The actress is Mia Sara who made her debut as Princess Lili in the 1985 fantasy film Legend.

However, she is best known for her breakthrough role in teen movie Ferris Bueller’s Day Off in 1986.

In the film – in which she starred alongside lead actor Matthew Broderick – she played Sloane Peterson who was known for being the sex symbol of the movie.

Away from Ferris Bueller, Mia who hails from New York, also portrayed Melissa Walker in the science fiction film Timecop back in 1994.

Although Mia looks very different from her acting heyday, the 57-year-old still looks incredible and oozes glamor.

Showing off her age-defying looks, the star stepped out for a rare appearance at a showbiz event.

Mia was spotted on the red carpet at The Life of Chuck premiere in Los Angeles.

She looked stunning in her black top and matching skirt.

MARRIAGE AND KIDS

During her time in the spotlight, Mia has been married twice.

Her first husband was Jason Connery, who is the son of the late James Bond actor, Sean Connery.

They met in 1995, on the set of Bullet to Beijing, and wed the following year.

During their time together they welcomed son Dashiell in 1997.

However, after seven years together, Mia and Jason divorced in 2002.

During a previous interview with The Times, Jason spoke out about how the divorce was a shock and how he found it hard.

“I suddenly saw all the parallels between my dad, my mum, and me, because they were both actors — like my ex and I,” he said at the time.

Sara then moved on with Brian Henson, with the couple welcoming a daughter in 2005 before getting married five years later.
