Chloe Grace Moretz wore high heels to the People Magazine Awards despite having a sprained knee.

The 17-year-old actress ditched the crutches she'd been using earlier in the day to take to the stage to accept her award for Next Generation Star in a stunning pair of bejewelled heels.

Chloe Grace Moretz braved wearing a pair of high heels to the People Magazine Awards despite having a sprained knee 

She said: "Usually in show business, they say, 'Break a leg'. For me, it'd be more fitting to say, 'Sprain a knee', because I can barely walk right now. So, sorry for my graceful entrance."

Chloe's hair stylist Gregory Russell has also shared the secrets behind his client's stunning hair do at the ceremony at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in California, last night (18.12.14).

He revealed: "We wanted to create a beautiful, effortless look to complement Chloe's Dior dress."

In order to do so he worked Jasmine Oil Serum through Chloe's damp hair, spritzed it with volumising spray and blew it out with a ceramic round brush before pinning up the top sections to create volume.

He then deep-parted her locks, added waves with a flat iron and smoothed loose strands with glossing serum before tucking "one side behind her ear to show off her rad ear cuff".

The 'Carrie' star also thanked people for voting for her, admitting she felt lucky to be in the position she's in at such a young age.

She added: "I'm only 17-years-old and I feel like one of the luckiest 17-year-olds in the world right now."
