Featuring heavy sequin embellishment on its bodice, the floor-length strapless number had more sparsely-dotted detailing on its skirt, meaning Amy's underwear was on full display under the glare of the flashbulb.

But the model certainly didn't seem concerned with revealing too much as as she worked the camera like a true professional, sashaying this way and that as she showed off her glamorous gown to its full effect.

Towering on skyscraper black sequin heels, Amy wore her long blonde locks tumbling in a dramatic cascade of curls, and accessorised with oversized black statement earrings.

The newly-single reality star - who split from jungle mate Joey Essex a mere matter of weeks ago - completed her red carpet with sexy smokey eye make-up, fluttering false eyelashes and pretty pink lipgloss.

Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Margot Robbie and Jonah Hill, The Wolf Of Wall Street is based on the true story of Jordan Belfort, from his rise to a wealthy stockbroker living the high life to his fall involving crime, corruption and the federal government.

One's a body-confident catwalk queen, while the other is usually seen in boardroom-appropriate business suits.

But Daisy Lowe found a rather unlikely red carpet rival in the form of The Apprentice mentor Karren Brady as the two ladies arrived at The Wolf Of Wall Street premiere at London's Odeon Leicester Square on Thursday night.

Despite being 20 years Daisy's senior, Karren, 44, certainly gave the British model a run for her money in the style stakes as the pair displayed a very generous level of cleavage in extremely low-cut ensembles.

Showcasing her assets in all her glory, Daisy made sure to command attention as she arrived at the star-studded event, rocking a dramatic, plunging sheer dress.

Featuring an edgy jaggered hem, the gown's flimsy material meant the 24-year-old beauty's bra and high-waisted knickers were on full display as she posed up a storm for photographs.

The body-confident star sensibly wrapped up against the winter chill with the addition of a black tuxedo blazer, and accessorised her look with a black leather chain-detail handbag and towering lace-up shoe boots.

Daisy completed her red carpet ensemble by wearing her dark brunette locks tousled to perfection, and accentuating her striking features with natural make-up and dramatic eyeliner flicks.

But there's no doubt she wasn't banking on Karren - Lord Alan Sugar's right-hand woman on The Apprentice - taking a leaf out of her sartorial book.

The businesswoman cast her stuffy suits to the side as she put on a very sexy display, strutting her stuff in a very daring black jumpsuit, with just a flimsy piece of sheer material and two shoulder straps preserving her modesty.

Leah Totton has won the ninth series of The Apprentice.

After beating off stiff competition from baking entrepreneur Luisa Zissman in an all-female final, the 24-year-old NHS doctor has secured a business partnership with Lord Sugar, as well as a £250,000 investment in her business plan for a chain of cosmetic clinics across the UK.

Battling it out with the help of their former team-mates, Leah and Luisa went head-to-head over the course-of three days to craft their respective brands, websites, promotional videos and produce launch campaigns for their businesses.

Success story: NHS doctor Leah Totton was crowned winner of the ninth series of The Apprentice on Wednesday night

You're hired: Doctor Leah Totton win Apprentice

Leah was off to a winning start from the outset, securing all of Luisa's first choices of former candidates for her own team as she prepared for her final showdown.

Still remaining positive, Luisa said: 'Leah has taken the strong players, but as long as I can communicate my vision to them, I’m certain that we’ll get it done.

'I think I edge it slightly over Leah from a branding, website building, pitching perspective, so she perhaps does need a stronger team around her.'

His final verdict: Lord Sugar praised Leah as 'a very determined young woman', and admitted she was the 'most interesting' candidate of the series

Risky business: Lord Sugar declared he was willing the take a risk with Leah's business model

The finger of doom! For the only time in the series, Lord Sugar's famous point signalled good news

Number one! Leah couldn't believe her luck after beating off stiff competition from 15 other candidates to win The Apprentice 2013

Spending three days creating their brand visions, everything hinged on a final presentation to Lord Sugar and 100 industry experts from the worlds of cupcakes and cosmetic surgery.

While Leah's pitch went absolutely without hitch, the same could not be said for Luisa, who was left in floods of tears after she came unstuck on a question regarding her expected profit in five years’ time.

After a cooling down period, the girls were asked back into the boardroom to prepare as the self-made millionaire delivered his ultimate verdict.

Disappointed: Runner-up Luisa Zissman joked that Lord Sugar was the first man to ever say no to her

Gracious: Despite being disappointed to have lost out, Luisa was happy for her friend Leah, who she described as 'an amazing person'

Before making his final decision, Lord Sugar asked Leah and Luisa to leave the boardroom so he could consult with show aides Karren Brady and Nick Hewer.

Lord Sugar stated: 'Two completely different business models. As far as Leah is concerned, she doesn’t look like she wants to listen. It’s all very well being adamant about what you want to do but she will need to listen.'

Karren, who was impressed by the young professional from Belfast, responded to his concerns: 'I have to say, having observed her closely, she is an incredibly bright young woman.

Positively gleeful! The Northern Irish doctor skipped out of the boardroom after hearing her happy news

'I mean she really does know what she’s talking about. She’s shown that she can take a gift that she has and use that to create a business. I think that shows a really unique skill.'

Lord Sugar reflected on glamour girl Luisa: 'Earlier on in the process, Luisa came across as a bit difficult I would say.'

