Ferrera dares to don another dress at Cannes after a prankster tried to look up her dress on the red carpet

Serial red carpet pest Vitalii Sediuk struck again on Friday, sneaking under America Ferrera's glamorous gown as she walked the red carpet in Cannes, France.

But the 30-year-old actress appears to have stashed that horrific incident behind her.

Putting on a brave face, the Los Angeles-native beamed while daring to don another dress to officially open the American Pavilion during the 67th Annual Cannes Film Festival on Saturday.

Perhaps not taking a risk at being exposed again, the Ugly Betty star kept it simple in a tight knee-length number that was sure to also accentuate her trim figure.

The short-sleeved dress was black and white with rust-coloured details including a tie-neck.

The star appeared sophisticated as she stood in white peep-toe pumps in front of the gorgeous French Riviera waterfront.

Another chance to shine: The actress had the honour of cutting the celebratory red ribbon

Is that all? The star appeared to enjoy cutting the ribbon so much, she wished there was more to be done

Her brunette locks flowed down in loose waves, as she happily took a big pair of scissors to cut the celebratory red ribbon.

Following, America raised a glass of bubbly.

Fortunately, she seemed at peace after Friday's event when Ukrainian journalist Vitalii caused quite the scene.
