Nico Parker wowed on the red carpet at the Train Your Dragon Immersive Experience screening at Frameless in London, this week.
The 20-year-old showed up and showed out in an elegant cream and pink dress with sheer laced sleeves and back which draped to the floor.
The British actress paired the look with some pointed nude heels and some simple jewellery.
If you haven’t already guessed Nico is the daughter to none other than actress Thandiwe Newton and famous director Ol Parker.
Thandie and Ol also share 24-year-old Ripley and their youngest son Booker.
Nico shot to stardom at just 14-years-old with her Hollywood debut of the remake of Disney’s classic live-action Dumbo.
She has gone on to have notable roles in HBO’s hit series The Last Of Us and Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy.
Now, the actress is set to star in her biggest role to date as Astrid in the upcoming live-action remake of the 2010 film How To Train Your Dragon.
The film is set to release in the UK on June 9.
The story will follow Hiccup played by standout actor Mason Thames on his journey bonding with a dragon, Gerard Butler will also be starring in the film as his father Stoick.
This week, while promoting the film, Nico opened up about her famous mum and dad, on ITV’s Lorraine, and revealed how “supportive” they were about her career.
“My parents, the really lovely thing about both of them is that their advice is predominantly about, you know, how to be a good person, rather than, you know, how to behave on a film set,” she said.
“And I think that what’s lovely about that is that the two kind of bleed into one another, because I think it’s much more important to be a nice and normal person and be kind to others, rather than, you know, know what angle best suits you.
“So, the advice that I get from them feels very, very much more so about life and things like that.

“And the wonderful thing about that is that you can then take it on to work and wherever you go.”
Back in 2018, Thandiwe appeared on UK daytime show This Morning and spoke about how she manages her daughter entering the acting world.
She said: “Having a mother and father in the industry… she’s been on endless sets. It’s not that she takes it for granted, but it’s not a world that she feels she’s not entitled to be in.
“(Plus) she has her mum right there like a lioness checking that everything is looked after. You can’t stop the industry operating the way it has unless the truth comes out.
“I feel this great relief, excitement for the women coming into this industry now,” she added.
