Hayley Atwell, Olga Kurylenko, Karen Gillan, Daniel Radcliffe and James McAvoy at the Empire Awards + Full Winners List

And the prize for most daring goes to... Hayley Atwell and Olga Kurylenko wow as they step out in deeply plunging gowns at the Empire Awards

As they presented trophies to their big screen counterparts at Sunday night's Jameson Empire Awards, Hayley Atwell and Olga Kurylenko showed they were winners with their sartorial selections.
The actresses wowed in stunning dresses with deeply plunging necklines as they stepped onto the red carpet at London's Grosvenor House Hotel.
Brunette beauty Hayley, 32, went for a classic, floor-length black gown with a deeply plunging neckline, allowing her to display her ample cleavage.

Going for minimal accessories, save for a pair of glittering chandelier earrings, she teamed the dress with peep-toe heels, while she toted a small clutch bag.
Meanwhile, Quantum Of Solace star Olga turned heads in a form-fitting, sleeveless green number, which boasted semi-sheer detailing on the sides, as well as the length of her taut torso.
With her chestnut brown locks tied back in a neat bun, the Ukrainian-born beauty opted to largely forgo jewellery, complementing her ensemble with a bracelet and a pair of silver strappy heels.
