Jamie Chung knows how to keep her enviable figure in the best shape.

And on Sunday, the Sin City: A Dame To Kill For star displayed her athleticism during the Nike Paris Centre 10k Marathon.

The makeup-free 31-year-old reached the finish line with her best personal record of just under 49 minutes for an impressive race.

Jamie showed off her toned physique in a pair of tight black spandex shorts and matching sports tank top with a lightweight grey sweater tied around her waist.

The actress let her natural skin glow and appeared barefaced as she had her long brunette tresses pulled back tightly in a high ponytail.

To complete her outfit, she sported bright purple Nike running shoes for supportive and fancy footwear.

Following her sporty accomplishment, she took to her Instagram account to share several pictures from the marathon event.

In a message, Jamie wrote: 'Eye on the prize (aka the finish line)! Official time for 10k 48:50!! Woohoo!!'

The Big Hero 6 star is also training for another Nike 10k which will be held in the States in San Francisco, California on October 19.

In another shot, she took a snap of her silver medal for crossing the finish line along with a time stamp of her official completion.

'Pain is temporary. But that was challenging! Quit possibly the most beautiful run thru Paris! #trainharder #nike, ' she said in the caption.

Throughout the entire run, Jamie had a supportive group of friends who ended the marathon with her as seen in one of her many photos.

Back in 2013 when Jamie was training for her first Nike SF 10k Marathon she revealed to Glamour how she prepped her workout training for the big race.

'I love running! I would run Monday, Tuesday, Friday and Saturdays and rotate a spin class, Pilates, vinyasa flow power yoga or boxing into my Wednesday cross-training days,' she shared. 'Thursday's were active rest days, and on Sundays I was told to go on hour-long power walks to flush out my legs.'

She also added what was her most challenging part about training: 'Finding the time to go for that long run amidst traveling and work. These long runs took up an average 2.5 hours, which is a lot of time spent running/working out! It was the most satisfying feeling to complete the weekly training schedule without missing a day.'

And for runners looking to participate in their first ever marathon, Jamie advises to set small goals. 'Set achievable goals. Increase your runs weekly by adding five to ten minutes to each run and work up to a steady pace.'

Jamie Chung Spills Wedding Secrets

Jamie Chung Spills Wedding Secrets: Sin City Star Will Not Wear ''Huge Princess Gown,'' but She Might Get Married in...Wyoming!

Here's something on which we can all agree: Jamie Chung is bound to be one beautiful bride.
The Sin City: A Dame to Kill For star, who is engaged to Bryan Greenberg, took a moment to chat with E! News on Wednesday, dishing loads of wedding deets on everything from her dress to the decor to the possible location.
Let the wedding buzz begin!
"Well we want it to be rustic and colorful. It's going to be in the fall," the 31-year-old beauty, who looked absolutely stunning last night at the Los Angeles premiere for her latest flick, shared.

Although Chung has previously mentioned California as a possible wedding location, the Once Upon a Time star confessed she has yet to make up her mind.
"We are leaning towards outdoors, but we're not completely settled on California," she revealed. "There are some amazing places in Wyoming…I just came back from a wedding in Jackson Hole and talk about a dream wedding…it was so beautiful, it's like a slice of heaven."
"So I don't know!" she continued. "I kind of want to go out on a limb and maybe do something in, like, Montana. There are so many great campsites there and venues to get married, but it's still up the air."
Another important detail Chung is busy perfecting? Her wedding dress! And while the actress previously confirmed that Monique Lhuillier herself will be designing her gown, she admitted she has yet to have a bridal fitting.

"I still haven't even made it into the boutique to try on the dresses she has to get a sense of the style I want. She's so busy! Hopefully I will be able to see her after fashion week," she said.
Asked whether she will be attending Lhuillier's upcoming show, Chung replied, "I hope so. I just finished a show for Hulu called Resident Advisors, and at the moment I'm really looking forward to taking a short break from TV and film to kind of work on fashion stuff and the blog."
But despite having yet to set foot in the famous designer's boutique, the fashionista knows exactly what she wants in a wedding dress.
"I would certainly choose the latter," she replied when asked if she would describe her wedding style as over-the-top or simple. "I want it to be simple and beautiful and not clunky. I'll tell you what I'm not into: huge princess gowns…over-the-top is not really my style."
E! News confirmed Chung's engagement to Greenberg just after the new year. The two began dating in the spring of 2012, and in mid-April, they took their romance public at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Annual Festival in Indio, Calif.
Congrats to the happy couple!

She's got va va voom! Jessica Alba dazzles in an uplifting blue strapless dress at Sin City: A Dame To Kill For première

With her strapless electric blue peplum dress, Jessica Alba ensured all eyes were on her as she stepped out at the premiere of Sin City: A Dame To Kill For on Tuesday.

The 33-year-old actress showed off her cleavage in the uplifting frock which enhanced her stunning figure.

Alba wore her hair in loose tousled waves, smokey brown eye-shadow, nude lipstick and strappy silver mules.

The Cash that got the cream: Alba's husband looked rather pleased to be accompanying the stunning actress to the event

She was accompanied by husband Cash Warren who looked smart in a black suit and grey tie, putting his arm around his wife of six years as they posed together for photographers.

Alba reprises her role as sexy stripper Nancy Callahan in the movie which follows on from the 2005 original.

The film sees Nancy still dealing with John Hartigan's (Bruce Willis) suicide, which took place in the first movie.

Adding the glamour: Jaime King posed with Alba on the red carpet in a one shouldered black gown

Willis makes a cameo appearance in the new movie where he is shown attempting to advise an increasingly insane Nancy through hallucinations.

'She starts off in the beginning of the film as this crazy, sad drunk,' the actress recently told MTV News about her character. 'Really [it's] just playing someone completely different to the first one.'

'It’s nice to play a character that you loved,' she added. 'And I really loved Nancy in the first film. I wanted her to evolve, and I wanted her to be different, and I wanted to bring something else to the table.

Double act: Jaime King plays identical twins Goldie and Wendy in the movie

Hell for leather: Rosario Dawson sported a structured clinging black dress with lace touches

'It was really fun to play that, to do that in this movie.'

The film is largely based on the second book in Frank Miller's noir indebted Sin City comic series.

The stories A Dame To Kill For, Just Another Saturday Night, The Long Bad Night and the Fat Losswere adapted by Miller and directed by Robert Rodriguez.

Selfie time: Rosario took a moment to sign autographs with waiting fans outside the venue

The original 2005 film grossed $29.1 million on its opening weekend and wound up with a worldwide total of $158.7 million at the box office.

However, Alba does not provide the only touch of glamour in the film.

Eva Green, Rosario Dawson, Jaime King, Jamie Chung and Juno Temple also appear in a star-studded ensemble cast.

Green plays Ava Lord, who she has described as 'a very extreme femme fatale.'

She told GQ: '[Ava is] really very jaded, she manipulates men, she feels empowered and smarter when she does it, she's incredibly full-on - nothing is sacred. The main thing is to have fun with those kind of characters. She's so free and corrupt, she's just bonkers. It really was so fun to play.'

However, the French actress says she never met any of her female co-stars while filming the production.

'They were all finished when I arrived and I arrived last on board,' she recalled. 'But I met them separately for publicity and they're lovely girls.

'I just wish I had had some scenes with them. I only had scenes with men, all men.'

Eva appeared on Tuesday's red carpet looking particularly dramatic in a floor length lacy green gown with floaty pieces of material draper over the shoulders.
