The Jurassic Park stunner, who is an Australian size-10, made a worrying confession at the Golden Globes in LA on Sunday, revealing she had to purchase her own gown for the event from a department store because many high-end designers don’t cater for her dress size.

“I like having lots of options for a size six [an Australian size 10], as opposed to maybe one option, so I always go to department stores for this kind of stuff,” the 34-year-old confessed of her $4,800 glittering blue Jenny Packham frock.

“I picked it up at [American department store] Niemens this week,” she added.

E! host Giuliana Rancic couldn’t quite believe what she was hearing and gasped, “You went and bought it yourself?!”

Despite getting the dress off the rack Bryce, who was presenting an award that night, looked absolutely incredible and was one of the best-dressed celebs of the night.

Total knockout! Bryce’s Jenny Packham gown might have been purchased off the rack but the star was still one of the best dressed celebs of the night.

Her bold admission won praise from fans all over the world.

“So real love her,” one fan tweeted.

“Another reason to love her!!” another added.

“She’s beautiful! can’t believe a size 6 isn’t normal in hollywood. So sad,” a fan agreed.

But it was perhaps her husband who summed it up best. “Thank you @goldenglobes for confirming the hotness of my wife :),” Seth Gabel tweeted.
