Liv Tyler has kept a low profile over the last few years, but she made a jaw-dropping return to the red carpet on Wednesday.
The 47-year-old actress stepped out in a stunning Stella McCartney dress for the world premiere of Marvel Studios' Captain America: Brave New World at TCL Chinese Theater in Hollywood.
Liv – whose father is Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler – rocked a risqué black knee-length dress that boasted a sheer panel with polka dots.
While the dress looked business at the front, the sheer panel ran the length of the left side of Liv's body, exposing her naked flesh underneath.

She wore her brunette hair in Hollywood waves and added a bold red lip that accentuated her pearly white smile.

The actress is reprising her role as Betty Ross, an expert in genetic research and daughter of General Thaddeus E. 'Thunderbolt' Ross, the US President and Red Hulk, played by Harrison Ford.
Liv admitted she was "very, very excited" to join the cast during an interview with Extra at the premiere.

Liv said that the role was the "perfect way to lure me back" after taking a break from acting to spend time with her kids, sons Milo, 20, and Sailor, 10, and daughter Lula, eight.
"I've taken a break from acting for the past few years, and I've been home with my children," she continued. "And it was just such a lovely way, after COVID and everything, to come back to something so special.

Liv is also looking forward to her children seeing her on the big screen, adding: "Well, we went to see Dog Man last week, and there was a poster [for Brave New World] and I thought, 'Wow, they've never seen me in a movie ever!' So I get to take them to the movies and see Mommy, which I'm really looking forward to."
Alongside Liv and Harrison, Captain America: Brave New World stars Anthony Mackie, who plays Sam Wilson, the new Captain America.

The actor spoke with People at SDCC about stepping into the late Oscar winner's shoes and paying tribute to him, saying: "He laid a very firm foundation for the character, I respect him enormously in the work that he did in his lifetime.
"God bless his soul. I'm delighted to be able to stand on his shoulders and continue playing the character."
