The actress is Mia Sara who shot to fame in the mid-80s.
The movie star made her debut as Princess Lili in the 1985 fantasy film Legend.
However, she is best known for her breakthrough role in teen movie, Ferris Bueller's Day Off in 1986.
In the film - which she starred alongside lead actor Matthew Broderick - she played Sloane Peterson, who was known for being the sex symbol of the movie.
Away from Ferris Bueller, Mia who hails from New York, also portrayed Melissa Walker in the science fiction film Timecop back in 1994.
Although Mia looks very different from her acting heyday, she still looks incredible and oozes glamor.
Showing off her age-defying good looks, the star stepped out for a rare appearance at a showbiz event.
Mia was spotted on the red carpet at The Life of Chuck premiere in Los Angeles.
She looked stunning in her black top and matching skirt.
MARRIAGE AND KIDS
During her time in the spotlight, Mia has been married twice.

Her first husband was Jason Connery, who is the son of the late James Bond actor, Sean Connery.
They met in 1995, on the set of Bullet to Beijing, and wed the following year.
During their time together they welcomed their son Dashiell, in 1997.
However, after seven years together, Mia and Jason divorced in 2002.
During a previous interview with The Times, Jason spoke out about how the divorce was a shock and how he found it hard.
"I suddenly saw all the parallels between my dad, my mum, and me, because they were both actors — like my ex and I," he said at the time.
Sara then moved on with Brian Henson, with the couple welcoming a daughter in 2005, before getting married five years later.

Animals impacted by deadly Texas floods get private flight to safety to find new homes
Watch the heart-warming moment pets affected by the devastating Texas floods get a private flight to safety by animal rescue charities. Footage shared by the Humane Society of North Texas on Thursday (10 June) shows numerous carriers filled with shelter pets lined up on the tarmac after being transported across the state to Fort Worth. The charity said: 'By clearing kennel space and welcoming shelter pets into our care, we're also giving lost and found pets in the flood zone a chance to reunite with the people who love them.' The operation was ordered by charity Wings of Rescue, which also flew a plane full of essential supplies, including pet food and pet care products, to flood-hit central Texas.
