Vampire Diaries star Phoebe Tonkin turns heads in white gown and ribbon in her hair at the third annual Academy Museum of Motion Pictures gala in LA

Phoebe Tonkin dazzled as she stepped out on the red carpet at the third annual Academy Museum of Motion Pictures gala in Los Angeles on Sunday. 

The Vampire Diaries star, 34, opted for a simple yet elegant look – a strapless white column gown. 

The dress featured a bodice that flowed to a long skirt which swept to the ground. 

The Originals star teamed the frock with the accessory of the moment – a long bow which was fastened to her bun. 

She also boosted her already statuesque height with a pair of chunky white heels.
