Chloe Sevigny swaps her Mormon costume for racy suspenders and stockings

They say if you go sexy on the bottom half, you should stay demure on the top.

But Chloe Sevigny took the fashion rule a little too far last night, when she slipped into  an eye-popping PVC skirt, suspenders and stockings ensemble and paired it with a buttoned up dowdy denim.

The 36-year-old, who is known for her quirky style sense, wore the strange combination for a night out on the town in Hollywood.

She teamed the look with a pair of leather boots and went make-up free for the outing.

Sevigny started out at the Château Marmont for her night out, and later amped it up at the Roosevelt Hotel for a spot of clubbing at Teddy's nightclub.

Leaving the establishment she looked a little worse for wear, trying desperately not to be snapped by the waiting paparazzi by covering her face.

Earlier in the day, Sevigny was wearing the same denim jacket, but she paired it with a chic nautical stripped dress and a pair of wooden clogs.

Sevigny is notorious for her imaginative and sometimes strange clothing choices - but has said that she hates getting attention for her style.

'For some reason the public has embraced me as a fashion icon, and I feel like it has diminished me as an actress', she has said in the past.

'Or I don't get as much recognition as an actress - and that upsets me.'

Last night's risqué outfit is a far cry from the clothes she has to wear on U.S. TV show Big Love.

Sevigny plays Nicolette Grant on the show, the polygamous second wife of Mormon businessman Bill Henrickson, played by Bill Paxton.

Henrickson's other two wives are played by Ginnifer Goodwin and Jeanne Tripplehorn, and the role of his daughter Sarah is played by Mamma Mia star Amanda Seyfried.

In her role as a strict Mormon woman, Sevigny always wears very conservative outfits: dresses with skirts down to her ankles, frilly blouses and with her hair always in an old-fashioned plait.

As the character of Nicolette Grant is the most traditional of Bill Henrickson's three wives, Sevigny rarely gets to stray from wearing these very plain and modest outfits.

This is in direct contrast to the types of clothes the former fashion model wears on a daily basis.

Big Love is close to be running it's course, and the actress is said to be  currently scouting her next role.

HBO confirmed reports that Sevigny was developing a miniseries about Lizzie Borden, the 19th century woman who became a part of American folklore after being accused and acquitted of murdering her father and stepmother with a hatchet.

The project is said to be in the early stages of development with Tom Hanks-and-Gary Goetzman production company Playtone, who also produced Big Love.
