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.
