The Married At First Sight star turned heads as she flaunted her incredible weight loss in a figure-hugging ensemble from Zara.
The white ensemble featured a square neckline and wide straps, contrast trims and a hem detail with embroidery and faux pearl appliqué.
Bec opted to keep things classic, accessorising with a simple Dior saddlebag valued at $7,000, and several pieces of jewellery.
However, all eyes were on Bec's lean figure as she arrived at MAFS star Jamie Marinos' wild 30th birthday.

But after what she calls a transformative year, the Adelaide-based account manager is walking into the upcoming season of Married At First Sight with something she never truly had before – confidence.
The 35-year-old says she once viewed herself through a brutally negative lens, admitting: 'I hated myself for my whole life, I thought that I was ugly'.

Bec claims that mindset shaped everything from how she dated to how she carried herself, with self-doubt becoming a constant background noise.
That all began to shift after she decided she was done living in self-loathing and committed to rebuilding her self-esteem from the inside out.
In the past year, Bec has lost 27kg and embraced a new lifestyle that included keto before she pivoted into Pilates and weight training.
She says the physical change was only part of it – what mattered more was learning to appreciate herself enough to believe love could be possible.
'I've worked really hard, I was keto and then I got into Pilates and weight training and I transformed myself and I thought, "If I love myself then why can't someone else?"' she told Adelaide Now.

Bec is paired with Melbourne-based real estate agent Danny Hewitt on the dating show.
While she's presenting as strong and self-assured, Bec admits handing her romantic future to the experts is confronting, especially knowing every moment will be dissected by viewers at home.

She says she's bracing for backlash as well as support, and hopes she can do her family proud while representing South Australia on the national stage.
It comes after Bec was spotted out and about at her local shopping centre this week, but she was looking for more than just fruit and veg.
She was spotted at a magazine rack at the supermarket checkout feverishly scouring pages of newspapers and magazines, possibly looking for a mention of her MAFS exploits.
Dressed in a sleeveless black top and matching pants, the real estate agent was also seen with a small basket of groceries.
As she perused one publication, Bec was also chatting to someone on her phone which was held in the crook of her neck.

It's unsurprising that Bec would be looking for her name in headlines given the drama she has generated in the first week of the Channel Nine series.
Married At First Sight continues Sunday at 7pm on Channel Nine.
