When you're playing a character called Primrose, there's little doubt as to which color you should be rocking on the red carpet. Luckily, Willow Shields, a.k.a. kid sis Primrose Everdeen from
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
, got the memo. She walked the red carpet at the film's London premiere in a lovely and age-appropriate yellow frock from the U.K.'s own Emilia Wickstead.

Decked out in sparkly pink platform heels from Aperlai and jewelry from Bijoux Heart, the young actress revealed that Jennifer Lawrence is just as sisterly off-screen as she is in the film.

"She told me on the first movie, 'These are some big movies, so just stay the way you are right now,' You can't conform to the celeb image," Shields gushed.
While the 13-year-old isn't immune to a typical celebrity crush — that'd be singer Austin Mahone, FYI — she's refreshingly humble and gracious. While her big-screen alter ego Primrose is saved by big sister, Katniss, Shields says, in real life, it's her parents who have helped her most.
"My dad took off work for the whole year to travel with me, because my mom has to stay home with my brother and sister," she said. "They love it, and we have fun, but it's still a big sacrifice."
Of course, we had to ask Shields what her special skill might be if she got in on the Tribute action.
"I do gymnastics, so there could be something involved where I need to flip out of the way or cartwheel out of the way," she suggested. "Other than that, I don't really have any skills."
Obvs, we beg to differ.
