Caprice Bourret showed off her jaw-dropping figure in a plunging black midi dress as she stepped out in London on Monday to celebrate her new Channel 5 Christmas film.
The actress, 53, who is starring in new film, A European Christmas, looked sensational as she went braless under the V-neckline figure hugging number.
Caprice elevated her frame in a pair of towering platform heels and toted her belongings around in a matching handbag.
She draped a black wrap, which was edged in fur, off her shoulders and accessorised with a pair of chunky gold hoop earrings.
Leaving her long blonde tresses loose in waves, the model layered two gold necklaces and wore a glamorous palette of makeup as she headed out in the city.

Caprice’s new festive movie was released on Channel 5 today which follows her character Ivy Allen, a struggling, cynical film director who seeks out hunky actor Hunter Williams, the star of her debut movie, in a bid to recapture her old magic.
But after tracking him down in snowy Serbia, Allen – bitter and emotionally wounded after being dumped by a former fiancé over the festive period, gets more than she bargained for.
On Monday, Caprice made her film debut in A European Christmas, a romantic drama co-starring Philip Boyd, Victoria Ekanoye and Blue singer Duncan James.
The model and entrepreneur produced and financed the Channel 5 film herself, but has admitted she would not have had the guts to start making movies on her own without the courage gained from surviving a brain tumour.
She told Weekend magazine: ‘It’s such a huge blessing. The bull**** doesn’t mean anything to me any more. The parties, which I used to love, mean nothing to me. It’s all about my family now. I do what I love to do as work, and that’s it. I’m not scared any more.’
Caprice was training for the winter sports reality show The Jump seven years ago when a scan revealed the terrible news.
‘When somebody says you have a brain tumour you think, “Oh my God, I’m gonna die. I have two three-year-olds and I’m gonna die.” That was awful, a tough time.’
She has two sons, Jett and Jax, with her husband, the financier Ty Comfort. ‘The doctor said, “It’s not cancer but it’s a grower.”

‘That’s just as dangerous, evidently. You could wake up one day and the whole left side of your body will never move again, so you’ve got to get rid of it.’
There were huge risks involved in the treatment for meningioma.
‘This is brain surgery,’ she explained. ‘There’s a chance you’ll wake up and something won’t work, something will have gone wrong.’
The operation took seven hours and involved temporarily removing part of her skull to remove the tumour.
‘I wasn’t aware how extreme it would be. When I woke up there were tubes coming out of everything, I was in the intensive care unit but it looked like the Starship Enterprise.’
Caprice appeared on the covers of hundreds of magazines during the 1990s and Noughties including Vogue, Playboy and Sports Illustrated.
When lad mags were huge in Britain, Caprice was their darling. After a few bit parts in Hollywood she moved to London and acted in Hollyoaks and spy thriller The Dream Team with Roger Moore, and appeared on celebrity versions of Big Brother and Come Dine With Me, and on Dancing On Ice.
She took control of her image at the start of the century, forming her own company and launching a lingerie range with Debenhams.
She later bought back the licence and By Caprice expanded into homeware and other products.
Caprice still models her line of underwear with Peacocks and is said to be worth around £24million.
