She's back for a second time in the role of M's secretary Miss Moneypenny in the 007 franchise.

Yet Naomie Harris looked miles away from a desk-bound office worker as she turned up at the star-studded world premiere of new Bond flick Spectre at London's Royal Albert Hall on Monday night.

The 39-year-old actress looked incredible in an exquisitely-designed, corseted orange gown, while dripping with an array of diamond-studded jewels.

Bond babe: Naomie Harris looked miles away from a desk-bound office worker as she trod the red carpet at the star-studded premiere of new Bond flick Spectre at London's Royal Albert Hall on Monday night

Naomie oozed Hollywood glamour in a corseted, orange gown by Stella McCartney, which flowed to the ground with a dramatic train.

The stunning Brit was flaunting her cleavage in the tangerine-affair, where the bustier highlighted her ample chest and slender shoulders.

She wore a pair of metallic, thin-strap sky-high heels, which were only visible when an aide helped her arrange the dress' hem to create the perfect picture for waiting photographers.

Despite the simple nature of the gown, it was laden with elegance and drama due to its well-cut lines and slick corsetted bust, which highlighted her defined waist.

Diamonds are a girl's best friend: Naomie was dripping with jewels as she stormed the red carpet, while sporting a stunning string of diamonds on her necklace, while wearing a glimmering, ornate diamond bracelet, ring and studs

Naomie was dripping with jewels as she stormed the red carpet, while sporting a stunning string of diamonds on her necklace, while wearing a glimmering, ornate diamond bracelet, ring and studs.

She wore a black, boxy clutch with a gold trim, which she matched to her vampy, dark manicure.

Her hair was worn in classic, glamorous 1920s style pin curls, which were pulled over to one side with a dramatic side parting.

Naomie's make-up was elegantly muted, as she wore a slick of nude lipstick with delicately outlined eyes and a stunningly, shaped brow.

Crowd pleaser: Talking to the Radio Times about her experience as MI6's trusty Moneypenny, Naomie said that she never thought she'd land a role in a Bond film - let alone her coveted role

Stunner: The stunning star takes on the role of Eve Moneypenny in the franchise and so far her portrayal has received much praise for bringing M’s Secretary into the modern world

The stunning star will play Eve Moneypenny for the second time, after she made her debut in Skyfall, and so far her portrayal has received much praise for bringing M’s Secretary into the modern world.

However when Naomie was asked about how she went about pursuing the role in Sam Mendes' first Bond outing, Skyfall, she revealed she never thought she'd get it as she was 'too old'.

Speaking of her mentality towards landing the role, the British actress explained she never thought she was in with a chance, saying: 'I went along for a laugh. I never thought I’d get it.'

Talking to the Radio Times about her experience as MI6's trusty Moneypenny, Naomie said that she never thought she'd land a role in a Bond film - let alone her coveted role.

Having been cast by Danny Boyle as Elizabeth Lavenza in his Frankenstein production, starring Benedict Cumberbatch, the actress was actually spotted and asked by Mendes to audition.

But while the pull of Bond was too much, the actress explained her defeatist attitude towards landing a role, saying: 'Bond girls have always been in their 20s, so I thought I was too old and I didn’t think I had the right… assets!'

And while she was eventually handed the role of Eve - later revealed to be Moneypenny - in 2012's Skyfall after three auditions, she explained that she was unable to tell anyone - bar her mother.

Although she has carried this talent for secrecy through to the promotional lead-up to Spectre, the Pirates Of The Caribbean star revealed her character will - perhaps - play her biggest role yet.

Starting off as M's very proper secretary in the days of Sean Connery, Naomie explained that in James Bond's 24th cinema outing Moneypenny is 'the only person Bond can trust'.

Following the tragic death of the last M in a run-down chapel at the Skyfall estate, Bond's whole world has been flung into chaos - and there is only one person he confides in.

'She’s the only person Bond can trust. In Spectre, Bond is on a mission but we don’t know who’s sanctioned it. He may have gone rogue,' she explained.

Elaborating on the relationship, she said: 'Everyone thinks he has lost his mind because of M dying. Moneypenny is the only one he can confide in about the true nature of his mission and she helps him.'

Spectre reunites Craig with director Sam Mendes, after 2012′s Skyfall became the highest-grossing Bond film in history.

With a thrilling opening scene set at the Dia de Muertos (Day of the Dead) festival in Mexico, Spectre delivered intense chase scenes, romance and some witty one-liners from Bond and gadgets guru Q, played by Ben Whishaw.

The film follows the agent as he confronts enemies from his past, including his nemesis Franz Oberhauser, played by Christoph Waltz.
