Bella Thorne suffers wardrobe malfunction as her heel comes undone while on stage at the 70th edition of the Taormina Film Festival

Bella Thorne suffered a wardrobe malfunction as she took to the stage at the 70th edition of the Taormina Film Festival on Saturday. 

The actress, 26, starred in the thriller Saint Clare alongside Ryan Phillipe, and the film which is based on Don Roff’s novel Clare at Sixteen, opened at Italy's Film Festival. 

While she was on stage, the film star's strap on her heel came undone and she quickly had to try and fix it.

Bella took the mishap in good humour though as she playfully walked around on stage with the strap trailing behind her. 

The star looked sensational as she graced the red carpet in a semi-sheer black dress which boasted a backless design.

The stylish ensemble featured a sheer top to showcase Bella's ample cleavage and boasted a long flowy skirt. 

She teamed a satin black bralette underneath and further accessorised the glamorous look with a layer of chunky bangles. 

The actress, who first received recognition for her role as Margaux Darling in the series Dirty Sexy Money, styled her locks up in an elegant updo and sported a smoky makeup look. 

Bella was also joined on the red carpet by actress Rebecca De Mornay, 64, and film director Mitzi Peirone, 27. 

According to Deadline, the film Saint Clare follows a solitary young woman who is haunted by voices that lead her to assassinate ill-intended people and get away with it.

However, her last kill sucks her down a rabbit hole riddled with corruption, trafficking, and visions from the beyond. 

The film is directed by Italian film director and screenwriter Mitzi who also co-wrote the script with Guinevere Turner. 

While discussing the film, Mitzi said: 'We couldn’t have dreamed of a better debut for our oneiric film than the gorgeously historic Taormina.'

'We are elated and humbled, especially for a picture that delves into spiritual beauty, female sainthood, and fate, there is no better home in the world than Sicily.' 

The 70th edition of the Taormina Film Festival runs from July 12 to July 20. 

It comes after Bella attended Palm Springs Short Film Festival last month. 

She attended the world premiere of the 15-minute short film she wrote, directed, and acted in titled Unsettled. 

The film centres on a young man who is drugged and abducted from a gay club, escapes, and seeks to bring his tormentors to justice in a deeply conservative Bible Belt Oklahoma.

Unsettled is inspired by Jason Parks' real-life story and he chose to bravely play himself, which blew Bella 'out of the water' gushing: 'I couldn't be more proud.'

Bella's directorial effort was nominated for best midnight short, but she wound up losing the trophy to Nina Gantz's short film Wander to Wonder.

Bella is planning on helming a feature-length version of Unsettled titled Colour Your Hurt, as well as directing a feature film called Ash Beneath the Current.

Missing from Bella's side was her British fiancé Mark Emms, whom she originally met on a beach in Ibiza during Cara Delevingne's birthday in August 2022.

The Bad Vegan executive producer popped the question to Bella with a '10-plus-carat emerald-cut diamond ring with baguettes flanking the centre stone' nine months later.

She was also joined on the red carpet by her glamorous pal Rebecca, 64, who cut a stylish figure in a black mini dress which boasted a ruched skirt
