Mathilda Mace left nothing to the imagination when she wore a very daring mankini-style ensemble at the British Fashion Awards, held at the Royal Albert Hall on Monday.
The London-based costume, prosthetics and special effects makeup artist risked a wardrobe malfunction as she showed a lot of skin in the barely-there ensemble that nearly covered her assets.
Mathilda posed confidently in the outfit which allowed her to show off her toned cleavage, stomach and legs, with the ensemble featuring a quirky train.
She increased her height with eye-catching black platform boots while making minimal effort to cover up with a cropped black jacket.
Mathilda styled her raven cropped locks with a center part, while adding a pop of color to her striking look with a swipe of red lipstick.
