She completed her show-stopping look with matching heels and wore her blonde hair down in bouncy waves, adding a subtle smokey eye and a nude lip to showcase her flawless complexion.

In the movie, Rebel plays a cheerleader trying to reclaim her high-school life after being in a coma for two decades. The official synopsis reads: "She's the captain of the cheerleading squad, dating the quarterback and is well on her way to becoming the prom queen. Girls want to be her and guys want to be with her. She has it all — until she falls off the top of the cheerleading pyramid and goes into a coma.

Rebel is joined in the film by a whole host of Hollywood stars, including Alicia Silverstone and This is Us actor Justin Hartley.

Recently, Rebel opened up about how she changed her career path and became an actor after taking a year off to travel to Africa and it was here that she caught malaria and her life changed forever.

"I had malaria," she told Today stars Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie, whilst revealing how she decided to become an actress despite going on to study law and later graduating from Australia's top law school.

"I took a gap year in between high school and college and I went to Africa for the year, got malaria, really, really badly, and I hallucinated that I was an actress and that I was really good and so I came back to Australia and said: 'Guys, I think… I mean, I will go to law school as well, but I think I've got to pursue acting too, because I had the vision."
