After being seen as dowdy Tess of the D’Urbevilles over the weekend, Gemma showed a far sexier side when she arrived at a London party to mark the end of author Ian Fleming’s centenary year.

The 22-year-old showed off her curvaceous figure in a stunning gold dress.

Her outfit was a far cry from the dowdy clothes her character Tess wears in the BBC adaptation of the Thomas Hardy novel.

An entire host of Bond stars turned out to the event on Sunday to pay tribute to Bond author Fleming, including former 007 star Roger Moore and the current Bond, Daniel Craig.

‘Kissing Daniel was great - I can’t pretend that it wasn’t,’ Gemma Arterton talks about falling for 007’s charms

Gemma Arterton: ‘Kissing Daniel was great – I can’t pretend it wasn’t. It was my first day on set and I’d only met him once before – and then suddenly we were expected to kiss. But I just couldn’t get that image of him walking out of the sea in Casino Royale out of my head. He was very cool and I was a giggling mess. I mumbled something like, “I just kissed you!” and he just coolly said, “Yes, you did. And now we have to do it again.” Fortunately, he’s an incredible kisser.’

Daniel Craig: ‘Gemma’s character is great and she plays it to the hilt. She’s an agent who seems clueless, but she’s smarter than we first think.

I have made DVD screencaps of Gemma’s role as Frankie in Three and Out, which was recently released on DVD in the UK. I think Gemma is just wonderful in this role and she gets to be both funny and heartbreaking. And her look is super cute! The film is well worth a look just for her, even though her role is smaller than I expected.

We’re sorry for the shameless plug, but a dear friend of ours opened a site today and we’d like to promote it here to help her get started. Pay her a visit. We’re sure she’ll love it and she deserves all our support!

I’ve also added a brand new photo to the gallery. It’s from a session for Blag Magazine. Unfortunately, we don’t own the magazine itself nor do we have scans from it. But, at least, we have this lovely photo to cheer us up!

So, what did you think of last night’s episode of Tess?

BBC1’s adaptation of Tess of the D’Urbervilles lost 600,000 viewers for its second episode last night, but still managed to top ITV1 drama Agatha Christie’s Poirot, and movie productions The Notebook and Black Hawk Down in the 9pm hour. Not bad at all!

Gemma was nowhere to be seen in last night’s episode of Lost in Austen. I guess we’ll only get to see Elizabeth again in next week’s final episode.

Guy Ritchie’s latest action flick RocknRolla won’t hit theaters here in the U.S. until Oct. 31, but in case you can’t take the wait, here are six clips to give you a sneak peek. In the film, London’s toughest criminals go head to head in the race for a bunch of money. Gemma appears briefly in the fifth clip.

In the meantime, I’ve kept myself busy capping the first episode of Tess.

Her favourite actress is Elizabeth Taylor, her film Mary Poppins and her book The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. She is teaching herself Spanish and is a fine singer. She is the protagonist of BBC1’s adapation of Thomas Hardy’s Tess of the D’Urbervilles and the hot new Bond girl who’s gonna blow everyone away. Watch out for Gemma Arterton!

Is it me or Tatler (and the production of Prince of Persia) went for a modern and tanned version of Cleopatra?

When the opening credits roll on the BBC’s new production of Thomas Hardy’s Tess Of The D’Urbervilles, they will herald one of the most incredible dramas of all time.

It is a story of passion, loss and the battle for survival against the odds. Not the script for Tess’s tragic life but the extraordinary real-life events that threatened to make Tess the first ever costume drama without any costumes.

A devastating fire four weeks into filming destroyed 750 period costumes, worth an eyewatering £320,000. Crucially, it left major actors with only the outfits they had worn in the previous day’s scenes.

With no time spare to delay filming, costume designer James Keast had just 24 hours to replace the costumes.

What followed was a series of remarkable makeshift measures, culminating in one major star wearing a shirt fashioned from James’s own duvet cover.

If you thought that there wasn’t enough Gemma in last week’s episode of Lost in Austen… Well, think again! There was even less in this week’s episode! She only appeared in the “previously” and “opening credits” bits.

Fortunately, we’ll be able to rejoice (okay, maybe that’s not the most appropriate word for a tragic story, but you get the point) with Tess of the D’Urbervilles this Sunday (at 9pm on BBC1).

Andy Welch talks to the newest Bond girl about playing Thomas Hardy’s eponymous heroine and the differences between period drama and Hollywood blockbusters

Despite spending the last few months in some of the world’s most glamorous locations filming one of the year’s most anticipated films, Gemma Arterton still describes filming Tess Of The D’Urbervilles as the best time of her life.

When you consider the amount of time she spent during shooting of the forthcoming Bond film getting up close and personal with buff leading man Daniel Craig, that praise seems even more startling.

“I loved every minute of it,” says Gemma,
