Recent pictures have shown her hard at work in a number of eye-popping ensembles that include a burnt-orange blazer over basic black.
She also at one point brought back Old Hollywood in a scarlet floor-length gown that was perfectly fitted to the figure she spent last year slimming down.
The Hollywood blonde at one point found herself next to a human co-star who was all dressed up in a large dog costume.
At the beginning of the year news broke that Pooch Perfect – initially an Australian TV – found a home on American network television at ABC.

Rebel, who hails from Sydney, hostessed the first season of the dog grooming competition show on the Seven network in her native country.
However last October it emerged that Seven was not picking up the show for the second season which has come to the United States instead.
The American season of the Pooch Perfect premiered on March 30 and is slated to feature eight episodes with 10 contestants.
All the contenders on the program are professional dog groomers and they are able to have their assistants on hand to help them.

At the end of last year Rebel went Live on Instagram for a lengthy discussion of her ‘Year Of Health’ in which she lost more than 60lbs.
The 5ft3in actress explained that while she is in the process of shedding pounds ‘I do try to stay under 1,500 calories, because again of my body type.’
She explained that now that she had arrived at her goal weight of 75kg (approximately 165lbs), she was transitioning ‘more into like a maintenance phase, and probably be about 2,000/2,500 because I do work out like a beast.’

Rebel has credited Vivamayr, a luxury medical center and holistic retreat in Lake Altaussee, Austria, for her astonishing weight loss journey.
Her Cruella De Vil outfit comes after a flurry publicity for Disney’s upcoming live-action origin story movie for the character starring Emma Stone.
English writer Dodie Smith invented the character for his 1956 novel 101 Dalmatians which has been adapted multiple times by Disney.
The original 1961 animated movie starred Betty Lou Gerson as the voice of Cruella, with Glenn Close playing her in two live-action movies decades later.
