, Mischa still had time to be a teen on set, playing foosball with her castmates between takes and going out for YoChi with her co-star Sora Wong, who plays Piper.
Sora was one of her 'best friends' while filming Bring Her Back and the girls 'helped each other' while filming, bonding over their shared interests and similar age.
It was Sora who broke the big news to Mischa that they'd be heading to Los Angeles for the film's US premiere, a 'surreal' moment for the young star.
'LA has been on my bucket list for years,' she said.
Bring Her Back is set to hit Aussie screens on May 29.

Kym Marsh puts on a leggy display in a floral minidress as she films dramatic scenes for Channel 5 series Imposter in a beachside carpark in Melbourne
Kym Marsh put on a leggy display in a red floral minidress as she filmed dramatic scenes for her new Channel 5 series Imposter on Tuesday. The British actress, put on an animated display as she arrived on set in a beachside carpark in Melbourne, Australia. Kym turned heads in the eye catching number which she teamed with a pair of orange lace up woven wedges and a grey jacket. The former Hear'Say singer was spotted arriving on set in a pair of black UGG boots and was wrapped up in a long black padded coat. Braving the winter weather in Australia, Kym slipped off her cosy shoes for the heeled sandals and was helped into her cropped grey jacket by a crew member. She looked in good spirits as she chatted away to crew members while holding a hot beverage. The former soap star was joined on set by Australian actress Jane Harber, who cut a smart figure in a blue suit which she layered over a shirt and dark waistcoat. Kym and Jame will share the screen with Dani Minogue and Neighbours legend Jackie Woodburne. Imposter is said to be centred around a murder at a seaside resort. Jackie will play matriarch Helen, whose refusal to sell her seaside hotel sparks a dramatic family feud with her three adult children. The series marks Jackie's first non-Neighbours role in more than 30 years. The plot thickens when Amanda, played by Kym, arrives claiming to be Helen's long-lost daughter given up for adoption years ago. As Amanda integrates into the family, doubts arise about her true identity, leading to a gripping tale of deception and betrayal that culminates in murder. It comes after Kym seemingly hit back at a viral 'fat-shaming' clip from her Hear'Say heyday as she flashed her abs in a mirror selfie on Instagram. She looked chilly as a crew member fixed her summery outfit ahead of the scene The former soap star was joined on set by Australian actress Jane Harber, who cut a smart figure in a blue suit which she layered over a shirt and dark waistcoat In the resurfaced 2002 clip, the singer was seen being ordered to ' lose weight ' by judge Nigel Lythgoe - who earned the nickname 'Nasty Nigel' for his scathing behaviour on pioneering ITV talent show Popstars. Now, taking to social media, Kym showed off her sizzling figure as she posed for a new selfie. The star turned heads as she flaunted her toned physique in a black sports bra and leggings. 'Building a better me,' she penned on top of the snap. It comes after her former bandmate Myleene Klass, 47, took to Instagram to lash out at comments made by judge Nigel on the ITV show. During their time on the show, Nigel criticised Kym's looks and instructed her to 'lose some weight' as he quizzed her over her diet and fitness during the formation of Hear'Say, their band which ran from 2001 to 2002. In the clip, Kym asked, 'Do you think I'm fat?', to which Nigel replied, 'I think you've put weight on over Christmas, are you exercising, is the diet right?' Kym replied: 'I've just started it today', prompting Nigel to add, 'You need to lose some weight you're going on show six weeks from now, six weeks.' Myleene has reshared the video to her Instagram Stories and said being fat-shamed was a 'daily' occurrence, while stylists would remove sizes from clothes to hide 'the shame' of having double-digit sizes. She wrote: 'Yes Daily. Stylist often cut the sizes out of some bands outfits to hide the 'shame' of 'double digits'. 'My Hear'say diaries are FULL of this s***. The boys were also shamed. Remember, TFI Friday had scales on set.' Kym has been open about her struggles with self-image in the past, saying she became bulimic after she started comparing herself to smaller girls while at stage school when she was younger.
