Kiernan Shipka, 16, looks like a princess in a ruffled grey dress at the Costume Designer's Guild Awards

She may be just 16-years-old, but Kiernan Shipka is already making waves in the fashion world as well as the acting world, judging from her fabulous latest look.

The Mad Men star looked every inch the style icon in the making as she put on a chic display at the 18th Costume Designer's Guild Awards sponsored by Lacoste in Los Angeles.

Rocking a fun and flirty grey ruffled dress, Kiernan looked incredible at the star-studded bash at the Beverly Hilton on Tuesday.

Kiernan cut an elegant figure as she glided out on stage to present costume designer Julie Vogel with the Excellence in Short Form Design Award.

Her dramatic gown fitted her like a glove, with a flattering A-line skirt that fell down to her ankles.

She let her natural beauty shine through wearing minimal make-up, although she did ramp up her black smokey eye for dramatic effect.

She completed her look in a pair of open-toed high-heeled sandals with black and gold detailing, and a black pedicure.

Meanwhile, Kiernan has reflected on life after Mad Men in a recent interview after saying goodbye to her character Sally Draper.

After the show's finale last May she told Marie Claire magazine that she was sad to have reached the end of an era, which saw her star alongside her on-screen parents Jon Hamm and January Jones.

'It was bittersweet - a really good time, but very sad,' she said of her last day on set. 'Lots of tears.'

She was also crestfallen to leave behind the character she had played so well for eight years, explaining: 'Sally is very strong and independent. Very perceptive too.

'I don't think she'd want to be friends with me, but I'd love to be friends with her!'
