She shot to fame playing rebellious child superhero Hit Girl in cult comic book film Kick-Ass.

But Chloe Moretz has grown up a lot in the two years since the movie was released, as she showed at tonight's premiere of new Martin Scorsese flick Hugo.

The 14-year-old looked every inch the classy young lady as she posed in a flowing champagne coloured vintage Dolce & Gabbana dress in New York.

Scroll down to see the trailer...

And it seems that one person shared a similar inspiration to Chloe.

Emily Mortimer, who has a supporting role in the film, also attended in a similar coloured dress.





Mortimer attended with her husband Alessandro Nivola, and they were certainly the most glamorous couple of the evening.

Chloe is one of the rising stars of Hollywood, and her performance in Scorsese's highly rated new movie is already being praised by critics.

The early 20th century period festive epic sees her play a young girl Isabel, a friend of the titular main character Hugo, played by 14-year-old English actor Asa Butterfield.

The youngster is an an orphan living a secret life in the walls of a Paris train station in the early 1930s, and he must repair a damaged automaton toy to discover a message from his dead father, who is played by Jude Law.

Much of the action takes place in the station, and Chloe said she could not believe the scale of the set that was made to bring it to life for the $170m budgeted flick.

She said: 'It was a full-scale train station. It was built in two studios placed side by side, which made it gigantic.

And they built, to scale, an actual train station. It truly was one of the most magnificent things I’d ever seen.

I walked in and saw it for the first time and thought, “It’s really happening.” It was beautiful.'

Her co-star Asa, who hails from London, also attended the premiere, and looked more than a little like fellow childrens' literary and movie favourite Harry Potter.

Seasoned actor Ben Kingsley, who plays a toy maker who befriends Hugo, and turns out to be legendary film pioneer father Georges Melies, also attended, wearing a fetching black suit with open-necked shirt.
Also following this more laid-back stylistic mode was Ali G comic Sacha Baron Cohen, who plays a bumbling station inspector in the flick.
But maestro himself obviously prefers a more traditional style, with Scorsese wearing a smart black suit and blue tie, while his wife Helen Morris also wore a snazzy champagne trouser suit.
Martin said his own relationship with his father and the cinema inspired him to make the movie.
He said: 'My father often took me to the movies when I was a child.
‘The movie theatre was a special place for us. It was a time for us to be alone and to share powerful emotional experiences together.’
The Taxi Driver director's old Departed chum Vera Farmiga was obviously keen on seeing the family friendly flick, as she also attended despite the fact she had no part in the movie.
