Everyone starts from somewhere, and up-and-coming celebrities like “Pretty Little Liars” star Ashley Benson are no exception. Ashley recently arrived at the 2016 ELLE “Women in Hollywood” awards night with another newbie actress Sasha Lane, who had made her debut performance for “American Honey” this year alongside Shia Labeouf.
We think it’s great that Ashley remembered her roots, and didn’t pretend to be too good for other up-and-coming stars.

Ashley amped up her classic ankle strap sandals with the Jimmy Choo “Minny”
Ashley went with a classic little black dress, picking a plunging number by Marc Jacobs. The 26-year-old dressed up her selection with a pair of Ana Khouri earrings, some Neil Lane jewelry and a pair of Jimmy Choo “Minny” sandals in black satin.
It’s pretty hard to go wrong with a classic LBD, but this one has “poor fit” written all over it. From the awkward waist shape, gaping armholes, and finally to the obviously-taped neckline, we could have gone out to Forever 21 to pick out a dress that would have looked way better on Ashley.

Luckily, Ashley’s disposition saved the day. Not only was the actress oozing with confidence on the green carpet, she even helped rookie actress Sasha gain some new followers.
Ashley uploaded a photo with her friend with the caption, “This one ❤️.” We know how important social media is for budding Hollywood actors, so it was sweet of Benzo to give Sasha’s 15.4k following a little help.
