Hayden Panettiere, star of NBC show Heroes, turned up at a recent Whaleman Foundation Benefit wearing diamond drop earrings, it has emerged.

According to Sawf News, Panettiere arrived at the Hollywood benefit - held at Eva Longoria Parker's restaurant Beso - in a strapless Herve Leger dress and six-stone diamond drop earrings.

Longoria Parker and her husband Tony Parker were present at the event, as were Panettiere's Heroes co-stars Dania Ramirez, Jack Coleman and Milo Ventimiglia.

The Whaleman Foundation is dedicated to oceanic research, as well as the preservation of whales, dolphins and their natural habitat.

Panettiere's support for the initiative reportedly follows an auction run by the actor on eBay that offered the winning bidder and five friends the chance to be her guests at the celebrity fundraiser, with all proceeds going to the Save the Whales Again! campaign.

Meanwhile, Kinsey & Kinsella spotted Panettiere - who plays Claire Bennet in the show - wearing a platinum diamond ring at this year's ESPY Awards.
