Bella Thorne channeled her leather mama energy at a screening of her new film Divinity inside the Aero Theatre in Santa Monica on Sunday night.
The 26-year-old former child star covered up her curvaceous 5ft8in figure with a baggy black leather jacket over a black top, which was tucked into distressed blue jeans and knee-high black leather boots.
Bella (born Anabella) toted a matching leather purse and she wore her newly-dyed brunette locks in a tidy updo for the event.
Thorne kept her face mostly make-up free aside from a bit of mascara, concealer, and a pink pout.
The Florida-born, half-Cuban beauty portrays cult leader Ziva in Eddie Alcazar’s hallucinogenic sci-fi thriller Divinity, which will have a wider US release starting November 3.
Q&A time! Bella Thorne channeled her leather mama energy at a screening of her new film Divinity inside the Aero Theatre in Santa Monica on Sunday night
The 88-minute film has only earned $16,170 at the US/Canada box office since opening October 13 and currently has a dismal 56% critic approval rating (out of 32 reviews) on Rotten Tomatoes.
Divinity also stars Stephen Dorff, Scott Bakula, Karrueche Tran, Moises Arias, Jason Genao, Michael O’Hearn, and Emily Willis.
Bella sat beside producer Steven Soderbergh during the post-film Q&A where she defended director Eddie Alcazar for making Divinity without a script.
‘It was so beautiful, the way that you created it,’ Thorne gushed.
‘And as an actor, I’ve been acting since I was eight and I’m 26 now, so I’ve been doing this, like, a good mean portion of my life and I’ve just never worked with a director who, I guess, had such a vision that it couldn’t be put into script format.
‘It couldn’t be just put into here it is, and that was so intriguing for me. So s****y storyboards or not, you got me.’
And while SAG-AFTRA strike rules ordinarily don’t allow actors to promote or attend events connected to films, Divinity received a special SAG-AFTRA interim agreement.
The Breakfast Club Live actress will also play tattooed carnival hustler Annette opposite Aaron Eckhart’s boxer in the Phillips Brothers’ Mississippi-set thriller Rumble Through the Dark, which hits limited US theaters November 3.

It’s hard to believe it’s been a decade since Bella starred as wholesome CeCe Jones in Disney Channel’s sitcom Shake It Up alongside two-time Emmy winner Zendaya.
Missing from Thorne’s side on Sunday 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 Thorne with a ’10-plus-carat emerald-cut diamond ring with baguettes flanking the center stone’ nine months later.
The pansexual, polyamorous wildchild plans on a countryside wedding at a manor in the UK and she wants to wear vintage Schiaparelli or Dior wedding dresses, telling Vogue on May 26: ‘Every bride does not need one gown, but four!’
Mark is Bella’s first public romance since splitting with her prior fiancé – B3N frontman Benjamin Mascolo – in June 2022 after three years of dating.
