Madelyn Cline took the plunge at the 15th Annual NFL Honors, which was held at Palace Of Fine Arts in San Francisco, CA on Thursday.

The 28-year-old Outer Banks star bared her chest in a sleeveless, baby-blue ruched gown featuring draping of the skirt tucked into the waist-line along with black peep-toe heels.

Hairstylist Marc Mena coiffed Cline's 'f***a** bob' for the sporty function just ahead of Super Bowl LX, which she'll attend this Sunday at Levi's Stadium in nearby Santa Clara.

Make-up artist Jennifer Luney Tioseco fully contoured the South Carolina native's complexion and she defined her bushy brows and pink pout.

Cline was at the NFL Honors to serve presenting duties.

The Map That Leads to You actress arrived hours earlier by private plane with Privé Revaux co-founder Dave Osokow and Tioseco.

Cline's red carpet sighting came three days after she commented '[love of my life]' on gossip site DeuxMoi's post alleging a 'new couple alert' and 'real romance' with friend Lukas Gage.

The I Know What You Did Last Summer star was last pictured with the 30-year-old White Lotus alum outside Paris Hilton's Infinite Icon: A Visual Memoir after-party in LA on January 21.

Celebs like Vanderpump Rules alum Katie Maloney, transgender trailblazer Dylan Mulvaney and nepo baby Iris Apatow contributed excited comments about the 'hard launch' of the so-called couple.

This, two months after Gage confessed on the In Your Dreams podcast that he identified as '10 percent straight' and had sex with 'multiple' women but still doesn't like 'the idea of going down [on a woman].'

However, the I Wrote This For Attention author - who suffers from borderline personality disorder - admitted he cannot connect with women 'emotionally' as he is 'definitely queer' and will 'end up with a guy for sure.'

'I think everyone's beautiful and hot, and I think I genuinely loved my girlfriend in the book that I talked about. It wasn’t me hiding who I was and trying to lie and deceive her,' Gage told Them last October.

'I don't know, I fall in love with someone every day. That's a problem. Maybe it's not.'

The Overcompensating actor finalized his divorce from Kim Kardashian's hairstylist Chris Appleton in 2024 after only seven months of wedded bliss.

Gage will next portray Robert in Karim Ainouz's Spanish-set family drama Rosebush Pruning, which premieres February 14 at the 76th Berlin International Film Festival.

The 5ft6in stunner concludes her role as Kooks princess Sarah Cameron in the 10-episode fifth (and final) season of Netflix mystery teen drama Outer Banks, which premieres later this year.

TMZ just released footage of Cline defending a PA on the set after director Jonas Pate grabbed her arm and seemingly berated her on set, but there's no audio.

Last month, Deadline reported that the former child model 'was in talks' to play a pop star in Judd Apatow's untitled 2027 comedy at Universal alongside Glen Powell and Cristin Milioti.

Cline will also portray Lorna in Marc Webb's yacht-set action thriller Day Drinker for Lionsgate, which reunites Blow stars Johnny Depp and Penélope Cruz.
