Kate Beckinsale puts her back into it as she slips on sexy blue-sequin halter dress for sensual shoot

She has an incredibly tiny waist for the mother of a teenager.

And Kate Beckinsale easily defied her 40 years in a blue-sequin halter disco dress for the November edition of C Magazine, on newsstands now.

In the sensual spread - shot by Diego Uchitel - the British beauty dons a dazzling array of textured designer dresses.

For the cover, Kate displayed her decolletage in a silvery strapless frock with her ombré locks swept in a romantic updo.

And Kate demonstrates elegance simply fastening her earrings while clad in a beaded short-sleeve top and matching pencil skirt.

The Total Recall star maintains her enviable figure with regular 'Yogalosophy' classes with Mandy Ingber, who's also guru to Jennifer Aniston, Brooke Shields, and Helen Hunt.

Beckinsale might be best known for her ass-kicking roles in the Underworld films, but she started out a brainy 'late bloomer.'

She told the mag: 'If you’d asked me when I was at Oxford, "Do you think you’ll ever be running up and down holding a machine gun as a bad guy in a big American movie?" I would have said, "God, no!"'

The brunette beauty shot her first film - Kenneth Branagh's Much Ado About Nothing - during her first summer holiday in 1993.

Kate studied French and Russian literature, and shot three other films, while at New College before dropping out in 1995.

When Kate was six, her actor parents discovered she had an IQ of 152 - not unlike her 14-year-old daughter Lily who attends a school for gifted children.

'As a parent, you are never off the hook. Never. It’s a full time job,' Beckinsale said of co-parenting with her ex-partner of eight years, Michael Sheen.

'I mean, how many times do I call my mother [actress Judy Loe]. Stricken with something going, "Help! Help!" And I'm very old to be doing these things.'

When Kate tied the knot in 2004 with husband Len Wiseman at the Hotel Bel-Air, Lily got her own wedding ring.

'Len was initially a bit alarmed. I think teenage girls are a little frightening to dads, but he's usually in the thick of it,' she said.

'And if he's not, he's one of those brilliant people who doesn’t mind when they find him in his man cave and tease him mercilessly. There is nothing nicer than six of seven screeching girls having a great time in your house.'

The 40-year-old filmmaker has directed his wife in three movies - Underworld, Underworld: Evolution, and Total Recall.

Len is currently hard at work directing and producing Sleepy Hollow, which airs Monday nights on Fox.

And Kate will next appear in the drama, The Trials of Cate McCall, with Nick Nolte and James Cromwell.

In it, she plays a former hotshot lawyer fighting to be reinstated at the bar and attempting to recover custody of her daughter.

Isla Fisher discusses marriage to Sacha Baron Cohen as she glams up for photo shoot

'It's not a normal relationship!' Isla Fisher discusses marriage to Sacha Baron Cohen as she glams up in colourful dresses for photo shoot

Bring married to controversial comedian Sacha Baron Cohen for more than two years has certainly not been a boring experience for Isla Fisher.

The star discusses her relationship with the Les Miserables star in the latest issue of C Magazine , where she poses in a series of bold and beautiful outfits.

'It's definitely not a normal relationship,' she said. 'You know there have been times in the past with the guerrilla style film making of Borat and Bruno where there were surreal conversations: "How many people are suing us? Are you wanted in any states? Are you alive?"'

Lawsuits relating to the movies, including one from the government of Kazakhstan have been dismissed and the couple are concentrating on being parents to two daughters - five-year-old Olive and Elula, two.

Isla also converted from the Methodist religion to Judaism after marrying Sacha, who was brought up in London.

'I love the focus on family, food and laughter,' she said about her new religion. 'You know, I didn't get to go to university because I've been acting since I was a kid.

'So for me, studying theology was also fascinating. I love Judaism.'

However, Isla, who is currently filming the Untitled Elmore Leonard Project with Jennifer Aniston and Tim Robbins, says she has no immediate plans to collaborate with her husband on a film.

'I would love to,' she declared. 'But I think we are collaborating on enough. We're doing out most difficult, most wonderful screenplays: a five year old and a two-year-old at home. I feel that's the most important collaboration.'

Isla will also appear alongside Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan and Tobey McGuire in the hotly anticipated Baz Luhrmann film adaptation of The Great Gatsby, out in cinemas this spring.

She now prefers to star in ensemble pieces and selects roles with consideration to her parental responsibilities.

'It's all about location because of the kids,' she admitted. 'Then it boils down to the filmmaker and the role and the cast. It's definitely different than it used to be. Location wasn't even a consideration, unless it was Syria or somewhere.

'I breastfed both my kids for two years so, you know it was very tiring emotionally and physically. I'm not sure I'd want to do another lead at this juncture in my life. It's why ensemble pieces are so attractive to me.'

The Australian born actress looked stunning as she struck a series of poses for the magazine.

Her red hair proved a striking contrast to a bright pink strapless Oscar de la Renta bustier complete with feather detail.

The 37-year-old star also showed off her svelte figure in a bright tangerine coloured Fendi dress and green cuff bracelet.

Rachel Weisz opens up about Hollywood with a stunning designer magazine shoot

'I used to get really affected by my work': Rachel Weisz opens up about Hollywood with a stunning designer magazine shoot

She's starred in several well-knonw films such as The Mummy and About A Boy, yet there was a time when Rachel Wesiz wasn't so sure of herself.

The 42-year-old actress has revealed that she actually quite enjoys feeling less confident about upcoming roles.

'I want to always feel like it’s a stretch and that I’m not quite sure I can pull it off,' Weisz told C magazine.

Getting used to Hollywood: Rachel Weisz opens up to C magazine about how she approaches new roles

'And I think that is truly the right reaction … I used to get really affected by my work, but when you have a kid, you have to come home and be there mentally.'

The brunette beauty - who is married to actor Daniel Craig - opened up about her approach to her chosen career while posing for the publication and certainly doesn't look like she's in her early forties.

However, as she gazes at the camera, the mother-of-one is showing off a more grown-up look in three different flattering outfits.

First up Weisz is seen resting her chin on the palm of her hand while wearing a low-cut red and cream Prada bodysuit which costs $1,320.

The London-born star then went on to say that it took her a while to separate real-life from being on set.

'When the director says "cut," it’s all make-believe, and strangely enough, that took me a little bit of time to work out,' she said.

Weisz - who has a six-year-old son Henry with filmmaker and producer Darren Aronofsky - currently resides in New York city and it seems there is no place she would rather be.

'Everyone moans about the city changing and becoming gentrified, but I think the East Village still has a little edge and also has a community,' she said.

Wearing a long-sleeved deep purple sweater by Givency, Weisz then began speaking about her latest film, The Bourne Legacy, in which she plays Stephanie Snyder.

'Jason Bourne is in the periphery of the story, but it’s about a new military program and I am thrown together with Jeremy Renner‘s character by circumstance, because, well, we need each other,' she explained.

Weisz also has two other films which are currently in post-production entitled To The Wonder and 360.

The British star is currently filming Oz: The Great and Powerful, while Craig is busy shooting the latest Bond film, meaning it's going to be a rather busy year for the Hollywood pair.

The full interview and photoshoot with Weisz can be seen in the Summer issue of C Magazine which is available to buy on June 12.
