Here comes trouble: Katie Price turned heads last night at the London premiere of The Expendables, wearing a see-through tunic dress and Lycra-style knee-high boots
In a film featuring some of the most famous screen movie stars, there's undeniably going to be some hot competition to grab the limelight.
But as the likes of Sylvester Stallone, Dolph Lundgren and Jason Statham turned out to the London premiere of their new film, The Expendables, it wasn't each other they had to worry about.
In fact the trio had a new rival in town in the form of Katie Price, who ensured all eyes were firmly fixed on her as she joined the red carpet contingent, which included members of the British military.
True to form, the glamour model made certain she was centre of attention as she waltzed into Leicester Square wearing a see-through black tunic dress and Lycra-style knee-high boots.
The mother-of-three then put on show for the assembled photographers, striking a series of poses as if she had just turned up for a modelling shoot.
At the event last night, Hollywood hardman Stallone said he wanted to be a role model to youngsters
Centre of attention: The former glamour model threw a series of sultry poses as she descended on to the red carpet and posed for photographers
Muscle parade: Swedish actor Dolph Lundgren, Hollywood hardman Sylvester Stallone and British star Jason Statham, three of the action heroes who appear in The Expendables
The Rocky star was in London promoting his new movie that he wrote, directed and appears in.
The film boasts a stunning array of muscle, including Jason Statham and Dolph Lundgren, who were also on hand and posed with the members of the British military.
Jet Li, Mickey Rourke, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis also star in the film, but were not there for the UK premiere.
Hardmen together: The trio posed with members of the British military who turned up to the event. The premiere was supporting military charity The ForceSelect Foundation
The plot centres on a group of ex-SAS soldiers who battle an evil drugs baron.
Stallone, 64, said: 'Every generation has to have a hero and this generation has the superhero, it's evolved. But after Avatar it's like, 'Stop, let's go back to basics'.
'Young men need good examples, role models. I know I do, and I hope I might be one of the influences on young guys.'
You looking at me? Stallone, who wrote, directed and appears in the film, gives co-star Jason Statham a firm pat on the back
Fan mania: The actor signs autographs for the hundreds of people who arrived to get a glimpse of the stars
The veteran action star was delighted to see British military officers in uniform on the red carpet as the premiere was supporting military charity The ForceSelect Foundation.
Stallone marched around a group of guards in bearskin hats and tried to jump up to match their height.
He was also amused to hear the crowd filling Leicester Square cheer 'Rocky! Rocky!'
Military man: Lundgren holds up his fists as he stands alongside members of the military
He laughed: 'Unbelievable - These guys weren't even born.'
Stallone claimed the formula for the ultimate action movie was 'simple - heart, energy and humour'.
He added: 'But I forgot the humour in Rambo - but heart and energy.'
Glamorous: Stunning former EastEnders actress Preeya Kalidas looked the part in an intricate backless dress
Dressing to impress: Lisa Snowdon went for a classic pencil-skirted dress, colourful Liz McClarnon slipped into a maxi number while singer Eliza Doolittle bared her legs in a very short pink outfit
Statham and Lundgren also attended the premiere and were full of praise for their director and co-star.
British actor Statham said: 'A lot of the people you put on a pedestal, these big celebrities, they're not everything you expect.
'But he's everything you hoped him to be. He's twice the man, he's so funny, and it's a privilege to meet somebody like that. He's the best man to take to the boozer.'
Lundgren said: 'He's pretty tough and he's pretty talented. I worked with him before on Rocky IV 25 years ago. I like working with him.'
Earlier in the day the trio met troops from the Princess of Wales Royal Regiment, at the Wellington Barracks in London, and got to grips with some of the kind of weapons may be familiar with from their action screen roles.
Don't mess: Earlier in the day the movie stars met troops from the Princess of Wales Royal Regiment
Boys and their toys: They checked out the weaponry at the Wellington Barracks in London
Nice to meet you: Statham, Stallone and Lundgren shake hands with the troops
