She's the film's leading lady, and was evidently looking for an opportunity to make an impact for her big red carpet moment.

But Olivia Wilde faced stiff competition in the sartorial stakes from supermodel Naomi Campbell as they attended the UK premiere of new movie Rush at London's Odeon Leicester Square on Monday night.

Both ladies opted for rather daring numbers as they hit the red carpet, opting for dramatic plunging black ensembles as they strutted their stuff at the star-studded event.

Olivia, who plays racing driver James Hunt's first wife Suzy in the hotly-anticipated movie, ensured all eyes were well and truly on her in a very low-cut black tuxedo jacket and matching cigarette pants.

The 29-year-old actress left little to the imagination by going bra-less and flashing the flesh as she commanded attention on the red carpet, while adding height to her frame with a pair of fierce spiked stiletto heels.

Olivia completed her incredible premiere look by wearing her light brunette locks teased into loose waves, and injected a pop of colour with a slick of pillar-box red lipstick.

Opting for a similar style, Naomi, 43, put plenty of skin on display in her plunging black minidress, featuring sexy cutaway panels at the waist.

The striking supermodel wore her long raven locks curled around her shoulders, while added even more height to her already statuesque stance with a pair of towering black sandals.

Also hitting the red carpet for the evening was actor Chris Hemsworth and his wife Elsa Pataky, who put on an adorable PDA as they posed for photographs before making their way inside the venue.

And the Australian actor likened playing Formula One champion James Hunt in the gripping drama - which charts the rivalry between Hunt and fellow driver Niki Lauda in 1976 - to portraying superhero Thor.

Lauda survived a catastrophic crash in Germany in the middle of the season, which almost killed him. But just weeks later he was back on the track challenging his English rival.

Comparing the role to comic book hero Thor, Chris said: 'It's a little different and little similar in odd ways.

'I guess, playing a real-life character, there's a huge responsibility and weight on your shoulders to do that person justice and memory of that person.

'And then I guess Thor, he's not a real person as such, but he had a huge following of people for 60 years who knew much more about him than I did. So in a way they were both daunting.'

Meanwhile, Olivia explained it was very hard for the racers' wives to watch them risk their lives every time they took to the track.

She said: 'I don't think I could have dealt with the stress. But I guess that she knew it was the true love of his life.

'And she accepted the challenge of James when she married him. And she went from him to Richard Burton, so it's not like she was afraid of a challenge.'

Olivia and Chris were joined on the red carpet by Rush co-stars Daniel Bruhl - who portrays Lauda in the movie - and Alexandra Mari Lara, as well as director Ron Howard and writer Peter Morgan.

German actor Bruhl explained that making the movie got him addicted to the thrill of driving fast cars.

He said: After one lap, I totally got the addiction because it's pure addiction. The whole car vibrates through your body. I see totally why young guys want to become a race driver.'

Chris agreed: 'It was great. I immediately understood the addiction these guys have with the sport and the incredible amount of power at your fingertips.'
