There were a few surprises on this year's FHM Sexiest Women in the World list, not least that former Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan only made it to number 47.
But the 21-year-old actress attempted to show the magazine's readers why she should have reached a higher position as she arrived at a party celebrating the awards last night in a very sexy red dress.
Helen showed off her curves in the plunging bodycon number, which left very little to the imagination. teamed with a pair of black peeptoe shoes.

She even got bronzed for the occasion, telling Twitter followers on Monday: 'Just had a spray tan and it's absolutely throwing it down. Stuck in my car outside the house.'
Helen topped off her outfit by wearing her long brown hair extensions scraped up into a high ponytail on top of her head.
But it was too little too late for FHM's fickle readers, who didn't even vote her the sexiest soap star - her Corrie co-star Michelle Keegan earned that honour after finishing in 26th place.

X-Factor judge Tulisa was this year's surprise winner, ahead of Cheryl Cole, Rihanna, Rosie Jones and Georgia Salpa.
Helen was also pipped by the likes of Pippa Middleton in 11th, Pixie Lott in 12th and Jessie J (16th place).
Instead, the actress was forced to keep company in the 40s with the likes of Fearne Cotton (41), TV presenter Caroline Flack (48) and Little Mix singer Jade Thirlwall (49).

Last night's disappointment was enough to knock Helen off the wagon.
The 21-year-old was snapped sparking up outside the event at the Proud Cabaret Club in London last night - four months to the day after she vowed she'd stubbed out her last cigarette.
Back in January Helen revealed she was quitting her 20-a-day habit so she could keep up with her sporty boyfriend, Swansea City footballer Scott Sinclair.
The actress, who quit Corrie to be closer to the 22-year-old, warned him: 'I might not be the easiest person to get along with over the next few months.'
