She journeys back to Britain’s war torn past for her latest role, but it was a very modern Kate Bosworth who made an entrance at BBC studios on Wednesday evening.
The American actress looked typically elegant in an off-the-shoulder dress ahead of an appearance on The One Show, where she was on hand to promote unconventional new drama SS-GB.
With a distinct bronze hue and tasteful fitted detail the outfit ensured Kate, 34, commanded attention as she prepared for her latest interview on behalf of the forthcoming show.

Conventional black stiletto heels completed her look, while a distinct lack of accessories allowed her wardrobe to take centre stage.
Styling her willowy blonde locks in a simple bun, the actress revealed naturally pretty features accentuated by subtly applied foundation, delicate mascara and a generous layer of bold red lipstick.
Taking her place on the studio sofa, Kate was joined by co-star Sam Riley as she talked about the 1941 set show, in which war-time London has been successfully occupied by marauding Nazi Germany, and her role as visiting New York Times reporter Barbara Barga.

‘You don’t really know what side of the line anyone stands,’ she told hosts Matt Baker and Michelle Ackerley. ‘It’s a great psychological thriller for all the characters.
‘I play a journalist who has come over from America to relay the story of what’s happening in the UK.
'She’s mysterious and a femme fatale, which is what I really loved about the character. She’s really great.’

Kate and co-star Sam lead the way in the highly-awaited mini-series from BBC Films, based on the 1976 novel of the same name by Len Deighton.
The series, produced by Sid Gentle Films Ltd, has been adapted from the novel by Bafta award-winners Neal Purvis and Robert Wade.
Set in Nazi-occupied London, the drama is based on the premise that the Germans won the Battle of Britain.

British actor Sam, 37, will play British Detective Douglas Archer, who finds himself working under the brutal SS in occupied London and investigates what appears to be a simple black market murder.
Speaking at the show's London premiere on Monday evening, he said: 'Archer is a compelling and complex character. He is a good guy struggling to reconcile his job as a policeman within the repressive Nazi machine.
'Neal Purvis and Robert Wade have written a gripping screenplay that pays homage to Len Deighton’s novel. I am very much looking forward to working with this talented team.'
Kate added: 'I am thrilled and honoured to be a part of this incredible team, bringing an iconic novel to the screen.'
