Saved By The Bell vet Elizabeth Berkley made a sizzling impression on the red carpet on Thursday evening.
The 53-year-old actress was modeling a very sexy and low-cut black gown that had a slit up one leg as she added strappy Versace heels.
The frock highlighted her sensual figure as she oozed Hollywood glamour at the Los Angeles premiere of Kim Kardashian’s new show All’s Fair which also stars Naomi Watts and Glenn Close.
Berkley has a supporting role as one of the law firm’s new clients who is seeking a divorce.
The blonde beauty was posing with her husband of 22 years, Greg Lauren, who is the son of fashion designer Ralph Lauren.
Her spouse made a fun move by wearing a T-shirt with an image of his wife in her big 1995 movie Showgirls about Las Vegas exotic dancers. When the flick was released it was ridiculed for its cheap dialogue, but has since become a cult classic.

Berkley has had an incredibly varied career.
The blonde beauty shot to fame on Saved By The Bell as high school student Jessie Spano, a role tailored especially to her strengths.
And then she played Las Vegas stripper Nomi Malone in the racy 1995 movie Showgirls opposite Gina Gershon.
Her reputation took a hit as the film oozed cheesiness, but then the thespian came back in a Woody Allen movie – 2001’s The Curse Of The Jade Scorpion – and picked up supporting parts here and there.
And the wonder with the winning smile also popped up in the redo of Saved By The Bell.
Saved By The Bell was an instant classic that still has a strong fan base.
She and Tiffani Thiessen had both auditioned for one of the other roles, and after Tiffani got that part, the character of Jessie was created for Elizabeth.
The show ran from 1989 to 1993, after which Elizabeth secured the most infamous gig of her career – the 1995 movie Showgirls.
Showgirls was directed by Paul Verhoeven from a script by Joe Eszterhas, after the two men collaborated on the hit erotic thriller Basic Instinct.

The script at the time was the most expensive ever sold – a sale that became infamous after the film was savaged by the critics and tanked at the box office.
Although the movie was a commercial bomb in theaters, hamstrung partly by its NC-17 rating, it wound up being a smash hit on home video.
Showgirls rapidly became a cult favorite thanks in part to Elizabeth’s over-the-top performance as stripper Nomi Malone and to such ridiculous lines as the character claiming she ‘used to love Doggy Chow’ in a memorable scene with Gina Gershon.
However at the time the film made Elizabeth persona non grata, after she had left Saved By The Bell specifically to break into the movies.
‘Of course it was disappointing that it didn’t do well, but there was so much cruelty around it. I was bullied,’ she told People two years ago.

‘And I didn’t understand why I was being blamed. The job as an actor is to fulfill the vision of the director. And I did everything I was supposed to do.’
She noted ‘no one associated with the film spoke up on my behalf to protect me. I was left out in the cold and I was a pariah in the industry I had worked so hard for.’
Two years ago Elizabeth returned to the Saved By The Bell franchise for the show’s Peacock reboot, which was canceled this May after two seasons.
Meanwhile, Elizabeth’s more recent appearances include the HBO drama miniseries The Idol, which also features the late Anne Heche.
Johnny Depp’s daughter Lily-Rose starred on The Idol, which is about a pop star who falls for a cult-leading nightclub owner.
Viewers saw Lily-Rose, Anne and Elizabeth amid a cast that includes Canadian pop idol The Weeknd and YouTube star Troye Sivan.
