Making her debut on U.S. television, Freema Agyeman is certainly giving the American audience something to remember.
Starring in the hotly anticipated Sex & The City prequel, The Carrie Diaries, the British actress plays a style editor in the first episode.
Style maven Freema's character Larissa Loughlin is far cry from her role as Doctor Who's companion Martha Jones.

The first instalment of the teen comedy-drama series aired on The CW channel on Monday night.
16-year-old Carrie Bradshaw - played by AnnaSophia Robb - has just lost her mother and is having to deal with a rebellious younger sister Dorrit and a struggling single father Tom.
But a chance encounter with Larissa in a department store puts Carrie on the fashion track, even if her newly found mentor is somewhat an eccentric.

Mentor: Freema's character takes a young Carrie Bradshaw under her wing after bumping into her in a New York department store in the premiere episode of the US show.
Over share: Larissa drags Carrie into a changing room and whips her top off as she tries on a blue dress, exposing her leopard print bra.
Freema joins the British-born actors taking U.S. television by storm and will no doubt hope her success could match that of Golden Globe winner Damian Lewis and House star Hugh Laurie.
Even though she only appears in one episode at the moment, this show is certainly the first step on that upward trajectory towards stardom, especially now that Gossip Girl has concluded.
And Freema will be hoping to get noticed for more TV or film roles now that she's made a rather saucy impression.
