Actress Rachel Weisz worked her magic tonight as she followed the yellow carpet at the UK premiere of new movie Oz the Great And Powerful.
The 42-year-old, who plays evil witch Evanora, cast a spell over the Empire in Leicester Square, London, in her strapless Michael Kors dress.
She was joined by stunning co-stars Mila Kunis, who chose a brown checked gown with ruffles, and Michelle Williams, in a peacock dress by Burberry.
Weisz, who has starred in The Constant Gardener, The Bourne Legacy and The Mummy, revealed she relished playing a villainess in Sam Raimi's origins story.
She said: "It was really fun. Bad girls definitely have more fun, I think.
"I grew up watching black and white movies with my mum and we used to watch Bette Davis, Jean Harlow and so on.
"It used to be very fashionable for women to play bad girls but I think it's gone out of fashion so I think it's a good idea to make a resurgence."
Weisz, who is married to Bond star Daniel Craig and has a six-year-old son with US filmmaker Darren Aronofsky, said her child played no part in influencing her career choices.
"I would never do a film for my son. He's got his own life, which includes a lot of Lego.
"I thought it was a very fun character. She's very nasty and wicked," she said.
In his fourth reunion with Raimi since the Spider-Man films, James Franco takes the lead role of small-town magician Oscar Diggs, who has to try save the people of Oz from evil, with Williams cast as Glinda the Good Witch and Kunis as Evanora's younger sister Theodora.
Oz The Great And Powerful opens in cinemas on March 8.
