Look out, LA!

Christian Wilkins has taken his red carpet domination abroad, attending a glitzy Hollywood premiere in a showstopping mini-dress.

The Australian socialite and son of Nine showbiz veteran Richard Wilkins turned heads in a sequined Romance Was Born outfit as he hit the red carpet at the Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin screening at Warner Brothers studios on Friday night, local time.

The popular model, who attended the US event as a guest of streaming platform Binge*, is emerging as a fashion force on the Aussie social scene, after his major statement on the Logies red carpet in a sheer backless gown.

The headline-grabbing moment was not without some ridicule, with Christian calling out Twitter trolls who said his outfit was “bulls**t” and “not normal.”

Speaking to news.com.au at the PLL premiere, Christian said he was unbothered by hateful comments.

“They don’t know me … If you met me and attacked my personality, that would upset me, but if you think I’m wrong for wearing a dress because I have a doodle, you’re an idiot,” he said.

He added: “Not only do I think it’s homophobic, but it’s misogynistic. It’s this notion of ‘I’m a man and I’m dressing like a woman and therefore that makes me less.’

“That’s a disgusting notion. It’s 2022, whatever.

“There’s nothing more beautiful in the world than someone who feels beautiful in an outfit. It just radiates through you.”

“There’s nothing more beautiful in the world than someone who feels beautiful in an outfit.”

Christian said he developed the confidence to express himself thanks to unwavering support from his parents, including mother Michelle Burke.

“I remember I was in year 6, and I was playing dress-ups at a sleepover wearing a little pink dress and I started crying, and mum asked why I was upset and I said, ‘I like wearing this little pink skirt and I feel like that’s bad,’” Christian said.

“But mum was like, ‘You can wear it if you want it, there’s nothing wrong with that.’ Having that confirmed to me at a young age was everything.”

Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin, which hits streaming on Binge in Australia July 29, is touted as a new chapter to the uber popular franchise with a host of fresh faces among the cast.

US actresses Bailee Madison, Chandler Kinney, Maia Reficco, Malia Pules and Zaria play the five new ‘Liars’ in the debut 10-part season, which was written and produced by Riverdale creator Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa.

The five young stars walked the red carpet before they sat down for a Q&A with original PLL actress Lucy Hale.

VIP guests were treated to a special screening of the show before attending an after-party which saw the Warner Bros lot transform into a prom-inspired playground.