Karren responded: 'I was definitely worried at one point if there was a business woman behind that persona she puts across, but I think she’s proved she understands the business.

Tense: Spending three days creating their brand visions, everything hinged on a final presentation to Lord Sugar and 100 industry experts from the worlds of cupcakes and cosmetic surgery

She's the boss! Leah got off to a great start by taking all of the former candidates Luisa wanted for her team

'She’s got a proposition that’s investable and that she’s learned from what you’ve told her and she’s changed and adapted her style.'

Summing up, Lord Sugar said: 'We’ve got two very investable candidates here, it’s not going to be an easy decision.'

Leah and Luisa were brought back into the boardroom to hear Lord Sugar tell them: 'Well ladies, this is the most important meeting we are going to have in this process here.

Winning streak: Leah was off to a winning start from the outset, securing all of Luisa's first choices of former candidates for her own team as she prepared for her final showdown

'It’s the most difficult for me, because we do have two very credible business plans. I’d like to give you a last opportunity of explaining to me why you think you should be my business partner.'

Luisa was invited to respond first, stating: 'I think I should be your business partner. The business that I’m pitching, I know will be profitable.

'Also, as a person, I have a lot of business experience of starting and running businesses and I would love to have you as my business partner.'

True professional: Leah impressed during the presentation stage of the final with her flawless speech

But Leah quickly pitched in: 'I think I’m first of all, pitching a fantastic business opportunity, completely unique and it’s extremely lucrative.

'And also, you’re investing in me as a person and I genuinely think I’m a dependable, trustworthy person to invest in. And I really think that this is a fantastic opportunity for you and myself.'

After a tense pause that left both girls visibly squirming, the multi-millionaire technology mogul announced his winner.

Mounting pressure: Luisa seemed to crumble under the pressure of the presentation

He said: 'So, I think I’ve made my mind up now. At the end of the day, the devil in me is wanting to take a risk. Leah, you’re going to be my new business partner.'

Speaking later on You're Hired on BBC Three, he added: 'She’s a very determined young woman, and it’s a very interesting industry, and she’s the most interesting candidate, and she has the most interesting business proposition.'

Leah was absolutely thrilled to be walking away as winner of the show, and vowed to do everything in her power to impress her new business partner.

Cute as a cupcake! Luisa impressed Lord Sugar with her industry knowledge and flawless branding

She proclaimed: 'To have Lord Sugar show this faith in me is absolutely unbelievable, it’s amazing.

'I had much less experience than the other candidates in business coming in to the process and I really can’t believe that I have got this far and that I’ve actually won it!

'I can’t believe it. I’m really going to do everything that I can to prove that he has made the right decision and I won’t let him down.'

Emotions running high: Luisa was left in tears after thinking she had fluffed the presentation and let her brand down

But Lord Sugar had every faith that Luisa's business plan would take off even further: 'In the case of Luisa, she has three businesses already, and the business she was proposing to me is already very much what she is already doing, she’s going to be OK.'

Brunette bombshell Luisa joked: 'Lord Sugar is the first man to ever say no to me...

She added: 'I’m disappointed but I couldn’t think of losing to anyone other than Leah. We are very close and she’s an amazing girl, and I’m so happy for her.'

Hair-raising: Nick Hewer's famous eyebrows got plenty of action throughout the dramatic episode

Girl power! Lord Sugar's aide, Karren Brady, told the self-made millionaire that she was thrilled he would be going into business with a woman

Katherine Jenkins shows off seemingly demure silver dress at Royal Ascot

Well she has stuck to the rules! Katherine Jenkins shows off seemingly demure silver dress (but manages to display some skin with sheer panels) at Royal Ascot

There has been a lot of controversy surrounding the new dress code for the Royal Enclosure at Ascot this year.

Dresses must fall no shorter than just above the knee, spaghetti straps are out and you can forget about fascinators as headpieces need to have a base of at least four inches.

Even famous faces must adhere to the strict rules but Katherine Jenkins,31, displayed an ingenious way of bending them.

Sticking to the dress code: Katherine Jenkins tweeted a picture of herself on her way to Royal Ascot earlier today

The Welsh songbird appeared to be dressed in a demure silver dress that on the surface ticked all boxes.

It was not strapless, low cut or too short but the rose-print dress did have three subtle sheer panels which showed off slithers of flesh .

Katherine had a light grey wide brimmed hat on her hair and her blonde locks were styled into a bun.

Sheer delight: The Welsh song bird looked elegant in her rose print dress which showed off slithers of skin with subtle sheer panels

Photographers darling: Katherine worked her magic for the cameras

The former Dancing With The Stars contestant was dressed in Garrard jewellery for the occasion.

Around her neck dangled the £4,200 entanglement pendant and she was also sporting a £6,250 ring.

The jewellery is inspired by the Cambridge Lover’s Knot tiara, created by Garrard for Queen Mary in 1914 and later gifted to Diana, the Princess of Wales, by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II as a wedding gift.

Huge headwear: The singer's hat adhered to the rules

The height of sophistication: Amy looked stunning in her optical illusion dress as she soaked up the atmosphere at Royal Ascot

Of course, this time last year, Katherine attended the races with ex-fiancé Gethin Jones, one of their rare public events together.

Katherine wasn't the only familiar face at the races today, Amy Childs, who found fame on TOWIE, also turned out.

The reality star, 22, hid her surgically enhanced chest to the best of her ability in a monochrome dress.
