Her new film may be called Drive Angry but Amber Heard had a much happier effect at the Hollywood premiere of the film tonight.
The 24-year-old looked stunning in a strapless sparkling silver dress as she posed on the red carpet at the Arclight cinema in Hollywood.
Her co-star Nicholas Cage looked positively demure in comparison, in a casual black suit jacket, black sweatshirt and jeans.

The film sees Amber play a diner waitress who helps Milton, a man who has has broken out of hell to prevent the cult that murdered his daughter from sacrificing his baby granddaughter.
However, he has to drive fast to get away from his pursuers, namely 'The Accountant' (William Fichtner), who has been sent by Satan to bring Milton back to hell.
'It will appeal to the guys I imagine,' Amber said about the film. 'It also has me in Daisy Dukes which maybe helps pull that audience in.'
But she added that women should like it too.

'I would go see it, if I weren't in it, because it has a lead female hero who is no victim, no damsel, she is no one's romantic lead. She is truly a character unto her own and doesn't need the support of other characters.
'She's a bad a**, Daisy Duke-wearing, Charger-driving, punch-throwing bat-out-of-hell - she's a strong woman.
'And I think for a woman to go into a theatre to watch a woman lead a movie like that, I think that's important. I think women will definitely get a kick out of this movie too.'

Meanwhile, Nicholas Cage will be hoping for a hit after his last two movies The Sorcerer's Apprentice and Season of the Witch flopped at the box office.
He tonight received some support from his son Weston, 20, who bought his girlfriend along to the Hollywood screening.
Weston, Nicholas's son by former girlfriend Christina Fulton, is the lead singer in the black metal band Eyes of Noctum.
