Making an impression: Jessica Alba stood out from the crowd in a daring neon dress at the launch of Miu Miu's Bond Street boutique

It can certainly be difficult to stand out from the crowd at a shop launch with crowds of models and all-round beautiful people.

But Jessica Alba certainly managed to make an impression last night in a daring sequinned and neon dress, which she teamed with tan platform sandals and a loose up 'do.

The 29-year-old actress braved the freezing cold temperatures at the opening of the Miu Miu boutique in Bond Street alongside celebrities including American actress Emma Roberts.

Trendsetter: Jessica looked fashion-forward in the outfit, but admitted recently she doesn't often make an effort with her outfits

Before attending the event, Jessica wrote on her Twitter page: 'Off to London -haven't been in snow in a min -apparently we're about 2 encounter more of a "blizzard" -Yikes TG 4 my new winter coat!'

But there were no signs of her warm jacket as Alba arrived at the launch, posing for photographers in the pretty dress inside the store.

Despite being something of a fashion icon, Sin City actress Alba recently revealed she doesn't worry too much about what she wears, but her two-year-old daughter Honor is already turning into a little fashionista.

Lovep-up: Engaged couple Bonnie Wright and Jamie Campbell Bower made an appearance at the event

She said: 'I just wear whatever's easy and matches somewhat. My daughter is normally in the wardrobe with me, pulling all my shoes out, trying on the jewellery!'

And Jessica also revealed that while becoming a mother has definitely made her reconsider her priorities in life, it hasn't prevented her enjoying an evening to herself.

She said: 'Oddly, I think I'm a little more wild and free since I had Honor because once she's in bed all my mom friends come over and we have dance parties at my house. It's really dorky and I probably wouldn't have done that before.

'But no, I don't go out. I hang out with my friends and I'm pretty chilled.'
Other stars to attend the Miu Miu store launch included Harry Potter stars Bonnie Wright and Jamie Campbell Bower, who got engaged earlier this year.

While Bonnie looked pretty in a black and green dress, Bower accessorised his outfit with a huge cast on his left foot, after breaking his ankle.

Bower is understood to have proposed to Wright in April.

A source said at the time: 'All he has told us is that he asked her to marry him and Bonnie said yes.

'He is chuffed to bits and neither of them seem to have any doubts that they are rushing in too soon. We have asked them if it is for real and they have said yes.'
