bella red carpet the hostDisney Child Star Bella Thorne is becoming a red carpet darling! We spotted the Shake It Up star at the March 20th L.A. premiere of The Host wearing a strapless dress from the Alice + Olivia Fall 2012 Collection. The designer is known for retro silhouettes with modern and feminine detail, and Bella looks like she could step back in time and blend right in.

Making her look all about the dress, Bella downplayed accessories, opting for minimal jewelry and placing attention on the oversized white flower adorning her hair. And she is obviously a manicure maven: Bella added a pop of color to her ensemble with trendy aqua nails and silver glitter tips. Want to try it out? Here are DIY tips from TheSparkle.net.

Do Bella and Zendaya swap shoe stories? Bella’s black lace-up sandals were similar to the Jimmy Choo heels her co-star wore last week. But Bella wins the bargain shopper award: It looks like she got hers from the Prabal Gurung Collection at Target.  While we like her shoe + dress pairing, a pair or red or pink pumps would have added a more youthful touch to the whole look.

So which Bella look did you like best? Pretty in Pink or Blue, White & Retro?
