Higgins (35) is a contestant on season 4 of The Traitors US, which is currently airing.

She’s making the most of being stateside, and the Golden Globes is the latest high-profile event she’s attended.

On the carpet, she wore a figure-hugging black floor-length gown with dramatic gold shawl designed by Egyptian designer MarMar Halim. According to the designer’s website, the dress cost €2,551.

Her wavy bob evoked old Hollywood.

Americans reacted to the look online, with comments saying that Higgins “ate that” and “stood out” among the other stars.

Higgins had been relatively unknown to viewers of The Traitors US, but has quickly made her mark in the castle.

In an interview with Extra TV, she said being a contestant was “really tough”.

“I found it difficult, only because I had never watched the show, so I went in there blind.

“I genuinely thought it was going to be an easy show, and then I got quite a shock.”

Asked if she’s a good liar, Higgins said: “I will lie about anything when I have to.”

Showstoppers

Higgins wasn’t the only one stunning last night.

Jennifer Lawrence, who was up against Jessie Buckley for best female actor, stepped out in an ethereal sheer dress with floral detailing.
