She’s no stranger to stunning with her glamorous looks.
And Kate Beckinsale put on another show-stopping display in a plunging black velvet gown with a fun gold peplum as she joined Emma Eoberts at the Summer Gala by Gala One at Golf Club Saint-Tropez on Tuesday.
The actress, 50, cut a glamorous figure in the elegant dress as she posed for snaps at the event, which aims to raise funds to support the protection of children and the conservation of biodiversity.
Kate flaunted her incredible figure in the skintight black dress, which boasted a plunging sweetheart neckline and an oversized gold peplum.
The star teamed her look with chunky platform heels, and swept her glossy brunette tresses into a voluminous 60s-esque hairstyle.
Meanwhile Emma, who announced last week that she is engaged to boyfriend Cody John, opted for a sophisticated black strapless gown.
With her sparkling engagement ring on full display, the actress opted for the elegant black gown as she posed for snaps on the green carpet.
Kate has caused concern on social media over several unexplained health scares over the last year, including spending weeks in the hospital and dropping so many pounds that fans called her ‘too thin.’

Earlier this month, she revealed her weight loss is down to the ‘stress and grief’ of the death of her stepfather and her mother’s cancer diagnosis as she hit back at trolls.
The actress slammed some of her ‘a**hole’ followers, who told her she needed to put on weight in the comments section of an Instagram post.
After sharing a video clip in a crop top and bikini bottoms, one follower queried where her ‘a**’ had gone and encouraged Kate to ‘do some squats’.
Another claimed her body had ‘shrank’ while another insisted that she ‘seemed upset’ in the video posted on Monday evening.
However, Kate fired back at the cruel comments ands explained that there were several reasons for her changed figure, including a six-week hospital stint.
She replied: ‘No, actually, I watched my stepfather die quite shockingly, my mother has stage 4 cancer and I lost a lot of eight from stress and grief…
‘Quite quickly and then I was in hospital for six weeks because the grief had burned a hole in my oesophagus, which made me vomit copious amounts of blood, and I found eating very hard…
‘And I just worked very very hard on a movie that was actually quite triggering because it also involved the theme of the death of my father so I’m not really concerned about what you think about my a**.
‘Maybe you should worry about your own f***ing a**. I suggest shoving something up it, like a large pineapple or a brick.’
Kate’s stepdad Roy Battersby died in January after suffering ‘a massive stroke’ while battling two forms of cancer, which he was diagnosed with the summer before.
Shortly after his death, Kate also revealed that her mother Judy Loe had also been told she has stage four cancer.
In recent months, Kate had been caring for her mother and late stepfather after flying them out from the UK to stay with her in Los Angeles.
‘Kate has been caring for her parents, who both have serious illnesses, for most of the year,’ a source exclusively revealed to DailyMail.com late last year.
‘She brought them to her home in LA and has made looking after them her number one priority.’
The insider revealed that the actress — whose biological father Richard Beckinsale died in 1979 at 31 from a heart attack in his sleep — has been feeling the emotional toll in recent months.
‘She was spotted this week several times crying in the corridors of UCLA hospital,’ the source added. ‘Her friends are very concerned that she has been under relentless strain for months and hardly sleeping or eating.
‘Kate appears to be very strong but this has been incredibly hard and, given that she lost her father so young, is affecting her very deeply. Her friends are concerned for her own health.’
A second source explained that her mother Judy has chosen to keep her health battle private, stating: ‘She’s extraordinary, you wouldn’t even know by looking at her. She has been keeping a very positive attitude throughout everything.’
Kate’s mother Judy married Roy 18 years after Kate’s father, Porridge star Richard Beckinsale, died.
Roy enjoyed his own successful career as a director, working on major British on-screen hits including Inspector Morse and Cracker. His most recent directorial credit was for a 2006 episode of A Touch Of Frost.
