Capturing the eye of an A-lister is no easy feat, especially when they are shrouded with personal security and bodyguards.
But with these striking images, it's little wonder that the mother of Hugh Grant's baby, Tinglan Hong, manged to get her claws into the Bridget Jones star.
In a series of provocative shots, the 31-year-old flirts with the camera as she strips off and squeezes her chest in order to accentuate her cleavage while licking her lips with enticing 'come to bed' eyes.

In one picture, Hong goes completely topless and holds her breasts to cover her modesty.
Last week it emerged that dedicated bachelor Grant, 51, had become a father for the first time following a 'fleeting affair' with the Chinese beauty.

Hong's ex-boyfriend Robert Hodge has spoken out regarding the incident, releasing photographs of him and his former flame, and revealing that Grant 'doesn't want to take responsibility'.
She obviously has a taste for the more mature gentleman, with Grant being 20 years her senior, and Hodge 24 years older.
Hong dated the 55-year-old car buyer for 18 months before embarking on a romance with the Golden Globe-winner, 51.

Although reportedly 'delighted' at becoming a father, the Notting Hill star is said to have been absent during the birth and spent just half an hour with his daughter before heading to Scotland to play golf.

Last week, he was pictured with German burlesque dancer Elisa Schimdt, just 21, who is said to be the latest object of his affections.
Robert, a divorced father-of-four from Wandsworth, South London, claims to have no hard feelings towards Grant.
But the star's behaviour towards his Hong, for whom he still cares deeply, has clearly irked him.
Robert said: 'I don't think he has been as considerate as he could have been, no.
'He has brought all this attention on her but doesn't want to take responsibility for any of it.
'He has been able to turn up at her house in his Ferrari, bringing the paparazzi straight to her door, and then leave the country again.
'Meanwhile, it's Ting Ting who has been left to deal with all of this.
'Now he's apparently with this burlesque dancer.
'It's all very well that his publicist has described his time with Ting Ting as a fleeting romance but it wasn't fleeting.
'At one time, he told people she was a big part of his life - it's not very fair that he has dismissed that.
'Even if he isn't with her, he has had a hand in creating this situation.'
So far, little is known about the mother of Grant's child other than that she was brought up in the town of Lishni in Zhejiang Province, Eastern China.
But Robert, who has been divorced for 11 years, is now able to offer an intriguing insight.
He first met Ting Ting in 2006 at the Dog and Fox pub in Wimbledon, and was attracted by her vivacious and bubbly personality.
Ting Ting had just graduated from a hotel management degree at the University of Surrey in Guildford after arriving in the UK several years previously.
She told Robert she was running an internet-based import and export business from her tiny flat in New Malden, Surrey.
It took two years for their friendship to deepen into a romantic relationship.
Robert recalled: 'It got to the stage we both wanted to be together.
'She was never moody, always a really nice person to be around. She doesn't drink alcohol, but is always the life and soul of any gathering. She has huge character and likes spontaneity, to go with the flow.'

'She's a little bit crazy and quite often does something weird - a funny facial expression or little mannerism.
'It was her innocence that made her a bit cheeky. We laughed a lot together.'

It was later in 2008, following their split, that Ting Ting went out with friends to Brinkley's, a wine bar in Chelsea popular with well-heeled local celebrities including Elizabeth Hurley, Hugh Grant, cricketer Kevin Pietersen and Chelsea footballer Frank Lampard.
'The next day she showed me this photograph on her phone with Hugh Grant.
'We laughed about it and she'd bring it out to show people but I didn't think any more about it.
'Generally, she wasn't really interested in celebrity, she didn't buy those magazines.
'She enjoyed looking after me, playing the housewife.'
Their relationship became more serious and Robert says Ting Ting talked about wanting to settle down, yet he was not keen to move too fast after his marriage breakdown and says Ting Ting accepted that.
'She wanted a stable life with someone. But we didn't talk about moving in together. I think she respected my situation, but she wanted children.
'We never spoke about it seriously, but it was clear.'
But there was undoubtedly an element of secrecy in their relationship. Robert knew little of her family, and admits he has no idea what goods she was involved in importing.
There is no record of her business at Companies House and Robert does not know what her visa status is.
After graduating in 2006, Ting Ting was entitled to a two-year post-study work visa, which would have expired in 2008.

Robert dismisses these things and says, again, that he simply did not ask the questions.
Ting Ting returned to China for a family visit in late 2009 and stayed for two months.
During the trip, she emailed Robert some racy modelling photographs she had taken at a studio as part of a 'vanity shoot' - popular among young Chinese women.
Robert says: 'It didn't really fit in with her character. Yes, she's gregarious but these were saucy.'
In early 2010, Ting Ting broke off the relationship, claiming she needed time to herself, but it seemed her romance with Grant was beginning to blossom.
Hong later revealed Grant's ex-girlfriend Liz Hurley had been to the child and that she was to be the child's godmother and said the little girl had been nicknamed Bamboo but that her Chinese name translates as 'Happy Accident'.

Life imitating art? Hugh Grant, pictured right in Bridget Jones's diary, regularly plays the same character - a caddish English gentleman who usually had to be dragged to the altar
So she ran an import-export business from her tiny flat & got a degree in hotel management......so where's the acting resume since she's reported to be a Chinese "actress"? Or is it just another case of a woman whose career is rich-husband or baby-daddy hunting & they always use the terms "model" & "actress" as a cover for a nothing life. I think this woman is really creepy.
