Shameless sex symbol Emmy Rossum keeps it classy in a lacy blue dress as she steps out for TV appearance

She recently told SELF magazine that she is ‘probably in the best shape that I've ever been in.’
But Emmy Rossum didn’t feel the need to flaunt her awesome figure on Tuesday as she made her way to a television appearance.
The 26-year-old was spotted in New York leaving her accommodation in a demure blue dress.

At a first glance, the lacy see-through number gave an illusion of showing off her skin beneath, but Emmy was wearing a nude body slip, ensuring her modesty remained intact.
The actress's frock covered up her cleavage with the hemline falling just below the knee.

 

Emmy only hinted at what lies beneath with a thin belt that nipped in her waist and a halter neck design up top which showed off her shoulders and she completed her look with a pair of Christian Louboutin peep toe heels.

What a difference: She looked a far cry from her character on Shameless (pictured right)

She let her wavy brunette locks hang loose and carried a brown tote bag as she made her way to the Tonight Show with Jay Leno studios.
The Shameless star looked a far cry from her trashy on-screen character - who is lusted after regardless of her shenanigans - as she kept it classy for her interview.
She has been across the pond promoting her new film beautiful creatures and has obviously hiding her jetlag well after only arriving back in the States on Monday.

She wrote on Twitter: ‘Happy Tuesday peeps. Heading over to chat with Mr Jay Leno tonight. Hopefully my Russia jet-lag will have worn off by then! Watch tonight!’

Emmy added that her mother has been having trouble saying the name of her famous interviewer correctly.
She joked: ‘I wonder if ALL moms pronounce things wrong? For some reason my mom truly believes Jay's last name is pronounced Leee-no. Like Reno, Nevada.’
