Fuller-figured Sunset Beach actress Laura Harring looks almost unrecognisable as she steps out for New York charity event

She made her name playing sexy, sultry sirens in films like Mulholland Drive and the TV show Sunset Beach.

But these days Laura Harring is sporting a distinctly different look.

As she attended the second Annual David Lynch Foundation in Los Angeles last night, it seemed the 46-year-old no longer has the figure that won her the Miss USA title in 1985.

Back in the day: A much slimmer Laura in 2001

Looking swell: Laura looked decidely curvier on the red carpet last night, in comparison to how she looked in 2001

Wearing an overly revealing and rather unflattering black dress, the Mexican-born star looked bloated and uncomfortable as she posed on the red carpet.

At one point the actress tried to hide her figure in a gauzy blue wrap, but couldn't quite cover up the fact that she's gained a significant amount of weight since she filmed Mullholland Drive in 2001.

She played the mysterious Rita in the film.

Susan Sarandon and Rose McGowan also attended the event wearing little black dresses.

Rose looked fresh and lovely in a very playful dress and heels, with her hair in loose waves.

Meanwhile Sarandon looked a little awkward as she made a strange pose for photographers.

Also attending the event were newlyweds Russell Brand and Katy Perry.

Wearing an ankle-length off the shoulder black dress and with her hair loose, the 26-year-old matched her husband perfectly with her goth style.

Russell was his usual slinky self in purple trousers and a black silk shirt.
